our world is enlightening.

wamu- seized by govt, bought by jp morgan.

that was my bank. quite unsettling although i know everyone says its nothing to worry over.

what is this world heading towards?

really, i shudder to think!

mccain's attempt to POSTPONE + bail-out of debate due to his supposed concern with economy.


McCain Halts Campaign Due to Economy


barack obama vs john mccain debate.

watched it in full. amazed at the inability for mccain to speak without stuttering, shifting, floundering, and waffling with his words, and body movements. was not very convicing and rather pathetic. he also used a sympathy tactic to get voters in regard to veterans and men of military service. this rather turned me off and it was so obvious it was and is a tactic.

the more he brags of his military service and patriotic spirit- the more desperate and pathetic he looks. im tired of him bragging of this and his use of the word 'maverick' on himself when its nothing more than a big fucking joke. he also never makes his point clearly. his answers always vague- he stumbles, rambles, never directly answering questions, wandering all over the place.

unlike mccain, obama had focused replies that answered what was asked and explained. mccain had answers without real solutions and as always was wishy washy in every sense of the word.

some of the stories he used and jokes ive heard so many times, that im tired of hearing it. no wonder he wanted to cancel, he is unable to come up with any new material. pathetic. had to hear the story of woman who gave military bracelet to him a year ago, AGAIN and also about how he hasn't been "miss congeniality" and is firm/aggressive. but all i see is a very wishy washy contradictive floundering fish, who is not decisive at all and doesn't know what he is talking about half the time + has little interest in the welfare of the average american . patriotism and american pride, to me , SHOULD involve caring about your neighbor, helping less fortunate, banding together. a whole group of people united is stronger than one person standing. it's called love thy neighbor as yourself.

mccain often resorted to low cuts to obama. while obama was honorable, respectable towards him. he made himself look so bad by doing this.

at one point, you could see mccain stewing, shifting uncomfortably and with humiliation because all the things obama said were said with calmness and strength. obama's strength is not reacting and not attacking no matter how spiteful the other opponent is. that is something to be admired.

mccain ended up looking mighty petty in my eyes and everyone else i know who's seen the debate, in my real life. obama was actually able to respond to mccain with honor and dignity and put him in his place without humiliation and low tactics of typical dirty politics.

i was disappointed that mccain seemed to detract the whole debate with his inability to stay focused and directly answer questions and often found myself restless and frustrated that he was not getting to the point or answering the question adequately enough.

i wanted to hear about mccains' choice of palin for VP when she supported earmarks which he cut down obama for doing and said he strongly opposed and voted against. what a fking hypocrite, he picked palin who obviously abused earmarks in the past and did it happily.

i won't go into how much of a joke i think palin is either just ive never seen a person [woman or man] so idiotic and moronic [ie katie couric's interview and charles gibson- palin: "i can see russia from my house/backyard?"]

you've got to be fucking kidding me!! this is who people want to run the US if the president dies. she is beyond stupid and airheadish and ignorant. she could actually be the equivalent of george bush now that i think about it who is about as smart as a donkey. ok, nuff said!

honestly, i don't get how anyone can actually want to vote for someone so unbelievably wishy-washy + vague. mccain picked his match in brainsmarts. palin and him have the size of a 'pea' in their heads. no joke.

i look forward to thursday's palin vs biden debate. i think he is going to annihilate her - our DVD-R is already set to record. i simply cannot wait!

yesterday's today show + brush with fame.

Jimmy was on the Today show when Matt lauer and Al Roker were at Univ. of Tampa where he works so he recorded it at home and we are going to save it. He was all excited becos he is in the crowd. It was funny cos he had to pause it before I could even see him but it totally is a good view of him and its obvious its him if you pause the film :)

He was hoping Obama would have a secret interview but it didnt turn out the way.

Earlier in the daytime, Jimmy had written me about the excitement of the today show filming and seeing some of it early this morning. he left an hr early to try to be there, before work! This was his email to me today!

Hi Babe,


Obama wasn’t here. There was a rumor going around all morning that he was going to be here and that “someone” was supposed to make a special appearance at 8:30am, but nobody showed. The show started at 7:00am, but I didn’t get here until almost 7:30am. I did manage to work my way into a few spots behind where they were filming, so I may have made it on TV once or twice if you can see me behind the big signs that were blocking my view. Debbie and Lynne definitely made it on because they were up front and got phone calls from family that saw them on the show. I took a few pictures of Matt Lauer and Al Roker, and Matt asked me how I was doing when he walked by. Not my biggest celebrity moment, but all of the ladies were swooning over him and getting his autograph. A Tampa politician, Bob Buckhorn, introduced himself to me and shook my hand…maybe because I was wearing my Obama button and he knew a few older ladies in Obama shirts that were standing by me.


Jimmy also got this handout flyer at the university that we both found highly amusing and funny. I couldnt help but scan it so I could share with others. I love the little dinosaur I must admit.

I titled the photo file on my computer as 'he's a dinosaur of a man' then uploaded it on my photo account. check it out :DI don't know if anyone has heard but its all over news about McCain trying to cancel tomorrows much anticipated debate with Obama which we had set to record on our DVD-r. Personally I think it is a crock and its obvious he is stalling. His ratings have gone considerably down in the past few days and accdg to polls, Obama is more favored based on various news report, cnn news and articles i have read online in the past two days. I think its suspect as to why he is asking for a postponement. Obama has spoken live just recently and he wishes to go on. I wonder what the outcome will be. This political year sure is heated and full ot twists and turns. I think this is one to watch, and will be monumental to USA's history- for sure.




ps i am still not back to normal or recovered from illness. its been hard to eat the last few days and ive even given up soda. only drink gatorade or water which is hard for me since i am a total coca cola addict and need caffeine. sucks. my stomach still feels unsettled. it may take all week to feel better. sigh :/
