• POLITICS! FROM KIM!! (Well, sort of…) Watching the Presidential debate tonight (Kerry spanks Bush) my mind kept wandering, mostly during the Bush speaking parts, and I think that is survival instinct on my behalf to keep my blood pressure down. However, after the first few minutes it was clear that I could watch AND listen, since he was digging his own hole, sniffing around in it like the dog he is, and hunkering down in it for the night. But my mind did continue to wander back to the same question, based on the Republican Party’s entire campaign of “September 11 – Vote for Bush” mindtwister. Here’s where my mind kept going: What if September 11th had actually happened on October 4th? Would everyone be going around saying “10-4?” Would the Republicans be coining “10-4 good buddy, Bush, over and out” or some other cockamamie thing? Would the war on terror be conducted like a trucker convoy? Would cb radios be the new vogue (aren’t they really anyway)? Would we be asking “Terrorists: What’s their 20?” (That means where are they.) I think I may be revealing way too much of my knowledge of cb radio-speak and culture here, so I may just have to let you imagine the rest. And I don’t mean to be disrespectful of the REAL 9/11 here. I mean, my mind just wanders and wonders. Over.

  And by the way, are our troops really “fighting vociferously” as President Bush claims? Are they yelling and screaming or debating the insurgents? Or perhaps because the troops aren’t equipped properly they’re having to fake their arsenals like a Batman episode (“Bam!” “Ka-Pow!”). What word do you think he was searching for? Viciously? Voraciously? (Are they hungry? Well read?) Hmmm…nu-cu-ler…

  I don’t feel so bad about voting for the Not-Bush after tonight.
