grrrrrr

the palin speech was totally depressing--- i can't believe they've again reduced themselves to rovian politics---actually i can believe it, but being the sucker that i am, i gave mccain the benefit of the doubt and thought he might be at least marginally better than bush. But palin was smug and sarcastic, belittling half of the country (you and me) as she mocked obama, with nothing in between to suggest how they might differ from the wretchedness of the last eight years other than doubling down on the blatant appeals to bigotry, ignorance, and religious intolerance---

obama has raised $8 million just since last night and expect to hit $11 million by the time McCan't speaks tonight---i just did my part to make that happen---i can't really afford it right now, but i can't afford not to---

and a little local color, if you will: the illustrious rep. lynn westmoreland (fayette, coweta counties) , who i think is the state's most retarded congressman at this particular point in time, was quoted today as calling obama "uppity"!!!!!!!!!! and asked if that was really what he said, he repeated it: "uppity"----- he didn't say "uppity n_ _ _ _ _ _" but anybody that grew up in the south could fill in the blank----

jeez---i hope my stent and cardiovascular system in general hold up for the next two months
