On behalf of myself, welcome to the Friday before the election. Last night I did some phone banking where we called residents about Issue 112, the Cleveland school levy. It was interesting to hear what some people had to say, but I doubt I convinced anyone to vote for it. I got two people to accept a yard sign though. The best comment I got went something like this:
Me: So can I count on your support for Issue 112 in the upcoming election?
Her: Fat chance! I own a house. Bye! *click*
I can’t blame her though, it is a property tax increase, the first school related increase in over 8 years, and the ward I was calling is extremely poor.
Just when I thought I’d seen the end of the Bush wearing a wire conspiracy, some evidence surfaces that seems to make it pretty obvious. Take a look for yourself, and read the article for Bush’s recent comment on Good Morning America. I know that if Bush is re-elected, we’ll never hear anything about this again. Still, I can’t help but hope that after he’s defeated the media will continue their consistently juvenille behavior and mock him in a big way. Perhaps that’s an example of something today’s media might actually be good for.
Most news right now is in the shadow of the election, regardless of importance. Yet I have a feeling that, after the election, the dire situation the airlines are facing due to rising fuel costs will become a prominent story. “It’s like they’re all treading water, but they’ve got 100 pound weights around their necks,” said airline consultant Robert W. Mann of Port Washington, N.Y. “You can only do it for so long.”
Americans are getting way fatter, especially when you compare us to the 1960’s versions of ourselves. The average man’s weight rose from 166 lbs. to 191 lbs.!
Bill O’Reilly has settled his sexual harassment suit confidentially. I don’t think I’m alone when I say, “dammit”. Then again, when it comes to debunking right-wing media personalities, Rush Limbaugh was already exposed as a total druggie, and that didn’t make much of an impact. Still, this is one guy whose voice America could do without.
These Halloween costumes are hysterical!
