Not too much to report in the world of me. I went to visit Denise in State College, PA, last week. We watched some Black Books and saw Matt Nathanson perform in the Weirdest Show Ever. First of all, it was an actual theatre with normal seats, but still only about 200 seats total. And everyone was sitting down until the very end when we gave him

What you said pretty much surmises why I don't like her. She doesn't have nearly as much public service experience as she claims, and she worked on the board of Wal-Mart, one of the worst companies in America. I think she's disingenuous and manipulative. She's very intelligent, but without any kind of moral compass. She seems like the kind of person who wants power simply for power's sake and that scares the hell out of me.

I don't think she's ridden her husband's coattails - I think she's latched onto the coattails of many other people, much like her husband, actually. The other day on (I believe) 60 Minutes, she essentially took credit for the Civil Rights and Women's Lib Movements in the '60s and '70s. Instead of saying something like, "Thanks to the work of so many people throughout the years, Senator Obama and I are now in an unprecidented position", she said, "After all my hard work, etc."

Anyway, I'm really hoping for Obama v. McCain. They are definitely the best candidates on either side, and I think it will be a very tough choice between them - in a good way!
