Good weekend overall.

I'm back.

The weekend was overall pleasant with visits with family and friends. I packed a hella lot of visits into the weekend and now am feeling a bit out of it.

In other news, I had a date last night. Yes, I know, a date! Looks like we'll be going out again on Friday, I'll keep you posted if there is anything else to note.

Yes, Media is still in the picture. He may take a job transfer so I'm not sure what's next there. Yes, I am bummed.

Scully is coming to visit tomorrow and I am so excited!!!

Put up another 8 bags of peaches today (Amen, Garwood's Orchard) and five bags of various kinds of peppers. Yes, the freezer is almost full.

As for McCain's VP pick, I honestly could not be more surprised. When there is talk of 'baggage' of a candidate, I find it fascinating he picked one with her own baggage claim area. Very very very interesting. Oh, and the 17 year old's boyfriend looks like a Class A Charmer too.

If I hear one more discussion of PUMA I may start screaming. I was watching one of the news programs where this woman was going on and on about how the primary election was 'stolen' from Hillary. If I consult my Webster's dictionary for 'stolen election,' I don't find Hillary's face there, I find Al Gore, Florida and Supreme Court nonsense.

When I look at the platform of the Republican Party, I cannot fathom why anyone who once supported Hillary would say: "Hell with Barack, I'm going Republican." Seriously, is there one item on the Republican platform which says equality for all? What about abortion rights? What about gay marriage? What about the war in Iraq? What about health care? Sweet Mary Mother of God, I cannot get this. I have tried and tried.

I have never made any bones about the fact I supported Barack. But if things had gone differently, if it was not Barack up there accepting the nomination but it was Hillary, would you see me wearing a "Democrats for McCain" shirt? Would you see me joining PUMA? Would you see me staying home on election day?

No, No, No. For Fuck's Sake, People, get a Damn Grip. The only question one should be asking themselves is: "Am I prepared to accept another 4 years of a Bush presidency?"

Oh Hell No.

Rant over. To bed.
