Cam-pain

Apparently John McCain has launched his "Joe The Plumber Tour"--which is ironic for many reasons that surfaced after "Joe" Wurzelbacher's fifteen minutes of fame during the last Presidential debate. It is another example of how the McCain/Palin campaign is relying on the beat-a-dead-horse tactic, hoping to win votes by repeating lies and untruths so many times that some people actually believe them. The RNC is taking up any slack by suggesting Obama is a terrorist, for example.

Meanwhile, Alan Greenspan just admitted "the free market ideology that had guided his life and dominated world capitalism for a generation did not work the way he thought it would" (source).

I have great hope that Obama will be elected President, but feel bad that I haven't done much to help promote him, outside of this blog. I'm not convinced that setting up a yard sign will make a difference, but I don't want to go door-to-door or intrude on peoples' personal time by making phone calls on behalf of the campaign. It's a shame to feel so useless at a time when I feel so passionate about this candidate.

I am proud to say that C and I just cast our votes, through the power of our wallets, for our new favorite radio station WOSU, 820AM Columbus--the local NPR broadcast station. I'll add a link on the right. Internet radio, especially NPR, has been a great source of music and news, as well as interesting stories and other great information.

Ok--I just sent off a pair of vintage eyeglasses to have lenses installed. That's about all the news that is news... Enjoy the weekend
