What we do without you? I'm exhausted after a week of long hours so it is out of the question to go anywhere tonight. But there you are with things that are on television! I may not stay awake for all of it, but I'm making a date with my new flatscreen.
It's not a school night, so you don't have a curfew on uour flat screen. Enjoy. - editor
Just watched some Rachel Maddow b4 going to Levitt. She showed Mittens and Ryan the running mate at USS Wisconsin battleship when they announced. Pointed out neither one was ever in military despite being of correct ages when US was at war. Looks like a Bush rerun with militarist politicians who never wore the uniform. Scares me plenty. Know you like politics and irony.
