Yesterday was the first Monday in October,
and that means the Supreme Court is back in session . . . which should
give them plenty of time to deal with things that have piled up over
the summer before they have to decide the next Presidential election in
November.
Speaking of the election, the second Presidential Debate is tonight. Odds are it won't be nearly as funny as the Vice Presidential debates, but we can hope. And if that's not the "hope" that the Obama-Biden ticket offers, maybe it's the hope that McCain will actually show his legendary temper on stage. Don't get me wrong, I'd hate to see anything horrible happen to the man, but that's mostly because I think there are enough stupid people in this country to give Sarah Palin the sympathy vote if tragedy were to befall the man. That being said, how cool would it be if McCain exploded on stage? Not figuratively, but if he literally exploded. Two words, people: Awe and Some.
Then again, if McCain did explode on stage, he might win the election anyway, because really, how the hell do you follow that? Maybe that's why he wouldn't look at Senator Obama in the first debate . . . because he knew that to do so would make him blow up and he wants to save that for the final debate.
Of course, this hasn't kept the campaign itself from going up in flames like a cheap Halloween costume. As John McCain has already explained, when he says "fundamentals of the economy," he means "American workers." And today, with the Dow closing under 10,000 for the first time in years, I believe that the "fundamentals of the economy" are pissed. Or possibly despondent. Of course, before this election cycle, I was pretty sure that the "Fundamentals of the Economy" was a psychedelic acid-rock band from the early 70's.
And now the McCain-Palin ticket is campaigning on the promise of change. I truly believe that if elected, they will bring change. Unfortunately for them, I believe I'm in the majority of Americans who would prefer "foldin' money."
