I Know I’m Boring Lately

My apologies.

I have plently to say on the election, but I’m muzzled by the Hatch Act when I blog from work, which is where I do my blogging these days since I’m so done in by the end of a work day that I don’t bother to go anywhere but to bed when I get home. Thank you, run on sentence.

I love Peggy Noonan, but I disagree with this column. I’m disappointed to hear and read the dismissal of Gov. Palin’s down home personality and speech. Noonan doesn’t get that this is what people are flocking to her rallies for - she is not a wonk or part of the party intelligensia or the good ole boy network in Washington. This is why she resonates with regular people. Show me in the Constitution where a politician is required to speak in so high falutin’ a manner to be qualified to run for any public office. I don’t believe it impacts her effectiveness as a Governor and I don’t believe that it will impact her effectiveness as Vice President. I have no problem with being called “Mom or Dad” instead of “Mother or Father” in speeches. I don’t see it as dumbing down. I am Mom. My mother is Mom. It’s as good a term as mother, imho. Anyway, my 2 cents.

I don’t understand the Fang tribe on Survivor. Two weeks in a row the majority talked about ousting the people who most threaten them and yet they vote out someone else. I think the lack of food is affecting their brains as much as their brawn. That said, it was cool that they had the experience with the elephant that hangs out near their camp.

I really want to go see Quantum of Solace in the theater when it comes out.

How ‘bout them Red Sox?
