Summer's Over : Time to focus on the election

We had a rare opportunity to hear John McCain speak on Monday night. His speech was great and he gave Elle such a hearty handshake that JY says had it been Bill Clinton he would have punched him.

The only pics I got were from my phone, so I'm not sure if any of them will be good enough to post.

I FINALLY met John Ziegler, who used to be an evening talk show host on KFI. He has made a documentary called Blocking The Path to 9-11.

You can read about John here. I don't know whether the movie will play locally so I've ordered the DVD.

Blocking the Path to 9-11 will be shown in Orange County on 9-11-08; you can order tickets here.

I had been counting on watching The Path to 9-11 by Cyrus Nowrasteh via DVD since we don't have cable. The DVD release has been delayed by Disney, many think because of pressure from the Clintons. There is a horrifying clip of Harry Reid threatening to pull Disney's broadcast licence for broadcasting the mini series.

Blocking the Path to 9-11 is about the delay in DVD release.

Anyone as excited as me about John McCain's pic for VP? This quote alone from Sarah Palin seals the deal for me:

And your stand on abortion?

I'm pro-life. I'll do all I can to see every baby is created with a future and potential. The legislature should do all it can to protect human life.

Of course, the fact that she is the mother of 5 convinces me she has all the experience necessary in diplomacy.

Summer 2008

I know that technically we have several weeks of summer left, but Jonathon left yesterday, Nate begins school on Wednesday and Alix leaves for Berkely on Saturday, so I officially declare Summer 2008, with all the requisite hand wringing and depression, OVER.
