Haines His Way

I'm heading down now to check the mail and then start fixing lunch.

WBBL.

She creeps me out. But some feminists are supporting her, I hear? I cannot think why.

I cannot speak for all feminists, only for myself. I have always tried to support other women who try to get ahead, break new ground, etc. There have been a couple times, however, when I felt I simply could not support someone, despite my desire to see women get ahead. Ms Palin is one of them; her views and mine are just too opposed. I have heard quite a few women interviewed who, IMHO, identify so strongly on gender alone that nothing else seems to matter. It's one thing to say, "I support her views," but in many of the interviews that wasn't what I was hearing; it seemed to be predominantly a gender issue.

Others may disagree; this is just my take on it.

Yes, I saw that, Jose.

Must take care of some other business.

TTFN.

Saturday just-barely-morning greetings!  I slept quite late today and will post this before the clock strikes noon.

Lucky you. I woke up at 4:30 a.m. when my son opened the back door to let the cat out and the door alarm went off.

Roomba had been malfunctioning last week and I just yesterday remembered the little bearings come off of the rotating brushes (brushes?  did you say brushes?  yes, rotating brushes--almost a Monty Python reference), and I found the posts under the bearings tangled with doghair.  Little Roomba is a happy robot now and no longer giving error messages.

Little Roomba is stuck in the corner of my office.  He/she is fun to watch.

You are as easily amused as I am.

However, I am *not* easily assimilated, as any of my relatives can tell you.  

Perhaps today's Topic of The Day should really be about the late Paul Newman's films.

Here's the email I got:

Bill Moyers is doing a poll on his PBS site asking, 'Is Sarah Palin qualified to be president?'  As you will see, right wing interests are packing the poll.  Would you take a moment to do this URL and register your vote?

If you can pass it along to friends who would be able to vote, it would help.  We'd like to take away a Palin talking point from the right, if possible.

Well, at 49% to 49% I don't think Mr. Moyer will get much from this poll.

Well, maybe a lot of the 49% for her are waiting to see if she shoots herself in the foot during her debate. It was nice to hear Mr Biden's comments after the debate last night, but I notice they're keeping Mrs Palin out of site for the nonce. I'm sure she's being programed after her Katie Couric interview.

This has been a bad week for electical applainces in Chateu de le Vixter


Dishwasher: only running wash cycle... rinse cycle appears to be kaput


microwave: deader than a doornail


dryer: more of a dampner


computer: keeps shutting down

Oh my, that is too much at once.  I'm guessing the dryer & computer take priority for repairs.

Interesting & terribly frightening.  As of today I would rather have McCain & Biden.  

I'm with Cilla in my dislike for Obama, something about him scares me.  For months I've been telling Keith I'm writing in Ron Paul, at least he understands the economic situation.

Honestly, I don't know how I'm going to vote.

Since the Bush administration has terrified me for the past 8 years and both McCain and Palin terrify me more, especially everything she represents whether or not you think it won't be a part of the agenda from those nominating her, I see nothing terrifying about Mr Obama at all. I certainly see him behaving better before the leaders of the world than the Palins.

Dixie Bell and I send big, ol' DD vibes to Danise on the loss of Bear.
