...and glad to be here, although I miss Oregon, where our condo, son and his family, and others did such a marvelous job keeping us happy, along with real summer temps and a swimming pool a full 30 second walk away. Heard we missed no Alaskan summer, as there apparently was none.
I moved to half-time teaching and my wife already says it's made me a more "live-with-able" man. So, I hope to devote more time and effort to things like the blog, which may be good or bad for my small band of readers.
Wife Genie just got off the phone with DNSC (Democratic National Senatorial Committee). When the poor young kid working the phones there got through his pitch to give $100 to keep the likes of Sharon Angle from defeating Harry Reid in Nevada, or defeating the "abstinent witch princess of Delaware, Genie let him have it. It seems neither Scott McAdams nor Alaska was mentioned in the kid's donation pitch, which really pissed her off. "Why, she asked, should I give $100 to save Harry Reid's lame ass (my interpretation), when we have a viable senate candidate right her in Alaska, whom the DNSC has written off?" She then went on to tell the poor phone schlub to "Tell somebody at the DNSC!"
Truth is, while the national punditry has guessed that "Lisa M." mounting a write-in campaign is good for McAdams, because it "splits the GOP vote" with the tea-bagger Joe Miller, I disagree. In fact I know of people who called themselves "Republicans for Scott McAdams" who now are going back to Lisa. Lisa, as you know, is busy spending her $1 million media war chest on the gamble. We'll see how it plays out, but for what it's worth, our $$ stays instate.
Speaking of Harry Reid, his decision to postpone a tax-cut-for-the-middle-class-and-not-the-rich has me pissed and perplexed. I can't think of a single legislative accomplishment by this Congress that can better benefit the Dems going into November, particularly since the GOP has poisoned the minds of so many Americans on health care reform. I only hope our milk toast Mormon from Nevada can grow a pair similar to Nancy Pelosi's. If he gets re-elected.
Don't you, as I do in darker moments, think that maybe six years of Joe Miller, Sharon Angle and Christine O'Donnell is what this country needs, in order to finally get it?
