the season

This Election Season is going to be the death of me. Here we are at 7:30 just now trying to wake up and grope towards life giving elixir (….tea….coffee…..bottles of milk…..). For the first time in ages Matt and I catastrophically disagreed about the outcome of the debate last night. As far as I can tell he stayed up all night discouraging himself reading NRO et.al. who always believe the worst no matter what. I thought the debate went pretty well. Discovered that I don’t mind a little blood letting in the midst of the fray (unlike, apparently, all Independents and all Women). Maybe I should watch Homeland.

I went to bed at midnight instead of listening any more to various “Independents” in Frank Lunzt’s “Focus Group” (he always wears too much blush) swing wildly back and forth as they convince themselves and each other of totally opposite outcomes in the same breath. Wonder if they get snacks as they watch the debate. Surely they don’t sit in that formation for 90 minutes?

Anyway, thinking of putting out a Homeschoolers Guide to Surviving an Election. It would include things like ‘How to Lower Your Standards Enough to Meet Them Because You Got No Sleep’ at ‘How To Read Life of Fred and Surf the Internet for New Polls on Your Phone At The Same Time’ and ‘How to Convince Your Children That Breakfast Is Not the Most Important Meal of the Day.’ I’ll let you know how #3 goes later because that’s immediately in my future.
