You are an easily distracted bunch I know, but people, please, take your eyes off the prize.
Eighty percent of my feed reader, and that doesn’t include my homepages on Google, contain posts about the Nobel Prize. I don’t think I’ve seen much else, so overwhelmed has my reader been by all this foolish Nobel frenzy. From the time Obama woke up, heard the news, muttered a few expletives, showered, dressed, and accepted a prize for a path he has yet to walk, I’ve read nothing else.
This is distracting us from things we need to discuss, most notably health care reform, the unnecessary health insurance industry, the much watered down, and practically unrecognizable, compromise for National Health Care called the Public Option. An option that, despite it all, the majority of Americans want.
Enough of the melodrama being played out in the inept theater of the media.
I’d settle for reading anything else this weekend really, your experience drinking beer at ten in the morning at the local Fall Festival beer garden, your quest for the great pumpkin, or your search for a women’s Halloween costume that doesn’t scream “I’m the object of your sexual desire take me”, the story of your sad lonely hours as a researcher in the uni library, or the secret crush you have on the guy who serves you your every two hour Latte.
I hope to answer previous post comments and read a ton of blog posts tomorrow. Tonight, I’m exhausted from drinking beers at ten in the morning at the local Fall Festival beer garden, my quest for the great pumpkin, searching for a women’s Halloween costume that doesn’t scream “I’m the object of your sexual desire take me”, my lonely hours as a researcher in the uni library, and thinking about the secret crush I have on the guy who serves me your every two hour nonfat Latte.
peace
