Wednesday, September 3

Had dinner with a friend tonight and of course the inevitable conversation - What about this woman - this Palin woman.

I don't know much about her and I don't really care. How do we get off wondering about the personal lives of our poltical candidates, their children, their spouse - we waste so much time talking about personal trivia when this country is facing one of its most challenging periods.

Their are people in this country living below the poverty level, their are millions of people without any health coverage, people are losing their homes because the mortgage industry screwed them royally - and we talk about a pregnant 17 year old.

Really.

But having said that I had a really nice evening - it is fun to sit over a glass of wine and talk, and talk, and talk.

Even move fun to come home and write about it.
