surreality
I was out and about today and happened to witness firsthand the effect that Sarah Palin is already having on your average (i.e. witless) American voter. In this case, a woman who was a rabid Hillary supporter a few months ago, and in most respects a perfectly intelligent lady. She is firmly committed to voting McCain/Palin after last night's speech. I tried to engage her as much as possible without either of us flying off the handle, and my conclusion was that it was just about 50% personal, seething rage at Obama and 50% ebullience at seeing a woman get up on stage in that context and pull no punches.
I've taken solace for the past several days in the hope that people will see the smoke and mirrors for what they are. But... jesus, does that seem like a logical thing to hope for?
I have more to say on this, but I'm trying to get to sleep by 4 AM.


BWAHAHAHAHhahahahahahahah. Good for him.
