Don't you have better things to do? Or at least another obsession?

BTW, if you're interested in reading something about HC that isn't just the typical Limbaugh character assassination and stupid-ass name-calling, try this... Keep in mind that Corning, NY is big Republican territory.

I like underdogs :-)

Dodd would do a better job as Pres.
But, Bloomburg is going to jump in and probably wind up with the nomination

It is an interesting year for a Presidential race to say the least. First woman president a possibility. First black president a possibility. First Mormon for a president the same. Maybe a second president from Hope, Arkansas, except this one's a Republican which the old boy institutional Republicans with all the money don't wish to recognize. Maybe John McCain who's getting up there in age. First Italian a possibility and probably most Italian-Americans would give him their vote. And then there's Ron Paul. It will be interesting to see how the vote turns out for him in New Hampshire, as that state could have more libertarians than any other.

I too liked Dodd. Biden even more. But if per chance Hillary is the next president, she'll do right by its people and restore the country's reputation in world affairs.

Yesterday, moderate Republican columnist for the NY Times and a regular pundit on the Lehrer News Hour gave some kudos to Dodd and Biden. When asked why they didn't do better, he blamed it on the media for not giving them more coverage. My thought was, why had he waited so long to make the point which has probably been obvious to most of us.

Speaking of non-media coverage - Fred Thompson did pretty darn good.

I would sure like to see him (Thompson) get fully involved, I think a ticket with his name on it would be great for this country. Too me, he is about the best possible candidate, and would most definitely get my vote.

On a different note, It rained here almost all day, until about 4:00 PM and it started last night-early this morning about 4:00 AM and dumped about 1 and 3/4 inches of wet stuff on the valley floor, an all time record breaker for the day and maybe for the whole life of being recorded. Then it started SNOWING and at 6:39 PM, I NOW have 7 inches of white stuff with it tracking to continue until about 4 PM tomorrow, and the snow will be about 3-5 inches per hour most of that time. I-80 is closed right now, and may remain that way until late tomorrow at the state line into CA. THe winds here were over the crest tracked at 147 MPH per hour in gusts and down here in the higher valleys it was pretty constant at about 67-85 MPH. I sit about 1200 feet higher and 17 miles from the confines of Reno and Reno is at 4200 feet altitude. I am not going anywhere soon this weekend. It is totally white out side right now and still snowing. Can't find my car, except for the lump in the snow.

Claudia, I got the other side of it over here in Stockton. Trees were going down big ol' gusts and rain going sideways. Reminded me of Oregon. I was a little on edge since I spent Tuesday and Wednesday building the cheapest yard shed I could find. It held but I think that it was mostly due to the fact that I tucked it in a corner and the wind was forced over it. Guys behind us had a tree come down on their pool house (I think it's a pool house, could be a pot shed). It's calm over here right now.

well, I am on battery now because the power just went out at 9:38 PM. I am gonna turn this thing off in a few minutes, don't want to run it down, cause don't know how long it'll be until power comes back on. Got oil lamps and radio on and am comfortable and temps won't go too low tonight, but....... so see you guys all later after the power comes back up. Last time it was out the 1st or 2nd week of Dec, it was 9 1/2 hours later that it came back on line.

Later folks...............

Fred Thompson has strong ties with the American Enterprise Institute, the wonderfull thinktank that brought you Iraq, a declining dollar and over 9 trillion in debt.

Can I vote too please?

We rarely have electricity dropouts here, but it rarely storms hard enough and I think we have a tightly interconnected grid as it is a densely populated area.
Some weeks ago a chopper hit some powerlines in the North that caused lots of trouble over there though.

From the NH primary:

Surprise!

*********************

I have heard Obama's name enough in the past few weeks to make me totally sick of hearing it. Is every news station in the country singing his praises and predicting his presidency, albeit some to a lesser degree than others?

Although the media would like to make it seem as if the election is already won, as you can see from tonight, there is no set leader yet, and it is way too early for there to be one.

There is still a lot of time for people to be swayed either way. Even people who vote one way tonight, might vote a different way in a few months.

I'd have voted one way last week, but am now leaning in another direction. I am still researching my options.

********************

I hate election year.

I like elections, but I hate the hype that goes with it.

Now, I think I will go about my business of watching and talking about something totally different.

It's a "Ross Perot" year again. Perot is backing Ron Paul for a three-way race. Which will mean another Clinton in the White House.

Can't we break this cycle - 2 term clinton, two term bush - let's get somebody else! Somebody with some common sense that isn't going to tote the party-line.

Can I volunteer, or do you have to get drafted? Vote for me and I will level the playing field and get you free ISBN's (same as Canada). I also promise to freeze Publish America's assets and have the Attorney General declare Wilhem Meiners persona non grata after we deport him.

Joyce is the boss. I can't do anything about it. It's not my fault that the women have the upper hand. Can I still have the job?
