Presidential debates scare me. They don’t scare me like a horror flick or clueless voters… or do they? A few small blood vessels burst (and I lose small clusters of brain cells) every time I hear an undecided voter say they don’t know enough about the candidates yet. Really? How hard do you have to work to stay ignorant during a two year presidential campaign? Have they heard of…
More than a year ago my mother was committed to the state hospital, three hundred miles away. She hasn’t gotten any better. The last news I heard from the staff was they were going to try stopping all her meds and start over from scratch. The options are somewhat limited because the medication that worked (for a long time) just about destroyed her kidneys.

Conservatives are begging McCain to hit Obama with Rezko and Ayers at the next (and final) debate. I don’t know why. Ad money does a lot of talking – talking that can’t be immediately rebutted. The question is, in a room with both candidates present, would they be as giddy talking about Liddy?

We pulled Beth out of her school yesterday. We’re not opting for a private school though… well not exactly. There’s a charter school down the road that a bunch of folks at church recommended. Today’s her first day… wearing a uniform. I’m working really hard to repress all of the bad associations with school uniforms running around in my mind.

I’ve spent most of the last 48 hours in the same spot. More than you wanted to know, right? Here’s more: I’d say I’ve been high on cold medication, but I think most of them are technically downers.
If tonight is any gage for tomorrow’s prospects, we may have more to look forward to tomorrow. Ah, but there’s a bright side to all of this. I’ll have time to…
