I blame YouTube (A-ha Edition)
This would mark the first (and only) time I ever watched this video. Ground–breaking at the time, it was still an A-ha song. Oh, the hair of my youth…
Anecdotal breakfast story
This morning, I had a refrigerator full of fresh fruits and vegetables, a couple different types of that V8 Splash, some of that great Kashi Cinnamon Harvest cereal, and whole wheat bread, just waiting to be made into toast and covered in one of two flavors of all–natural strawberry or blackberry jelly.
For breakfast I had a cup of 20 Oreos covered in milk.
I don’t know how I’ve survived to be this old.
Wash for Obama
environment / politics / technology
Or McCain. Whatever.
What I want to know is, aren’t these backwards?

Sarah Palin on Glenn Beck
Glenn Beck can say he interviewed her back when. This is back from June, shilling like good little stooges discussing their talking points from their overlords in Big Oil™ sound energy policies.
And yes, like anything involving Alaska, they talk about Drilling ANWR:
Somehow, the wanton murder of thousands of moose didn’t get in the interview. You know why that is. BIAS. This interview reeks of the filth of moose hunting advocates.
Just once — once — I would love to see her pressed on this issue. But know, softball question after softball. Moose lovers demand answers! US out of Alaska! Now!
Meanwhile, back in character…
Like the question about the VeeP? I remember the whole vetting process, and summarily dismisser her because — because there wasn’t anything I could find that I hated about her. She was perfect, thus unelectable.
I’m glad I was wrong.
Chillaxin’
I don’t know what’s sadder:
1. That I know what that word means
2. That there’s a debate over whether to use the apostrophe or not
3. That I spelled it correctly the first time
This is what the smell of a freshly–dusted room does to me.
Now to rearrange the furniture!
Old, Really Smart, Old Guy
In the fine tradition of never–making–his–mind–ism, Larry has gone to using this “Old, , Old Guy” thing. What the casual reader will miss is that this is a play on something that happened years ago. Thought I’d bring those of you who forgot and those who just wondered what it was all about.
On the long–abandoned MacStansbury.org I put in a bunch of guest authors. Think of it as my first attempt at being a community organizer. Took a few of my dearest allies and chunked logins at ’em. Then, I made the mistake of giving them titles.
One such title was granted to our very own Larry. The title of “Old, Really Smart, Old Guy.” In retrospect, VP of Operations or COO would’ve been the wiser thing to do. But I went with the patronizing, and there you have it.
In his own deference to my titling, he just took out the good part.
And have I mentioned, he’s old?
I heart Sarah(cuda)
economics / environment / politics
Yeah, I know I’ve totally quit Obama–bashing long enough to be a total shill for Sarah Palin. Don’t expect that to change any time soon. I’ve got a fever, and the prescription is more moosebell!
And speaking of the music at the end of the Republican convention (he transitioned perfectly), Scandal!:
The Wilson sisters sent a cease and desist to McCain/Palin because they used “Barracuda” by Heart at the end of the RNC. It makes sense: For a rock musician, affiliation with a Republican campaign could be a career-ender. Whoops, too late!

The election is over
The people–over–40 vote has just officially been decided. And the mommy vote. And the grandparent vote. Although I think the deadbeat dad vote is still in play.
Nine seconds of video that touches even me, in the dark, bitter lump of coal where my heart should be.
ADDED: 37,244,000 watched Palin (about 1.1 million people less than Obama).
ADDEDER: Over 40 million (using PBS’ fuzzy math)
ALSO: Ahem…Sarah Palin (pause for applause)
What you people really want
Up to date local weather information. Expect to see about 800 new weather–related blogs in the next couple of minutes. Also expect this page to get some lovin‘.
Talking points
economics / environment / politics / security
Since I’m not feeling bloggy today, feel free to discus amongst yourselves.
- The Olympics (my take: boring)
- Russia is at war with Georgia
- The John Edwards affair now acknowledged by the media
- President Bush says to drill, price of oil plummets
- Political stunt becomes movement, Republicans stay in D.C
If anybody needs me, I’ll be watching NFL preseason football.
