For the last couple or three days, I have been sitting here mostly wondering if that gurgling noise is coming from my lungs or the vaporizer. There has been no "thrill of victory or agony of defeat", just the trudging through the day one does when hosting the viruses of the cold from hell.

Still, on Tuesday morning, I was up and at 'em to be at Tarrant County Election Headquarters at 06:00, where I reported for duty as an emergency election clerk. We were the unassigned, yet willing, fresh from three hours of training over the weekend and ready to do our bit to guarantee a fair, legal and problem-free election.

Darn that ol' "gotcha" media. What's "Sarah Saks Pack" to do? She's got to manage all this "to do" over $150,000 in clothing and accessories for her and her family at posh stores such as Nieman-Marcus and Saks Fifth Avenue, plus trips to that bargain store Macy's.

Dang it, a hockey mom's got to look her best on Main Street. You can't have Joe the Plumber outdressin' Sarah Saks Pack. What would they say in Wasilla?

We all know that Sarah Palin lied about the "Bridge to Nowhere" and her opposition to earmarks. However, now she has a chance to come clean and prove her mettle as a fiscal reformer and true "maverick".

House members have passed the omnibus spending bill, all $670 billion of it, and the senate is expected to follow suit quickly. All of this so they can get to the $700 billion bailout bill.

So, how well did GOP standard bearers John McCain and Sarah Palin fare in their battle against earmarks?

What part of total deregulation is ruinous does John McCain not understand?

Despite all evidence to the contrary, McCain still has his wagon hitched to the dark star of dereg guru Phil Gramm.

If you are a Friend of Palin (FOP), you are pretty busy these days trying to cover her tracks.

The newest FOP is the Alaska attorney general, appointed by The Sarah.

GOP Vice Presidential Candidate Sarah obviously had been working hard on her answers with her assigned former Bush campaign handlers. She gleefully spewed them out on cue, even it wasn't the right cue (but that didn't matter).

Those who noticed her ignorance of the "Bush Doctrine" should just stay quiet. Those who do not stay quiet obviously are sexist or anti-Christian or unpatriotic or anti-something-good.

Sarah maintained her composure.

She turned her back on the global warming deniers, making her a little more in lock step with her running mate, ol' what's his name. I think her supporters smiled secretively and thought "that too will pass" (as indeed may ol' what's his name), and there soon will be polar bear hunting trips in Alaska.

Yes, Iraq is a holy war, but not really, because Abraham Lincoln said so. If those are her own words, why are you asking her about them, Charlie? Once again, to disagree with the Sarah is an attack on Christianity itself.

Well, Royce West and Boyd Richie seem to have launched the Texas Democratic Party Railroad for continuing disenfranchisement of Texas Democrats.

This is the first Sunday when Tim Russert will not be presiding over "Meet the Press".
Whilst many mourn the passage of Tim Russert, others are making political hay over it one way or the other.
Many of the "progressives" who have not had one nice thing to say about Russert EVER

You see, it's this way.

No one told us anyone needed anything and we didn't ask.

That's about how it boils down in FEMA latest buterfingers handling of the much-dropped Katrina football.

Texas Democrats in convention in Austin last weekend passed on giving the people a true voice in picking presidential candidates.

Though they voted to "study" the system, basically, the Dems let stand the precinct conventions, which effectively give most voters only two thirds of a vote for their presidential candidate.

Note to all you Obamadilloes out there: "Get over it [expletive deleted]!" is not a welcoming, conciliatory tone.

When John Edwards quit the race, I declared myself neutral. Neither of the two remaining candidates offered enough pizazz to me to take sides. However, I committed myself to fully support the nominee of the Democratic Party. When I did that, I got snarky remarks from both Obama and Clinton supporters.

Thus, I knew whichever side that won was going to sorry winners and whichever side that lost was going to be sore losers. I was right. Right now, the McCain/Bush campaign is opening its web to attract as many Clinton supporters as it can as they flee from Obama. Obama may be talking unity, but much of his flock is talking penance.

Sen. John Cornyn of Texas wants me to sign an online petition praising and supporting Gen. Petraeus.

He so wants my support, he is willing to lie to get it.
