I was obviously going to talk about the election tonight, but nobody even gets to start talking about results until 10pm our time, and I'll be long asleep before things get finalized. Especially since last night's wind storm kept us up most of the night. The house was shaking, our locked bedroom window popped open anyway, and the power went out several times. I've got a flat of plywood beside my house, but there's only a strap on one end of the load. The wind actually lifted up the first two sheets, ripped them off at the metal strapping, and blew the 6x4 foot sheets several blocks down the street!
So that brings me to Osama. Does everyone actually believe the stories to be true? Somehow, this sounds suspiciously like the "one giant leap for mankind" hoax that so many fell for in the sixties. For ten years, there's no sightings, or even half-decent intelligence to say that they're anywhere close to tracking him down. Suddenly, one day they just find him, kill him, and dump his body in the ocean. Nice and tidy. Seems to me like some desperate "straw grasping" by a President who's only noteworthy event so far is a multi-billion dollar bailout that went mostly to the back pockets of fatcat executives who undeservedly got to keep their highly paying jobs, while those that needed the bailout lined up at the soup kitchens. I guess Obama's got to do something to prevent getting labeled as a "democratic single-termed Jimmy Carter".
Election results tomorrow.
Stay tuned.
