Obama Vs McCain



Last night I watched the last debate. It was the only debate I have ever watched in its entirety. I'm not into politics and frankly I have no idea what the hell they are talking about half the time. If they said things like, we have to raise the knitting to level out the purling.... well then I'd know what they were saying. But anyways, I watched it, and sat there finding myself growling at McCain. I had not up to that point picked a candidate. I just found him unprofessional if you will. It seemed as if all he wanted to do was spit out negative remarks about Obama and his plan. And always had to talk over Obama when he was speaking. Obama let him say what he had to without interrupting, and I rarely if ever heard anything negative come from Obama. It seemed all McCain wanted to do was spit out "Obama wants to raise taxes" and "spread the wealth" in every sentence. Just get over it already I'm tired of hearing it!! McCain just reminded me too much of Bush. And at the moment I hate Bush. I did vote for him last time, but I can't stand the man now. I suppose what I am saying is I'm going for Obama. McCain just rubbed me the wrong way last night. I was one of those people that was undecided and the last debate helped. Sorry McCain, you came off as unprofessional to me, and just wanted to bash Obama every chance you had. Do I believe Obama has a better plan? Well who really knows? They are going to say what they think you want to hear to get your vote and then once they are in, everything changes. I believe we are screwed either way. I don't think that we as Americans are going to take much more of the crap they are pulling in Washington, so no matter who wins, I believe if they screw up the poor sap is going to have his rump handed to him. We impeached Clinton, we can do it again.


As for my knitting adventures, I finished my Woolly hat for my little man. I had some issues with it. I ripped it back twice, and started over. I started on DPN's and found that the joinings weren't tight enough, so I switched to a circ. That helped a bit. Then I happen to look down to see that oh 10 or so rows back I had a hole the size of my pinky. Ugh. So I just finished the thing and that was that. It could be better, but it was after all my first attempt at a hat. I'll make another.




My wrap that I was making was coming along nicely. I have about 20 or so inches of the 60 done. Was just going along, la la lala, then I look at it, and I screwed up about 6 inches back. I did the same row twice. IDIOT!!! I was so mad, and still am. I put the thing on the shelf. Everybody is getting a dishcloth basket for Christmas this year. That's that. I don't seem to screw them up. I am on my way to making a basket for 5 people. Nothing else but dishcloths from now till Christmas. Oh except for Woolly's Mystery Beret. Heehee....
