Say a prayer for the hardworking people who need a leader but get gamblers instead

So if I'm not posting or answering emails it is not a thing to panic over.
With a tiny touch of luck (which I've been missing lots of lately) the transition will be seamless and this will be a useless bit of advisory . . or whatever you'd call it.I have a busy weekend in front of me. Concert on Friday, USC vs Oregon on Saturday and then the big Dog Rescue walk on Sunday. So there'll be a lot to think about, to do and have fun with.
If the internet dies I'll miss you.
I watched the VP debate.
I was disappointed on one hand. Palin is a joke but she was on the safe side of embarrassing. I could use a laugh.
I was surprised I was so impressed and moved by Joe Biden.
My previous view of him was as a hack. Tonight he impressed me.
I was moved and impressed with all the stuff that everyone else was but what I liked the most that might get overlooked was when he spoke about maturing and changing in his views as he progressed and spent more time in office.
I didn't know about him losing his wife and daughter, maybe that led me to identify with him.
I didn't like that he wouldn't go along with gay marriage. I did like that he left that up to the decisions of the church, which leaves a tiny loop hole to recognize the feelings of people.
I don't like that Palin thinks that homosexuality is a life choice, like a life style.
I hated about her what you'd expect and I noticed everything that everyone else did - the cramming, speeches instead of answers.
I was just blindsided to discover that I like Joe Biden . . .
