Is this the same "prediction" you made about Palin's performance last Thursday? Good thing no one took you up on your wager cuz you would be payin' up right about now.

Yeah. These are more "issues". Right.

Good morning buddy. Hope you're back on your feet soon!

What do you want to talk about?

My prediction was that the polls would shift back towards McCain. They have. Especially today...have you checked the poll averages at realclearpolitics.com? Take a look at the line chart. Obama is on a downward trend, while McCain is going upward. He has been on the rise since the Biden/Palin debate.

RCP Poll Averages..scroll down for line chart

I guess not. What exactly is the definition of an issue now? Anything that doesn't involve a negative spin of Obama?

This has been going off and on for about three weeks, but I couldn't call out from work because I was helping do grant writing and whatnot for funding. Finally I get to take some time off and get better.

I'm going to drink some tea with honey & lemon. My mom sent me some ginger root yesterday but it's disgusting to drink, and then there's that whole straining process which is so tedious. I wish I was at my grandma's, she would give me some bootleg, lol.

I'm looking forward to the debate tonight. Knowing that Obama has a solid electoral lead on McCain and is up in the polls gives me hope that Obama will turn in a top notch performance. He can't afford to drop the ball tonight.

Sarah Palin is running off at the mouth at some event in Jacksonville (I think it's Jacksonville) right now. :rolleyes:

Good Luck GGL!!!

:lol::lol::lol:

I'll just sit back and read as I work on my love/hate relationship with iTunes. I don't even want to know how McCain stepped on a stool to try to pull anything over Obama's head....the whole notion is ludicrous since he could only try to literally do it.....certainly not figuratively. :lol:

I seem to have a lot of rum in my cupboard.....don't know how that happened. :lol:

I'm not big on ginger and I am not good with mint tea either.

The debate should be more interesting than the first one and McCain should be happy about the Town Hall aspect so maybe he'll be less tense and angry.

How long have you been hiding as a "guest" to wait for me to post, so that you could bring this back up again?

Believe it or not...someone has asked McCain this. Remember it happened 8 years ago, and McCain has apologized..He apologized to the entirety of the Vietnamese people.

Roman, McCain was a POW during a war in which the enemy was referred to as two things, by the soldiers.."gooks" and "charlie".

John McCain (as I have said before) should have known better, he should have known that the usage of "gook" had become more broad. But this was a name that he was used to using to refer to the Viet Kong.

What else do you want me to say about this?? Good grief.

      GH: May 2025 Discussion Thread

      -- Weirdest red carpet ever at the Nurses' Ball. Every conversation was filled with snark and shade or outright insults, and we even got an on-camera arrest of Tracy -- while Congressman Drew (who's never in DC) stood there. I guess it was more interesting than the usual. -- Why did Gio walk the carpet with Joss? -- Sonny is usually escaping mobsters who want to kill him. So of course he accompanies his granddaughter on the carpet. On camera.

      As much as I love the Nurses Ball, the campiness of it all always comes off as strange and a little cringey, because GH isn't often like that. But whatevs, I'm looking forward to seeing what happens. The surprise with Kai was kinda sweet. I wish they had spent more time on that, and given us more of Trina's POV, instead of rushing through it and talking more about his surgery.  But yeah, poor Gio. He really should've escorted Emma instead of Joss

       I'm looking forward to seeing him perform though  And, poor Tracy too. She will never be the bad guy in this whole situation with Sonny, Drew, etc., no matter how Chris and Elizabeth (or Frank) choose to write it. Btw, since this is the Nurses Ball, where the hell is Nurse Liz?

      Considering that a soap opera hasn't been launched in over 25 years, I think the show is doing well. In 2025, you're not going to get a soap opera on the level of soaps you watched before the 1990s for a variety of reasons. - All scenes are filmed out of order.  No longer do shows do the live to tape process. - No longer are there rehearsals before filming the episodes. - Most of the greats retired/passed away without teaching a lot of the new generation how to produce or write a soap opera in the pre 2000 way. Also, this isn't filmed where soap operas were filmed so the show is using local talent that is hitting it out of the park.  It reminds me of the CBN soap Another life that used local talent in the Virginia beach area. Lastly, soaps take several months to get going.. and I think the show is in good shape after 56 episodes (at least compared to other soaps that started in the late 80s and 90s like Generations, SunSet Beach, Passions, etc)

      Cool, thank you for the perspective - helps me appreciate the story more. Totally makes sense - we know BB was so frustrated with the state of the show after its first 6 months that he was ready to cancel it.

      I couldn't agree more. It's all subjective.

      It should be better for a show airing in 2025. But that's just my take.
