It just me a while to come up with something else to say here. A lot's happened, but not much that I really want to discuss. The Canadian election was anticlimactic and disappointing. The Tampa Bay Rays (?) are in the World Series. And Levi Stubbs died, which sucks. We can still reach out...but he'll no longer be there.
But "when the world falls apart, some things stay in place." So I'll go on, and give some thoughts about everyone's favorite moose hunter/book banner.
Sarah Palin (funny, the last Presidential election held while I was above ground involved a female VP candidate too. Purely a coincidence) went on Saturday Night Live, clearly hoping to create some iconic TV moment like Nixon's "Sock it to me?" on Laugh-In or Bill Clinton's sax solo on Arsenio Hall. I don't think she quite made it. There was no real, "I get it" moment; it was more like, "I'm here, therefore I'm a good sport, so vote for me there, doggone it." Maybe if she'd done that rap herself...Anyway, even though I don't support, well, anything the woman stands for, I think I'd get along with her quite well. We could probably talk gloves for a while; she must be quite familiar with them, given where she's from. And maybe she'd tell me something she seems quite reluctant to tell anyone...who her favorite NHL team is. You'd think someone who's said the word "hockey" more in two months than all the other major Presidential or Vice-Presidential candidates in 232 years of American history combined would have mentioned that by now. What is she hiding? Is it a Canadian team? Or something really embarrassing, like the Islanders? It probably should be the Coyotes. A hockey team in Phoenix? Talk about your bridges to nowhere.
