Two Days until E-Day.

*

I'm sitting here tonight with a heating pad on my neck wrapped in a blanket with a hot cup of tea.
Have the makings of a good cold right now and am hoping to beat it back.
Waiting for the SNL appearance of John McCain before packing it in for tonight.

I wish that Sarah Palin would shut up about the constitution, she clearly doesn't have a clue what it actually says.
She seems to think that she can criticize Barack Obama's associations and that's her right but when reporters of the media criticize her or the McCain negative campaigning THAT threatens her freedom of speech. Amazing.

The first Amendment of the Constitution:
"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."

Sarah seems to believe that the Obama campaign is just as negative as McCain's. Yet they have left McCain's relationship with Keating 5 or G Gordon Liddy out of their speeches. They have left her especially alone despite the relationship with a certain secessionsist party, or a particularly unusual religious leader... and some legal issues. No I'd say that the Obama campaign isn't doing the same thing, they're trying to be inclusive of people that don't necessarily agree with them, not name calling, or trying to scare the hell out of people for no good reason. There is a high road and a low road.
I guess to Palin the end does justify the means.
That's a dangerous concept to believe in.
Fear and hatred aren't easily controlled once let loose.

One of my favorite quotes is from the tv show Dr. Who:

"You know, the very powerful and the very stupid have one thing in common. They don't alter their views to fit the facts. They alter the facts to fit their views. Which can be uncomfortable if you happen to be one of the facts that need altering."

That quote is what the first amendment is trying to protect us against.
Hey, Sarah, facts don't need to be altered.
I guess the constitution of the USA must protect you too because you're still unmuzzled ain't ya?
Media=good when it's on your side, media=bad when it's not towing the line.
So what's good for the goose isn't good for the gander after all...

Saturday Night Live:
So far so good. Skit with McCain campaign raising money for campaign by spotlighting products like on the home shopping networks.
Sarah Palin's Ayers fresheners... to use when something just doesn't smell right.
With a cameo from Cindy McCain showing the line of McCain "Fine Gold" jewelry collection.
Tina Fey as Palin stepping aside for a moment and "going rogue" with her Palin 2012 t-shirts, not to be worn until after Tues.
(I'm either gonna run for office or I'm gonna be a white Oprah...)
Have to give McCain some credit for doing the show. Don't know that it'll matter but... still.

Spoof on the View was good too. Joy and Elizabeth. Ben as "Alec" and Jennifer. Whoopie. Ha.
I If I can remain awake I'll have to watch the rest of the show.
Finally the light at the end of the... Wait: can it be a spoof of Keith Olbermann's Countdown?

Wow it seems that the election has woken up the writers at SNL...
Too bad that it'll likely go back to it's normal mediocrity after the election, eh?
Ben Affleck had fun with Olbermann!

G'night.
Two more days... Thank Goodness!
