"John McCain and Sarah Palin... they call this socialistic. You know I don’t know when, when they decided they wanted to make a virtue out of selfishness."
- Obama on higher taxes
Ah, the virtue of higher taxes... the selfishness of keeping your own stuff... down the rabbit hole we go. I don't believe that any of this crap will happen (raising taxes, personal and cap gains) in the middle of a gut-aching recession, but we'll see.

My favorite description of Obama, here the day before the election, is "cipher". It's sort of a misnomer, and maybe enigma would be better, or unknown. I don't know. I mean the media, after all this time, digs up Obama's aunt this weekend and she's living in the projects in Boston, an illegal alien. Obama's take: I think he shrugged. Maybe he's a cipher to himself. He he.

I have a couple of browser tabs of ridiculous media bias and shenanigans. Fuck it. www.newsbusters.org does a good job. Does this election establish a new, unreachable low for media coverage? A bottom? It's hard to imagine that this isn't as low as we'll go, but who knows?

On a positive note, great idea from Kim39 to take Ty with me when I vote tomorrow. I prefer to vote early before any lines, but it is a great idea. Ty's the perfect age (nine) for something like this. Tomorrow's votes:
  • Prez: Palin/McCain... I'll be searching for the option where Palin is at the top of the ticket, he he
  • Senate: not Dick Durbin... there's no greater testimonial for term limits, that Durbin can trash our army guys in the middle of a war and still breeze to reelection
  • Congress: not Judy Biggert... term limits faker
Book: "Night of Thunder" by Stephen Hunter
Review: 1 bill-star
Website: www.stephenhunter.net

I got this book as light reading for my CA trip. The cover said it was a thriller with Nascar as a backdrop. OK, that sounds like the flipping definition of "light".

Ay carumba! The book was a little too light. It was slow and boring and 2-D. Half full: I read it very quickly. He he.

That makes two 1 bill-star books over vacation... that's gotta be a record. Onward and upward.
crash... yow, bill
