...That not withstanding the fact that Palin didn't even answer half the questions that were posed to her... she'd redirect them to either taxes or energy. 

...I was glad that Biden didn't try to correct her when she called General McKierman "McClellan" (who has been dead since the late 1800s and had nothing to do with Afghanistan).   It would have been petty, and I think he showed great restraint (especially considering that's the occasional weak point in his pocket.)


But, I will say that Palin didn't fall to pieces... 70 million Americans waited with baited breath, kind of like waiting for the big crash at an auto race. ]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>Oh&#x2c; where&#x2c; oh&#x2c; where...</title><dc:creator>allison@allisonwonderland.info</dc:creator><category>Personal</category><dc:date>2008-10-10T19:38:16-04:00</dc:date><link>http://allisonwonderland.info/files/a78ca18d8bb5cc7415a928303400328f-7.html#unique-entry-id-7</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://allisonwonderland.info/files/a78ca18d8bb5cc7415a928303400328f-7.html#unique-entry-id-7</guid><content:encoded><![CDATA[ (for dialysithe one on call could even call me back, I'd called a friend and said "I gotta go." 

...I spent the next day and a half or so curled up in a little ball running up to 104.6 degrees.   Bad enough for anyone, but when you consider my normal temp is 97.1 to 97.5, it's even worse. 

...They pulled my permacath Sunday, and I started to feel better, though I still ran up to 103 or so at times.


Long story short, they turned my dialysis fistula into swiss cheese and had to insert a new permacath. ]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>Wind-up Dolls</title><dc:creator>allison@allisonwonderland.info</dc:creator><category>Politics</category><dc:date>2008-09-25T23:35:20-04:00</dc:date><link>http://allisonwonderland.info/files/036c523b0b1e4a296c1565b915c119cf-6.html#unique-entry-id-6</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://allisonwonderland.info/files/036c523b0b1e4a296c1565b915c119cf-6.html#unique-entry-id-6</guid><content:encoded><![CDATA[This was in a response to my post asking the McCain campaign (and Palin) when we were going to be allowed to talk to her. 

...Witness the interview Campbell Brown did with McCain spokesman Tucker Bounds... this is the one that caused the McCain camp to say she "crossed the line" and cancel the Larry King appearance that McCain was supposed to do the next night. 

...I'm *still* waiting to hear about one decision Palin has made with regards to the Alaskan National Guard as it relates to foreign policy. 

...It's always in the silly updo that looks like she's on her way to a cocktail party... in a business suit. 

...She's got a nice, fluffy, big hair hairdo that actually looks like it's from the 21st century, not mid-20th and not like she's a senior citizen (Walters is 18 years 1 month older than Hillary... exactly. ]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>This isn&#x27;t as easy as it looks</title><dc:creator>allison@allisonwonderland.info</dc:creator><category>Humor</category><dc:date>2008-09-25T02:00:49-04:00</dc:date><link>http://allisonwonderland.info/files/ffb69dd0314180345295771f7b10ec15-5.html#unique-entry-id-5</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://allisonwonderland.info/files/ffb69dd0314180345295771f7b10ec15-5.html#unique-entry-id-5</guid><content:encoded><![CDATA[You know, it seems that when I'm talking to someone (or talking to CNN on my TV), making arguments for or against one thing or another (or one candidate or another) is MUCH easier than when I get on here and start typing.


Maybe it's because I'm not as brilliant as I think I am (or once was). 


Maybe it's because I find myself doing this at the end of the day (or the middle of the night depending on how you look at it), and my brain has shut down and is in sleep mode.


Maybe it's just because I'm fairly new at blogging. 

...Maybe it's lack of chocolate.

He's actually got a sense of humor as well, but not the grey hair.   (But my gaydar kind of signaled when I met him, too.)   I don't know if he's rich or not, but he's probably not poor.


And he laughed when he asked if I was sexually active, and I told him "No, I usually just lie there."]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>I&#x27;m taking my ball and going home</title><dc:creator>allison@allisonwonderland.info</dc:creator><category>Politics</category><dc:date>2008-09-25T00:40:11-04:00</dc:date><link>http://allisonwonderland.info/files/5965edb31cc8b0a9a846624f12334438-3.html#unique-entry-id-3</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://allisonwonderland.info/files/5965edb31cc8b0a9a846624f12334438-3.html#unique-entry-id-3</guid><content:encoded><![CDATA[The unilateral, and, frankly, something that sounds like an ultimatum, reminds me of the kid who says "Do it my way or I'm going to take my ball and go home."


It would be all well and fine to *suggest* postponing the debate (though I don't think it should be postponed) would be fine and dandy, but this threat (and that's from a report on CNN, not my own statement of thought) to just not show up... stupid. 

...It seems that McCain has made a series of bad judgement calls when it comes to the economy, not the least of which has been the "the fundamentals of our economy are strong" blunder. ...  Maybe they're strong if you're bloody rich, but not for the rest of us who don't have the 5 million dollars to be moved into the "rich" class.


It seems to be a pattern dating back to the Keating 5 when McCain was sanctioned for showing "bad judgement" in the Savings & Loan bailout in the 80s... not to mention the removal of regulations that allowed mortgages to be treated like securities and bought and sold.

I don't think a couple years as commander of the state National Guard (gotta wonder how big that is in Alaska) qualifies much either.


...How can Obama be involved in a conspiracy with a panel that was set up two months before her nomination as vice-president? ...  As one old professor of mine was want to say, that's like putting the rapist in the middle of an all-female orchestra.


...And I want to know... if she's involved in a crisis of country and one of her kids is involved in a serious accident or seriously ill... where is this mother and her "family values" going to be mentally AND emotionally?

Not only that, but for a guy who keeps saying that he buys American, you have to wonder where the Honda and the VW are made.


And for a guy who says he's so earth friendly, and wants to stop our reliance on foreign oil, you'd think he could find something a little more energy efficient to drive besides a Cadillac CTS.


...I would have looked more closely at the Ford had I not had a HORRIBLE (I mean *HORRIBLE) experience with a Ford (and the Ford Motor Company itself) about 24 years ago, and then a different, but still horrible experience with a Ford dealership when I was looking for a car in 1998 (deciding that I would break down and give Ford another chance).


...I still don't comprehend AT ALL how a guy with 7 properties and 9 hourses and 13 cars and a sh*tload of money call a guy with one house, one car, and a sum of money that most of the rest of us would love to have "elitist". ]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>Where am I?

...I went to a high school of about 2000 students (a class of 523), and I'm still in touch with many kids (if you can call us that now) from my class. 

...In fact, the only time in my life I have ever heard something like that was when I was at the state's unemployment office as I was finishing my degree in Computer Technology (my 3rd of 4 degrees in two different majors).   The man who was doing my intake first said something about it not mattering what job I took since I would be getting married and having kids and would quit my job, and that I didn't have to make as much money because of that. 

...I've lived through and remember things like Sputnik, the Berlin Wall (going up and coming down), Kennedy's assassination, the Beatles on Ed Sullivan (I was at my above-mentioned grandparents' house), Civil Rights legislation, Martin Luther King's time and assassination, Bobby Kennedy's assassination, Vietnam, Woodstock (no, I wasn't there), Women's Lib, Disco, etc, etc... ]]></content:encoded></item></channel>
