How is everyone doing coming in to the last 2 months of the election?
 Advertisements [?]I am not fairing well, I have no patience and feel as if the weight of the world has been placed on my shoulders, though true or not, that is my perception of the way I have felt over the last few months.

Since there are still at least two months to go, I thought I'd enjoy trying to find poets or musicians who speak for this feeling.

Who gives voice to your feelings, right now? I've found that Gnarls Barkley - "Crazy" is perfect for me at this stage.

1. The fear mongering based Palin pick has thrown me a bit or maybe 
 I just need to stay out of the DU until this settles. It seems like every thread is about her and I am sick of it.

2. I'm a nervous wreck 
 I'm worried about an invasion of Iran, further destruction of our government and Constitution, martial law, suspension of the election, dirty tricks, cheating and more cheating.

I won't be able to take a deep breath and relax until I see Obama and Biden duly sworn in next January.

7. stressed
 worrying about finances at night, instead of sleeping. Worrying about my dog, who isn't "quite right" and trying to decide whether to take him to the local (mediocre) vet or further to an unknown vet in a better class town who does chiropractic (based on history and symptoms, there's a 1 in 4 chance the issue is at least partly chiropractic in nature). And worried about the cost of oil, even with the coop's under $4/gallon price it's going to hurt bad this winter. And worried about the election after McCain stole Obama's thunder.

Until today. This morning, I "took the battle to them" with a couple jehovah's witnesses who keep coming by at bad times and interruping me when I really cannot be interrupted. I saw them at my neighbor's while walking my dog, so went over and explained how if they really want to help the world, they should go have a chat with the rightwing christian conservative wingnut former employers who poisoned me. I was polite but passionate, and left assured that they will never come by my place again. Lol, I even gave the names and addresses of the former employer, although I suspect they were afraid to go have a chat about the bible and Jesus' word with them!

Then I came inside to get online during my last day of "vacation" before school starts up again. And there were the latest disaster headlines about Palin, plus Gustav dropped to cat 2. I've been feeling incredibly hopeful and cheery ever since!

From what I can determine, the DUmmies are shitting their pants.

And this is different from their normal state of incontinence..... How exactly?

In this case no intoxicating substances are needed to achieve it.

I dunno...

I find Sarah Palin prettty intoxicating!    (like I'd stand a snowball's chance with her  )
