Prize Winner/Political Junkie

Thank you all so much to those who played along with my goofy guessing game. I appreciate the laughs and some of my favorite guesses were "bird flying overhead", (yes, Sara, waaaaay off) to squished caterpiller or moth, ugh. Oil stain was a good one too, so Thank you for your participation. I'm pleased to announce our Winner...

Congratulations to KCCat, who correctly guessed "Old gum". She was our First Runner Up but will receive the prize as the First Winner, Liam, declined it. (I guess Lavender or Tuberose Organic Shower gel doesn't appeal to him? My first male commentator btw.) Liam guessed the right answer within one minute of me posting. How creepy is that? Anyway, I'm delighted to announce our Winner, KCCat and again, thanks for your participation. (I feel a little like Ed McMahon and The Publisher's Clearinghouse Sweepstakes, except of course, my Beverly Hills Mansion is Not in foreclosure.) Disclaimer- I Do Not Live Anywhere Near B.H., like 30 miles away and on the other side of the "Hill". (Santa Monica Mountains) (Like my reverting into Valley girl talk? It's a second language or maybe my third after Brooklynese.)

I don't know if anyone is paying attention to the US Presidential Campaign, but regardless of your political bent or where you live, these are some crazy times in US History. I used to consider myself somewhat apolitical as most Buddhists do, but now, I'm a Political Junkie, clicking on cnn or google news to get my fix multiple times a day. I will be so totally bummed if the first Presidential Debate does not go on tomorrow as scheduled. I think that would be a Huge Mistake for the Republicans, but last time I checked, the McCain and Palin campaign advisors weren't calling me for my woman on the street opinion. (Actually woman in the Burbs). Neither is Obama's campaign, but sounds like "It's Game On" for the Democrats. Anybody else looking forward to November 5th so we can get back to our regularly scheduled country? That's assuming there is a clear winner, if not, it could be Thanksgiving until we know who takes home the Prize of the US Presidency.

Here's wishing you a winning day to you and yours. Thanks for clicking over.

SOMETHING will happen tomorrow night... If McCain decides to be a no-show, Obama is going to have a national audience for a town-hall meeting.

The whole presidential race is crazy! I'm trying to keep up to date on it, but it's proving to be impossible.

Obama has said the debate should go on. Craig Ferguson (the late night talk show host) had a brilliant take on the whole delay of the campaign (I have the clip on my blog).

I love politics but I am getting tired of this.
Remember people that Obama said "no" to McCain's suggestion of several town hall meetings and now he wants to accuse McCain of avoiding a debate. Um...at least we can say one thing...McCain is showing up to do the job he was elected to do. We are in a crisis and we need our elected officials to put their country and their real jobs first (for at least a couple of days.) Obama thinks he can get his senator's salary (tax payer money) by not showing up or voting "present" when he does. He is in effect getting paid (again with our money) to campaign. Brilliant.
I am looking forward to when this over!
