The Turning Point

Well, it seems as if your choices for President have now narrowed by one. I suppose you could still write her in but Hillary won't be seeing her own name printed on a ballot any time soon. I'm not sure how I feel about that yet. I've always said that I'm just waiting for the day when Hillary finally unzips her skin suit and reveals her true alien self while demanding that we all board the mother ship.

It was quite a lucky break for St. Paul to be the city Obama happened to be in when things were decided. Good thing we're right next to South Dakota otherwise Lambeau Field may have gotten it's time on CNN instead of the Xcel Center.

While watching his speech last night, I couldn't help but think how difficult it would be to NOT become narcissistic and/or egotistical when you have 20,000 people cheering your name while you're standing smack in the middle of them. I'm sure Obama will be heard to say how much of a normal, everyday person he is in the months to come but I bet last night he was thinking "Meeeeeeeeeee...they're all cheering for meeeeeeeeee!". It's been 54 months (okay, really only about 17 months) of non-stop traveling, handshaking, saying what you think others want to hear, shmoozing and retaliating which would be enough to drive anyone over the edge and it all ended with a scene out of Gladiator of a stadium filled with crazed people shouting your name. It's no wonder politicians are crazy. Speaking of crazy politicians, did anyone hear Jesse Jackson's phone interview on CNN last night? Whatever he was having, I'll have some of that right now. The man could barely speak clearly. Maybe they woke him out of a nice slumber.

Did anyone also catch the Three Stooges' show that was the CNN coverage of the goings on last night? They had two rows of political pundits spouting earth-shattering insights on the election, the speeches and prophesying about the future. After Obama's speech coverage, Anderson Cooper said that you just couldn't find three more different speeches (referring to McCain and Clinton also from earlier in the evening). You could if you included a Ku Klux Klan member. I'm just sayin'...it would be drastically different. And in other news, Hulk Hogan's son will remain in solitary confinement. If only we could get the rest of them in there too.
