Not-So-Random Thought
Doncha hate that moment of panic when you glance at your watch — before you realize you’re looking at the second hand, not the minute hand?
Blown Away
…you know how you go into the next room with some idea in mind, and when you get there, you can’t remember what it was, so you go back out, and you still can’t remember what it was? That’s Debby all over. She went into a tiny storm shelter below her garage the other day, just for a few minutes, and when she climbed back out, her entire house was gone. Anybody could relate.
My friend Murr can write. Boy, can she write! And she’s funny as hell, and has a heart as big as a pile of elephant poop. Click on the link. Read her blog. Then buy one of the shirts. Buy one for your spouse, kids and friends. Buy extras.
You get to feel good about yourself, and help a deserving lady too.
Read Murr’s blog now. Then buy. Then go to Julie’s site, click on the button, and donate. Debby needs a new pair of shoes, and socks, and — you name it.

Iran Returns to the Global Stage — StratFor
After a three-month hiatus, Iran seems set to re-emerge near the top of the U.S. agenda. Last week, the Iranian government congratulated U.S. President-elect Barack Obama on his Nov. 4 electoral victory. This marks the first time since the Iranian Revolution that such greetings have been sent.
While it seems trivial, the gesture is quite significant. MORE…

The vanishing Republican
If you voted for John McCain Tuesday, you may not be long for this world.
That is neither a prediction nor a curse and certainly not a wish. Indeed, may you all live long, healthy and happy lives.
It’s just straight-out demographics, and a punchy gimmick to illustrate how deep is the pit into which the Republican Party has fallen.
Oh, the party will and should survive. It is the political vehicle for people who need one.
But it’s in trouble, and the likelihood that McCain voters are closer to the end of their days is one reason. According to the exit polls, the people who voted for John McCain Tuesday were richer, whiter (meaning, in a political context, non-Hispanic whiter. Or white/ Anglo-er), more rural, more religious, and less educated.
Oh, and older.
There is nothing wrong with being any of those things. I am a few myself. It’s just that every year a smaller percentage of the electorate falls into any one of those categories, much less all of them.
