"lost in a blizzard of words"
I can't help myself. I know you've probably all seen this by now, but I can't get over the absurdity of this interview. There's a youtube video, too, where Matt Damon compares this whole scenario to a really bad Disney movie: Hockey mom using her folksy ways to charm Vladimir Putin. Is this really America? Am I really not dreaming this? If he wanted to pick a woman, aren't there actually qualified Republican women out there? I have to believe deep in my heart that there are enough people in this country who can see this. At least see the looks on her face when she's clearly in over her head.

This evening's news says he doesn't know how to use e-mail. If he can't do that, what on earth does he know about the latest military equipment? Then the light bulb went on--he is nothing more than a puppet of the powers that be (shades of pre-Altzheimer Reagan), and while they can't manipulate him perhaps, they will be able to manipulate her, especially if that baby business isn't above board and she isn't squeaky clean. Unfortuantely, this is America. There was a professor from NYU on the Charlie Rose show this week who said the next 4 months will be critical for America vis-a-vis the world community, and if we don't get it right, we can perhaps kiss the American Republic bye-bye. George Washington to George W. I feel as though I am living in the middle of a horror movie--especially now with gas going up to over $5 a gallon. The only bright spot was reading Obama has the electoral votes.

We are living in a horror movie, y'all. The problem is that the movie is writing us instead of vice versa. If this isn't what Baudrillard and Eco meant by hyper-reality, I don't know what is.
I got the AARP magazine today, and it is supporting Obama; McCain decided not to bother to answer the questionnaire. Read the Liar, Liar, Pants on Fire article in today's NYTimes. Given the deliberate duplicity of McCain, it really would be four more years of Bush! He had the audacity to merely shrug his shoulders and give his sexiest(?) smile and say something to the effect that politicians are entitled to use exaggeration and hyperbole when challenged on The View.
