The best part of a Wednesday in 2008 is going onto Wonkette.com and reading the "Live blogging" segments for the Presidential debates and Primary concession/victory speeches.

My favorite excerpts from Obama's speech in IOWA after the Kentucky loss and awaiting for his Oregon win.......

10:12 — He's outside in Iowa, as we are now in the 2-month "warm season." This place is loaded now, because of the Farm Bill, which Obama supported so he could give this speech without feeling awkward.
10:13 — He says he has a really good-lookin' family and gives Michelle the bedroom eyes. This is the horniest speech ever.
10:14 — Oh look, he pays his respects to Ted Kennedy, who actually endorsed him. Unlike Hillary, Barack does not list the legislative work he has done with Kennedy, because that is rude. (Also because Barry has only been in the Senate for like -2 years.)

Love it! Wonkette.com cracks me up even when they are mocking some of my favorite people. Since moving I've lacked my daily dose of political junkie talk that you found at every corner and overpriced bar in the Beltway. So between email chains with Beltway friends and Wonkette I can feed my political addiction.

I think I've lost my touch.

I no longer have any desire to watch baseball. I see the Phillies on TV and I immediately turn the channel. Other than one glimpse of a clip from a Twinkies game in China, I've got nothing. I check the scores on average once a week in comparison to 2x a day. What's wrong with me?

People need to stop getting married for a few good reasons......

1. I'm broke and you getting married makes me even more broke.
2. Sappy crap makes me gag and I'm not a fan of gagging.
3. 85% of married people lose their zest of life that I knew when they weren't married.
4. I hate bridal/bachelorette parties....perhaps too many women "oh'ing and ah'ing" over linens.
5. No offense but I get five days of vacation/yr.....it is not vacation when I have to take those days and fly to some area in the middle of nowhere and pretend to enjoy myself when I'm the only single person in the congergation of 250.

One word - Elope and remember that you're still human and you still need to have fun (whether with spouse or not).
