So, I’m cautiously optimistic:
1. With the overlookable exception of geriatric GOP posterboy Bob Novak, the general concensus seems to be that Kerry had an edge in last night’s debate. Personally, I couldn’t watch it–I would have been holding my breath for the entire thing, and honey, I ain’t Flipper–but I have it on good authority that Mr. Heinz done good. Now if someone could just steer him away from the snowboarding and windsurfing and fake-bake tanning salons, we just might get back on track.
2. The Federal Marriage Amendment tanked in the House yesterday. I’m sure we haven’t heard the last of Ralph and Don and their flying monkey minions–not by a longshot–but hopefully, they’ve been grounded for a while. Why don’t you see how your Representative voted, then send ’em a note either thanking them or condemning them for their position on this divisive, distracting issue?
3. Fuck Cheerios: I woke up singing “Never Say Never”. I don’t know if I was dreaming about Debora Iyall or my junior high foibles or something more erotic, but it was a damn good way to start what’s going to be a very long day.
