I think I was raised by some pretty intelligent people. I was raised with a definite left leaning philosophy but I was also taught to evaluate ideas and people based on the available information. I never had anything against John McCain, I was never a crazy Obama fan either. Having said that, I think John McCain has very quickly lost his mind over the time of this campaign. Whatever made him think that Sarah Palin was a qualified running mate proves it. The idea of that woman being a heartbeat away from the presidency is a truly frightening thought. This whole idea of voting for her because, "Hey, she's just like me" is ridiculous. I'm not qualified to be president, most people I know aren't. Thats not bad, I'm not qualified to be a physician or a physicist either, some might argue I shouldn't be a scientist either but thats another story. I can, however, name magazines and newspapers that I read, I can also tell you about several Supreme Court decisions that I don't agree with, and I don't count refueling stops as having visited a country. *sigh* Sorry this election is getting to me, I wish we could just elect Obama and stop having to hear about the idiocy of Sarah Palin.
Enough of that. We have an action packed weekend. Tonight we are headed over to Mike and Erin's for a little fondue and some gaming. We don't get to see them often enough since they live aaaalllllllll the way over in Apex. Back when I lived in LA or Vegas driving 45mins to see someone was nothing. Now that everyone I know lives within ten minutes it seems really far. Tomorrow is the semi annual wine show at Weaver Street. We're going to that and then heading over to Steph and Linda's for some good food and good friends.
