A bed Carrie Fisher slept in, a pre-election prayer, Rockport, Massachusetts, and Gordon Lightfoot will help me right my ship

I AM NERVOUS ABOUT THIS ELECTION. If Obama does not win, there will be President Sarah Palin. She will never be intellectually curious, she will continue to appeal to the simplest and worst aspects of people, and the standards of decency and thinking will continue to plummet.
But the best things about her are:
she has been de-witched - the witches have been drawn out of her by that African minister guy visiting her old church.
Tina Fey represents her so well
it looks like her kids and the First Dude like her.
The First Dude is a smiling subservient guy who is very proficient at a winter sport
Sarah likes to tell people that First Dude is very good at a winter sport
Sarah's presidency will make George Walker Bush's presidency look like the time of a thoughtful, reasonable and insightful person ruled the land of the free and home of the brave

I AM SITTING IN A BEDROOM on the third floor overlooking the ocean in Rockport, Massachusetts. In this bed in this bedroom, once slept Carrie Fisher. I could draw a lot of imaginary conclusions from that fact but the ocean and rocks and foliage and air are too beautiful to spend anymore time inside. Or as Gordon Lightfoot once sang, "but for now love let's be real."

A PRE-ELECTION PRAYER (damn, there will be many more)
DEAR GOD, Help us. Don't give us Sarah Palin if we don't really deserve it. I promise to be better whether or not you answer my prayer. Thank you very much. Amen and I mean it.
Annuit Coeptis
