Heater Revisited

Last year I told y'all about buying a heater in an effort to bring down my gas bill. Turned out the heater didn't do what it was supposed to do. Was very surprised by this because everyone on Amazon had raved it warms up rooms in no time. But when it got down to 30 degrees a few nights ago, I decided to break out the ol' heater to give it another try. It has a thermostat so I cranked it up to the maximum which is something I hadn't done before. The heater now works like a champ. The room warms up very fast & the heat emitted is not dry at all. I absolutely love this heater now. Let's hope I'll still love it when my electric bill comes.

What's annoying me today: Why does Cindy McSame feel it necessary to stand right behind her husband so that she's always captured in the picture? All she does is stupidly nod & smile in agreement with McSame even when he has freudian slips. Maybe it's time you moved off to the side Cindy. Don't confirm for us what we already know.

Colin Powell Endorses Senator Obama

Thought the lead up to his endorsement of Barack Obama was fantastic! The highlight was when he addressed the Obama-is-a-muslim talk by the GOP. . . "What if he was?" Finally someone with the balls to stand up for muslims in this country. Based on this endorsement speech, his presentation at the U.N. for why the U.S. should invade Iraq is fast becoming a very hazy memory!

Movie Reviews

"Body of Lies" - The plot was good but the ending was horrendous. Skip it!

"Traitor" - Interesting . . . but you'll feel like you've seen it before. OK.

Obama Rally

Barack was in Columbus for a rally this afternoon & yours truly was front & center. People were very fired up. However, even though the venue was in a park, it was rather small for the crowd that showed up. They had roped off a large section of the park for security purposes so everyone was forced into one area. But the atmosphere & weather was fantastic so all was forgiven. The highlight though was when we were leaving. A truck was stuck in traffic right by the venue & guess what was printed all over it . . . "McCain/Palin!" The people on the streets of downtown Columbus went bananas. We started chanting, "O-ba-ma"..."O-ba-ma." People even started honking their horns to the beat of our chants. The poor guy driving the truck took it all in stride. Was waving & smiling at us the entire time. It was great! Obama/Biden '08.

Free cable t.v.!

I was telling my brother-in-law about how I had disconnected my cable. He asked me if my t.v. was still able to receive the local channels - NBC, CBS, FOX, ABC. Told him I'd tried but got no reception. Then he asked me the 'duh' question of the day. . . "have you connected the cable wire to your t.v.?" Long story short, I am now happily receiving 80+ crystal clear channels of cable t.v. for free!

Fall Break!

It's about time. No school or work for one week. I tried making it through the v.p. debate last night but kept muting out Palin. She's was just too cutesy for me with all her winking, joe six pack, & hockey mom references. The thought of going through this kind of nonsense for the next 4 years is . . . indescribable. Obama/Biden '08!
