My Personal, Turkey-Day, Political Pause Button

Well, it’s Canadian Thanksgiving, and I’m here, in between dinner and dessert, digesting a massive amount of food, prepared by my mother. I’ve run to my sister’s computer for a bit of a respite…and find I’m drawing a blank. The last few days have left me with far too many distracted thoughts, and the upcoming election on Tuesday is all I’m thinking about.

So…to avoid white noise in this space, I take some inspiration from the American election…and David Letterman’s latest TOP 10 list:

TOP 10 SIGNS THE PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN IS GETTING UGLY

10 — Three times Straight Talk Express has “accidentally” knocked over Obama’s mailbox

9 — Next debate will be moderated by Jerry Springer

8 — McCain keeps referring to opponent as Senator Barack Hussein Obama Bin Laden

7 — Sarah Palin says she can see Joe Biden’s hair plugs from her house

6 — Desperate attempt to connect Obama with the last eight years of Regis

5 — No number 5…economy so bad, writer putting everything he owns up on eBay

4 — They have resorted to “your Vice President’s so dumb” jokes

3 — Obama claimed McCain’s irresponsibility caused the 1929 stock market crash — he’s that old, people!

2 — Even Dick Cheney thinks they’re being cruel

1 — Obama’s gloves are off, McCain’s teeth are out
