Can I count the chicken, please.

Well, a little bit more than a week to go 'til election is upon us.
The latest polls suggest that Obama has a good shot to win, but
of course the McCain campaign thinks that can still come from
behind and that polls don't mean a thing. I hope there are wrong.
I came across this cartoon that, I hope, reflects the status of the race.



Something new. I created a new list that will list some great restaurants
I visited in this area. Every place will get a Schnitzelwagen rating from
0(uneatable) to 5(can't live without it).
Latest place I went. Sizzling Sticks Cafe in Northville, it's a typical
Mangolian style BBQ place. The food was fresh and it even had a
salad bar. The staff was a bit confused, but friendly. I'll give is a solid
3/5 out of 5.

Final Stretch

Well, it looks like we are heading into the final stretch of the presidential
race. Thank goodness, it is getting OLD. I actually watched the last
debate and I must say Obama looks a lot more presidential. McCain looks
more like Waldorf, the grumpy old man from the Muppets. And then,
they send Sarah Palin to SNL to show how 'funny' she can be. I actually
felt sorry for her. She was used as a cheap prop and the jokes were pretty
tasteless. Just like overall SNL in general. I do not understand why these
candidates think they need to go to these shows. Do you really base your
vote on how funny the candidate is?
Sounds like the GOP clearly is running out of ideas to attack Obama. I mean,
calling him a 'socialist'? That's the best you can do? Why not call him a
communist, or a hobbit or maybe a Borg.
Since we are talking ridiculous here, we might as well go all the way.
I am fairly hopeful that the voters will see through all these smokescreen and
that Obama will be elected. BUT, I was wrong before. Last time I thought
there is NO way that the voter would be so STUPID to vote for George again.
Well, we'll know soon and then we can start to prepare for the 2012 campaign.

Movie Update:
Body of Lies: Run of the mill middle eastern spy movie. Evil terrorists,
heartless CIA, and the hero in the middle of everything. I thought the
acting was good, but the movie missed pace and was too predictable.
(3/5)

VP Debate

Did you see the VP debate???
Good for you, because I didn't. But Christian? You may ask, you always
been following politics, why not this debate? Pretty simple, first, I am
tired of the whole campaign thing. Every time I turn on the TV, there is
one ad after another. And its never about the issues, its always pointing the
finger at the other guy. Second, I don't think either Biden or Palin have
anything new to say and I am not watching these guys go after each other,
just to wait for a gaffe or stupid comment. It just doesn't matter for me
anymore. I can't vote and quite frankly, after the last 8 years we had, I
can not understand how someone could vote for McCain anyway.
As for the debate, I am sure I will get summary at work tomorrow. I have
two colleagues at the extreme opposite of the spectrum. One, left winged,
believes McCain is a traitor and the right wing colleague, who actually
believe Palin would make a good president.
It'll be entertaining to listen to their take on the debate.
I can't wait for this presidential campaign to be over.
