We're watching election coverage. Surprised?
It appears that FauxNews has given up on election reporting and is rerunning Everybody Loves Raymond episodes.
On PBS the usual talking heads are pontificating. Cokie Roberts just gushed, "I just love a man in uniform." No, sorry. That was back in '03 when she was a cheerleader for the illegal invasion of Iraq. Yuck.
David Brooks was talking about "the old South" vs. "the new South", and the influx of Latinos as well as other people more likely to vote for the Democratic candidates. It occurs to me that one of the reasons for that influx is because the Republicans in power have so screwed over the workers in the industrial North (not to mention the faux-Democrats like Bill Clinton with his support of NAFTA) that there has been something of a migration South. I haven't heard anybody talk about this, so it might be completely harebrained. But isn't it interesting that the Republicans, in trying to rape working class America, actually may have shot themselves in the foot?

Cokie Roberts was on TV? She's the best!! Just kiddin'. (Is Cokie a nickname...or is that her real name? Is it true she was one of the orignial Boxcar Children?)
Still, it was cool to be on the Internet and be able to zero in on one county in say, Virginia. The internet was moving slowly last night with all the traffic. Or maybe it's 'cause I have a PC.
Get a Mac!
It actually wasn't Cokie Roberts that I saw. It was the other PBS woman, the one who is not Gwen Ifel.
