Sonya and I are back in New York, but it seems that the hasty trip to Texas has taken a toll.
We are behind. And we are fatigued.
We are also working on getting both corrected. But it seems that our being tired is allowing things to happen to our bodies that we'd rather not have happen--and rather not discuss in detail, thanks.
Neither of us will be watching the game. Of course, we've not got tv access...which is probably good, since if we did, I'd have ended up watching some of the idiocy that has been going on around Palin.
How anyone can take seriously as a leader someone who resigned from office midway through a term, particularly when that person faced allegations of several kinds of misconduct; how anyone can follow someone who espouses policies that in her own household have been shown to fail as the only way to go; confuses me. That they do annoys me.
It would be different if I didn't have to put up with it, too.
And then there are the gubernatorial idiots in Texas.
I love the state I grew up in. It's pretty and the food is good. And most of the people I've met are fairly decent, one on one. But when the specter of secession comes up from the sitting governor and a sitting US Senator, a specter which is not legal and has not been a viable option since the middle of the 19th century, a specter which would cause both Killeen and San Antonio to march in force against the rest of the area, I can only conclude that Texas is run and represented by idiots. And idiots who are treading very close to the point at which they violate oaths they have taken.
Certainly, they would force all the schoolchildren in public schools in the state to become oathbreakers. Isn't that right, Texas Legislature, which requires all schoolchildren to recite the Pledge of Allegiance daily? Never mind that a compulsory oath is rendered invalid...
Idiots.
