Spent another day or so getting my new computer system up to speed, and now there's a very bright light at the end of the tunnel which I really don't think is another train.
But I just took a break to scan the web and news stations only to find out that everything's pretty much the same. In last night's debated, according to pundits, Newt did very well, especially by taking a harder line on illegals. And that should do him well with the conservative base. What's more he's jumped to the top of several important polls.
The only problem he has is, however, that he's got more baggage than a fully loaded 757 and nobody's really taken any hard shots at him yet, either in the press or from rival candidates. So, my gut feel is that things are quite likely to change. Because he's got a couple of little problems that are hard to overcome. He's arrogant, narrow minded and extremely impressed with himself which is why, I guess, he thinks he can talk his way out of anything.
But, this guy isn't Bill Clinton, doesn't have the same kind of style and isn't capable of patting you on the back and telling you jokes while he's picking your pocket, robbing you blind and hustling your wife. Consequently, I really think Gingrich's wheels will fall off fairly soon.
Then again, it's almost Thanksgiving and most of us will get a couple of days of rest and relaxation, except for those who attend family gatherings where some of the folks carry guns. And maybe this year I'll fulfill a thought I've had for years which entails renting a plane and flying over DC dropping gravy, because if there aren't more turkeys in that town than anywhere else on earth...I'd like to know where that other place is.
That's it for today folks.
Happy Thanksgiving
Adios
