In the tender compassion of our God the dawn from on high shall break upon us, to shine on those who dwell in darkness and the shadow of death, and to guide our feet into the way of peace.

My My My Just don’t know what to make of this…but it cracks me up
[update] Sorry folks–wrote in a hurry and didn’t realize you can’t really see the headlines — turns out Obama’s win is listed at the bottom of the paper, below the fold where no one would see it as it lays in a stack.
I have all but given up on reading the newspaper…any newspaper. Of course, every once in a while I will pick up the local paper, especially if my favorite boyfriend has written a good piece (you ‘ve heard me rave about sportswriting being the best). Anyway, I happened to be reading the Drudge Report, and followed this link because I wondered what kind of crazy paper in Georgia has made the headlines in Drudge.
Yep. You guessed it. That’s my hometown right there, and that’s our paper, the Rockdale Citizen. Beautiful. Dare I defend them and say that local politics trumps national politics? I think I will. The local races are important to us. They really are. And somebody said somewhere that real politics are the local politics. So I said it. I even believe it. But still, daaaaammmmnnnn. I didn’t vote for Obama, but I can surely appreciate the historic nature of the election. Bahaha.
has no one offered Hillary condolences?

best movie line taken out of context
It so applies to what is invariably happening all over the country today:
You know, it’s an interesting thing when you consider…the Earth people, who can think, are so frightened by those who cannot…
a timely monday musings
Another presidential campaign cycle is winding down. Today, on the eve of elections, many people are thinking about and going over the issues one last time before commiting to a candidate tomorrow. Some, like me, have exercised the opportunity to vote early. Regardless of when we get around to casting that vote, the nation, it seems, is hanging in the balance until one of those candidates is proclaimed the victor.
It appears that this election will be closely monitored, from within our borders because of so much partisanship, but also from without, as I can never recall an election that commanded so much interest from abroad.
It is the almost rabid partisanship that has me concerned. While I fervently want my candidate to win, I don’t think the country will collapse overnight if he loses. The odds are generally in my favor that one of them is going to be elected [smile].
I also think that the threats from both sides to move to another country is neither practical, nor good for America. This is a great country. It will still be a great country on Wednesday morning. As her citizens, we have to remember that once the election is over, we need to put away the blue flags and the red flags and go back to the business of waving the one flag that unites us, you know, that pretty banner with the red, white, and blue.
my nanowrimo widget doesn’t update well
Alas, one must be patient until the web traffic slows down some. If you’re new to the blog, you can read my work in progress in the NaNoWriMo tab. I’ve already taken down the first day’s entry, and will replace day 2 this afternoon, so if you’re interested in following my progress, check in daily!
Meanwhile, my word count is 4003 –so I better get back to work.
It’s November 1st
NaNoWriMo started. I posted my first bleary eyed entry at the NaNoWriMo tab. Read it now — it’ll be replaced with something new tomorrow!
And come play with me. I’m Bego at nanowrimo.org.

today’s astounding google search term
“hillary clinton is a dude”
No kidding. Somehow, someone searched for that term and landed here. Welcome. While I can’t claim that we share a similar opinion of the senator, it’s pretty close.
