My, we're all up early talking politics.

That sounds like a Little Golden Book about a lion.

It's because we stayed up kinda late talking politics, well many of us, outside the theater after Assassins.

Hmmm, something about the subject matter of the play put us in the mind to discuss the U.S. presidency.:rolleyes:


I had a bizarre dream that I was somehow elected President by mistake, and there was a Hospital Wing next to the West Wing ... Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton, even older than they are now, were in a room together, while the two Bushes were in a room across the Hall, and they were all making demands on me to find things for them they left somewhere in the Oval Office, and they couldn't stop bickering with each other from across the hall.


Can we have the election tomorrow please? This is obviously getting to me. (But, yeah, it won't be every night I see a musical about presidential assassins.)

That certainly borders on the bizarre. I once had a dream about Hillary Clinton in which her neck and shoulders were made out of shiny black flexible steel and I found her extraordinarily hot because of that.

Was exceptionally creepy and haunts me to this day.

I once had a nightmare where this incompetent boob from Texas got elected to the White House... oh, wait... never mind....

No politician has ever entered my dreams I am happy to say........although I have had some daytime fantasies where I am playing hockey and slamming Ron Wyden into and over the boards:evil:

If it's that "[I went] Back to Ohio" song, it's by Chrissie Hynde and the Pretenders. I have *no* idea what their political leanings are... if they were new today they would probably fall under some kind of Goth category but they were New Wave back in the 1980s... I was just surprised when she had a kid that she said some really weird stuff... about how women's bodies are designed to make babies and that if women don't get pregnant by a certain age it makes them go into depression or something.

The "Ohio" song is that strong rhythmic tune that I associate with Rush.

As an aside, I remember Alex and I were on a cross-country road trip a few years ago when I had the radio set to a country music station (because in some of the backwaters it's country or Latin accordion salsa music and I MUCH prefer country, thankyouverymuch). Martina McBride came on with "Let Freedom Ring" and just as she started singing the chorus, Alex started singing along... because it was the one line he was familiar with from the Hannity show. rofl. OK I probably just embarassed him.

Please understand that I DO NOT think Obama is a Muslim. Not for a second. But boy did he make and oops on This Week with George Stephanopoulis.

In discussing faith, Obama referred to "his Muslim faith", finished the sentence, Stephanopoulis corrected him with "Christian faith", and Obama quickly corrected himself.

Oops.

oh he did not??? hahahaha, giant frelling oops.

Well, perhaps it isn't as huge as I thought. He still said it, but what he was saying is that McCain and his campaign have not tried to say his is a Muslim. He said "you're absolutely right that John McCain has not talked about my Muslim faith.". What he meant was that McCain hasn't been trying to say he is a Muslim. So still an oops, but not like he was just discussing faith and called himself a Muslim. I think he just didn't say what he meant very well.
