I believe the only way to beat this stupid cold is a self-imposed quarantine. No contact until everyone is de-germed, I say. Sheets are to be changed and everything will be disinfected. No one who is coughing, sneezing, watery-eyed, or sniffley will be allowed to enter the downstairs of the barn until futher notice.
One week from today and midterms are finished. No more ads on television. No more political commentary about offensive ads that have been pulled but get played over and over again so everyone can see them and talk about how offensive they are. No more celebrity endorsements from either side be it Michael J Fox or everyone's favorite post-9/11 mayor Giuliani (can you believe Giuliani's doing a DeVos ad? It reminded me how much I disliked him pre-9/11). No more wondering when Karl Rove is going to unleash the hounds. No more paranoia about whether or not Rove has already unleashed the hounds and those hounds are actually polls that he's somehow manipulated lulling the Democrats into a false sense of security and allowing the Republicans to eek out a win not only securing the Evil Genius Legacy of Rove but also pulling off the biggest upset since 1994 because how that party can hold onto power given the gross negligence it has displayed the past 6 years is virtually unfathomable.
My mental health needs this election season to be over.
Anyone from Michigan who wants to look at their ballot and get links to candidates and non-partisan information regarding proposals go to publius.org. It really is helpful.
I could go on and on about Flags of Our Fathers and discuss the muddled mess of a script, the convoluted message of heroism, and the so subtle directing it seemed as if no one directed it. But I won't. Go see it. Really. It's a sad story and despite it's flaws I think it's worth watching on the big screen. And yes, the opening battle sequences are all Saving Private Ryaned out. Get over it. I don't know if anyone remembers, but war is hell. The least we can do is sit through a 20 minute battle scene that illustrates that.
