I had a pant load of calls on my answering machine today. I truly
appreciated Dubya taking time out from his busy war to give me a
ringy-dingy.

The best call, though, was in an anonymous female voice, telling me to
vote for change, vote to end corruption, vote to stop out of control
government spending - Vote Republican!

All my calls for urging me to vote for the GOP.

Oh-oh-oh...I got to hear Karl Rove interviewed on Sean Hannity's radio
show tonight. I realized I had never heard him speak before. He was
complaining about all the polling irregularities against voters in GOP
strongholds. Hannity then menioned that Ford in Tennessee was also
complaining about problems and that everyone was entitled to vote on
both sides, to which Rove replied that Ford's complaints were "thin
gruel," and nothing like what was being perpetrated upon the GOP.

I am having fun today. Imagine a day in which Dubya calls and then I
hear Sean Hannity speak in a conciliatory way. Wonder of Wonders
Miracle of Miracles!

Wow, I'm hurt, W didn't call here...and my folks are *dedicated*
Republicans!

John McCain called, though. Apparently the GOP knows that a liberal is
harbored here as well, so we got the second string.

No call from W, but I didn't pick up on a call or two that came up "Private"
on Caller ID so maybe he tried.

Laura called me yesterday, though. I don't know what she had to say -- I
hung up on er.

Bill Clinton called me the other day. We're in California so I guess
he figured it was a safe bet.

I hung up on him before he had a chance to ask me what I was wearing.

Boring. Friday or Saturday I was at a friend's house when he got a call
from Clint Eastwood.

That's the advantage of the Internet, it's much harder for people like
you to dodge these serious, hard-journalism type questions.

So, what *are* you

The best I could manage was Newt Gingrich. At least, I think it was the
former House speaker; I hit the 'erase" button immediately after hearing
"Newt Ging--"

Here in Maryland it was the nightly (though of course not last
night) robo-calls posing as surveys for the Republican Senate
Candidate from Common Sense Maryland which is funded from Ohio
(as best I can recall). These are the ones that refer to stem
cell research as "Medical experimentation on unborn babies."

No political ads on TV this AM I almost cried for joy.

Yep, me neither, only the dems called... But then the dems outspent the Rs
by a huge margin in my district.

This is priceless. I need a new T-shirt and this will be great for it.

In case some of you missed Rush's first 45 minutes, here are the key
points:

1. Republicans, unlike the Democrats when they lose elections, will
not whine about losing and make excuses, but will look themselves
straight in the eye and recognize their mistakes.

2. Republicans lost because all the positive news around these days
was reported by the media as gloom and doom by the media, and now that
the Democrats are in power everything will now suddenly be reported by
the media as happiness and light.

3. The Republicans lost because they weren't radical enough, and
because too many were running as Rockefeller Repubicans.

And that's just the first 45 minutes. Unfortunately, I will now need
to switch to watching the President. But I think I get his basic
drift.

Right. No excuses, no whining. Just looking themselves in the eye.

Neither the dems or reps contact me much; mostly just anarchists.

And they mostly just tie a note around a rock.
