Lunch Break - Gays, Indians, Marriage, Trojans, Republicans and other notes.

Some Notes:
1. Pro Obama people - you are welcome to post here. If it is long, I'll cut the comment at random. Pro Hillary folks can say what ever they like within the usual parameters. By not banning you guys outright L.R. is already treating you better than KOS and Huffinpuff treated us. I see no reason to give you more room to insult normal Democrats and normal ex-Democrats, or to give you more rope to hang yourselves. You've got plenty of both already. Plus: The insults from your side are really, really, really, stupid at this point. CNN's last poll indicates that ALL McCain's bump in the last 2 months is from PUMAs. ALL. WTF is wrong with you people? Do you WANT to lose? Imagine this: The close primary went the other way. What would both Clintons have been doing for the last 2 months? HEALING the PARTY. That's what. BHO and his people have done the opposite. They've gone out of their way to insult us, in fact.

2. Let's hear it for the professionals who stopped the assassins in Denver. I wish to god people would stop the JFK and 1968 references. I am just that superstitious.

Knock down drag out election = good. Violence= bad.

3. Only 5 days until the first USC Game! Whoo Hoo. Also, remember the big event in the football stadium Thursday? I can't wait for it! Stanford versus Oregon State on ESPN!!!

4. Hmm - I was thinking this A.M. -When is the last time a big Obama speech helped him? The last 2 that come to mind are the "race" speech and the Berlin speech. The first speech saved him but did not improve his standing .The second speech hurt his standing in the polls as it was seen by many as obnoxious and ego driven. I wonder if Thursday will help? Hurt? The rock star thing is a much bigger turn off to many than the Pods seem to understand.
I don't know. But the myth about BHO's galvanizing and unifying speeches no longer stands up to scrutiny. Thursday's should be interesting. Please tell me how it goes. I'll be watching football.

5. Boi From Troy - a gay, republican, fierce USC Trojan football fan with a blog ( ain't life grand...on close inspection no one can be pigeon holed.) gives the heads up on Hallmarks gay marriage cards AND Gay Indians and this and such...

6. Speaking of nearly perfect gay people - the clip today is of Ellen from "Here and Now". I love this show. The tagline on the poster was "Modern life and other inconveniences." Plus the gogurt joke is priceless. Who ever wrote that tag line and the gogurt joke is a genius.
