I just made a cross-country road trip after just having through the scary hurricane Ike week. It was a long trip, starting in the far south of Texas and ending in the far north of Arkansas. Almost 800 miles all told.

This is significant only in that for fun, I started counting political signs posted in yards along the way. I stopped counting McCain/Palin signs after seeing 40, only remarking to myself; “oh! There’s another one”. Believe me, there were a lot of them. Completely absent in this part of the world were the Obama/Biden signs.

I realize my observations do not constitute a real poll, there was nothing “scientific” about it. Texas has always been conservative, but based on what I’ve seen, I think Bill and Hilary’s home state has turned Red. Of course, no one would expect a bunch of religion and gun clinging rednecks to vote for a black man anyway.

Another thing that strikes me as odd about all the hoopla over Sarah Palin is; generally speaking Vice Presidents are invisible. Let’s face it, what did we hear from or about Dan Quail or Dick Chaney on a regular basis? Unless someone decides to attack Chaney because his daughter came out of the closet, or he has another glitch with his heart problem,,, or accidentally shoots a hunting partner. Al Gore only makes it to the news stories because of his recent excesses and idiotic rants. However, during the term of office we never see them in the news at all. A VP’s duties are rather limited to attending an occasional State funeral or making a flag showing somewhere. They are never the headline the President is. With all the media attention going to Palin, you’d think she was running for the top spot on the ticket. The last I heard, that was still John McMain.

As for Sandra Bernhard, she is just butt ugly, inside and out.
