Not much to report. Debbie and I both worked late, then grabbed some dinner. We were going to hit Dairy Queen and take a Blizzard up to Nestina at her work, but the bums closed a half-hour early. We still stopped by Movie Gallery to harass Nestina, but she put us to work, so we left. Debbie went right to bed, and I read until midnight or so, then hit the sack as well. Even though we have been having August weather (humid and in the 80's every day), I can tell winter is approaching because hibernation mode is starting to kick in. I need to find a way to be able to wrap up in a blanket and read for 6 months of the year and still get paid for it.

Anyway, the only thing to catch my eye today was an article titled This is the Free-Speech Party? Back in the day, the Republicans were for business interests and Democrats were for the little guy. Leave aside the question of why it is an either/or question for now; that was the Standard Sales Pitch (tm). At some point in the last 30 years, the Democrats have become the Party of the Circus Side-Show Freak. If you are a white, middle-class, dues-paying member of the Democratic party, good luck if you ever find yourself in need of your esteemed senator or representative. But if you are black, female, coked to the gills, raising 14 kids fathered by 17 different men (none of whom you could pick out of police line-up), and on welfare to boot? The entire Democratic party leadership will leap to your defense if anyone dares to question your, um, "lifestyle choices." Not that Uncle George has the moral high ground with his policy of inviting the entire Mexican nation into our borders. Or, at least the criminals, drug smugglers, and retards. Smart, education Mexicans want nothing to do with the US. (shrug) I barely found a reason to waste my time voting in the last presidential election. Now that the Libertarian Party seems to have completed its implosion, I doubt I will bother for the next one.

That's it.
