I am the ostrich

I've basically been depressed by the upcoming election and the incredible Yankee debacle that I witnessed last week so I haven't been posting. I'm still catching up on the sleep I missed by watching all of those 9 hour baseball games and I'm still trying to wrap my head around the idea that Boston is up 2 - 0 in the World Series. I'm also trying to wrap my head around the idea that GWB might actually win again and that about 50% of the country actually likes him and/or his job performance well enough to vote for him again. As Madeline Albright said on the Daily Show last night, "Voting for him legitimizes what happened in 2000."The latest news from Reuters puts GWB up by 3 points. What the fuck gives? Seriously, I'm acting like the current administration because I have just stopped reading my usual news sources and have buried my head in the proverbial sand because I just don't like anything that the newspapers are publishing. Not to say that I'm turning into a GWB myself, I will pay attention to reality again soon, I'm just waiting for election night and for the World Series to end. God helps us on November 3rd if Boston has won the World Series and GWB is our president for another 4 years. I might just take off from work for the rest of the week and drink Jim Beam all...day...long...
