Nice handbasket we’re in, isn’t it? September 24, 2008 ~ 8:12 pm
Posted by Julie in : Politically Incorrect , trackbackSo the country is edging down the bumpy road to hell (those good intentions are murder on the suspension) and we’re staring down a possible Great Depression that could start as soon as Monday, according to John McCain. Since my birthday is Tuesday, I think John is trying to get me a birthday present, but dude? I’d much rather have an iTunes gift card or a pair of Dansko Stapled Clogs. A Depression is just too much excitement for me. I’m gonna be 31, I don’t think I can take that kind of excitement.
Ooh, but one good present that John McCain and Sarah Palin are giving me? This whole flip-flopping thing! You guys, the fact that you can’t get your stories straight on anything, and you’re trying to cause a panic with my birthday present are making my boy Barack look like a rockstar! “We shouldn’t have a debate, we should work on getting this whole crisis figured out!” McCain squeals like a little girl. And then Barack comes in and says calmly “Oh, I think we can do that and still have a debate. Because I can walk and chew gum at the same time, and also solve the country’s problems,” like President Bartlett on West Wing. That’s what I’m talking about. Poll bounce, my real birthday present.
Speaking of, my mom got me a very nice birthday present. She got Steelers tickets for Monday night for us. That’s right, people, when you tune in for Monday Night Football, Steelers vs. Ravens, I will be there. This means we are leaving for Pittsburgh on Friday and blog posting may be sporadic. Much like it is now anyways because I am lazy and playing Molehill Empire instead of writing. Oh, wait, I meant because I am thinking deep thoughts about the upcoming Great Depression. Yeah, that’s the ticket.
ETA: This. Letterman’s rants about McCain suspending his campaign over the economy. I love Dave. (YouTube might pull it, not sure how the Late Show advances got out.)

A “poll bounce” for a birthday present - WOOHOO!
I’ve already ranted about this at my place. I got a kick out of McCain’s lame ploy to postpone the debate. So, if he’s Prez, and some major crisis comes up, is he going to ignore all the other things the Prez has to worry about because of it? Doesnt’ the job of President require you to be able to juggle many balls at one time? And keep the business of the country moving even as you deal with crises? Sometimes several going on at once?
Happy Barackthday, Julie.
You definitely made out getting a poll bounce for your birthday! I got a economy crisis and a God awful first interview from old Mooseburger for my 35th last Friday.
I see McSlime is going to show up for the debate after all - go figure. Are people really dumb enough to think his “concern for America” is real??? Give me a break!
Anyway…
Happy Birthday Girl!
Shit, here in GA it’s already starting. Try waiting in line for 30 minutes plus just to fuel up your car, and that’s after driving all over town to find a place that even had fuel. From my side of the country, it’s not looking so great.
But.. in happier news.. You have a birthday gift heading your way. Should be delivered sometime this week.
Keep your eyes peeled!
Enjoy the Stillers game
I’ll be watching for ya in the stands!
Happy Birthday Julie!
Seriously -what size is your foot? I have a pair of stapled clogs that I haven’t been able to wear since I was pregnant… they’re like new.
Hope you guys enjoyed the game!
Happy Birthday, Sweetie! Now, update your links ’cause I got a new blogspot.
I missed your birthday because I went over to watch Letterman and just, well, never made it back! Hope you had a great one!
