It has been quite a night. I spent most of it in the Emergency Room at my local hospital. My friend fainted at work and we went there to get her checked out. That took hours and there were the usual assortment of people ranging from scary (man with bloody hand, totally drunk and raging) to very sick to kind of nice. The staff was excellent but it did take some time.

They had a TV there and I saw a few minutes of the debate tonight. I just cannot stand John McCain. He is so misleading. He answers selectively and at times does not answer the question at all. I noticed that he tended to bring the question back to what he wanted to say no matter what it was.

EXAMPLE: The question is about social security.
MCCAIN: Did you know Obama wants to raise taxes?

Dude. That is not the frigging question.

I found their takes on environment and energy interesting. McCain chose to focus on nuclear power and did not really answer the question very well. Obama did a little better but also focused on energy sources but broadened that to...solar, wind and nuclear power. More forms of alternative energy. I would like to remind both of them that their are bi-products in the use of nuclear energy as an energy source...nuclear waste and we will need to figure out what to do with that. Neither solar nor wind power have that as a problem.

I find one of the really important issues of this campaign to be universal health care and I thought that McCain distorted this a lot. Obama has this as a main component in his campaign and I think his plan is workable. McCain on the other hand plans on that $5000 payment while at the same time will implement a HIDDEN tax on our benefits. While this is not income tax it IS a form of taxation. I think that Obama is more straight forward in his presentation in McCain is pretty sneaky. America will feel it in their paycheck when McCain starts to tax benefits. So think...really think about who you want running the country.

As I said, I did not see most of it so this is really what I think of what I did see in the ER. Comments are welcome on what did transpire. Feel free to disagree.

Cheers.

I am back with some electoral analysis.

Why oh why can't the republicans pronounce the word nuclear. Here is the phonetic spelling of how they say it NUKULAR. Now I am sorry. With proliferation as it is and what is going on in the world, this is an important word. How can we have this in our next administration. It has gone on long enough. I say no more. No more NUKULAR weapons. NUCLEAR. They are NUCLEAR weapons.

AHHHHHHHHHHHH.

She is pretty much reiterating McCain. Kind of like a parrot. She listened and now she is repeating what he said only she does not look like a chipmunk.

Now you have to ask yourself when you look at the Vice Presidential candidate. Could this person take over for the President? What if the worst thing happens and the President goes down....is assasinated or gets sick. This person is going to stand in. Now I feel that Biden could do it. Palin...uhhh I am sorry. I don't think she fits the bill.

She is really putting it on thick here. "Change is a coming." Gah.

More later. I will edit this post so check back.

Fashionista style!

What is with that tie McCain is wearing? I mean rly. Those stripes are terrible and really distracting to the eye. Did he do that on purpose? So that we remember how bad that tie is? Some form of negative subliminal something? Horrible. I give this one to Obama. *His* tie is classic, red, power tie and elegantly worn. His suit fits better and he is more photogenic. I also kept thinking that McCain looks like a chipmunk with his cheeks full of acorns. He cannot help that though. I am shallow. I make no apologies.

Count on me to frame the issues with the important stuff. :P

You get it here first. Don't look anywhere else!
