Two things to comment on. Well, three actually.

Item 1: President Bush stumped in our little town today. It was the same stump speech he gave on Friday in Cleveland. After a stop in Canton, Ohio this morning, he showed up here in Cambridge at about 2:15pm. Things would've been a bit better if we hadn't waited four hours in the rain before he came on. But, why complain? After all, the last time we had a sitting president visit was 1912. Yeesh, that's almost a century ago. Interestingly enough, John Kerry and John Edwards are speaking as I write this in Zanesville, Ohio, about 25 miles to the west. I'm not hearing anything different from the Democrats tonight than I heard at the Democratic Convention last week. I didn't buy into it the first time I heard it.

Item 2: I started ( or re-started ) my old job. I received my first paycheck today, which I promptly blew on pro-Bush propaganda and pornography. Actually, I just bought some stuff I needed from Wal-Mart. I can't stand going in there to buy things, but going to K-Mart just makes me depressed. And speaking of depressed, my old job makes me feel that way. Hopefully I can lose it soon in favor of the Time Warner Cable tech support gig.

Item 3: Read http://blamebush.typepad.com. I'm not sure of the author's true political leanings, but I don't care. This blog is funny as hell. Beware though- if you take politics so seriously that you can't laugh at yourself, this site will just make you go through your blood pressure medication quicker.

That is all!
