So 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.)
