I Know I'm Canadian, But...

... am I missing something here?

Why is it that all reports today talk about how Sarah Palin did a "respectable" job in last night's debate?

Was I getting an alternate universe satellite feed?

Because the most prevalent thoughts that crossed my mind were:

a) that the writers of "The Daily Show" should be bowing and scraping to the producers of the debate; their work for today was almost entirely done for them, complete with a subject bar underneath Ms. Palin's talking head that was so clearly NOT the topic she was yabbering on about.

b) Tina Fey has one of the cushiest SNL guest-gigs in the world.

Duke 2, who was home late last night, was caught watching the taped recording of the debate, rather that what he had originally intended to watch when he got home - Survivor and The Office.

When he was asked why, he sheepishly yet astutely said "It's like crack - I can't stop watching".

Out of the mouths of babes, people.

To all you "Joe Six Packs" out there: TGIF, buddy. Have a rockin', amped-up weekend, gettin' loaded and huntin' for endangered species on your new ATV.

To the rest, I don't know what to tell you.

The view from my kitchen window?

Scary.

The Calling

So, I'm being as compulsive as usual, and scanning the locations of my readers.

Lo and behold, one of the people hails from - wait for it -

Washington, DC.

I don't want to brag or anything, but I think it's Sarah Palin's people.

Oh. My. Gawd.

I think that they're going to approach me to be her speechwriter, and feed her lines for the Thursday night routing, er, debate. How GREAT would that be?

There's just a few things going against me, but I'm willing to ignore them in order to pursue this dream job.

1. I'm Canadian. Although I am North American. Half points for that.

2. I'm completely apolitical. Although I think Jon Stewart is pretty smart sexy. What does this mean?

3. I would rather eviscerate myself with a rusty knife. Although that kinds of ties in to the hunting/fishing scene that Ms. P's Alaska has got going on.

So, fingers crosses I hear something in the next couple of days.

I've been to St. Louis, and I know for a fact that aside from the fabulous International Bowling Museum & Hall of Fame, they have a Neiman Marcus nearby.

I am so ready for this...
