Keep doing that. Whether you posit Papal designs on your dogs, or that the President has an effect on markets-it's all good to us. We understand that Ms. Palin speaks in tongues; we are big fans of political trance, so please follow up on that.

I asked a co-worker what she thought of teh state of affairs a few days after the conventions were over. She said, "Oh, the telenovela?" I think that's the best one-word description I've heard so far. I mean, if you tried to write this whole election plot-line, with all it's characters, twists and subplots, into anything, no one would ever think it was believable!

Okay, yes, little things change, but life as we know it will be exactly the same no matter who wins the election. Yet, my friends are practically getting into knife fights over this election. I won't even watch the news anymore. I prefer the Saturday Night Live version of the election...can't we just laugh at everyone?Rebecca K.
