i was on a bit of a vacation

There was some family business to take care of in socal so I kinda went out there to take care of it.
'But don't they have the internet in socal too?'
Yeah, but it gets kind of complicated and all my reasons are better left unsaid.
'Oh. O.K.'

Anyways just wanted to drop one impression/thought...

John McCain reminds me a lot of Bob Dole in a number of physical ways

Generally stiff, like he has a stick up his ass. He walks alright, but his arms are held a bit stiffly as he walks. Maybe this is a sad result of his having been tortured as a P.O.W., but he's stiff in so many other ways that I don't feel guilty calling him stiff.
Smiles seem very thin lipped, tight, and forced.
He has a wooden demeanor ever since he started his presidential campaign. The criticism they used to use both against Dole and Gore. He's far less charismatic now than when he was the "maverick".

Anyways, I just wanted to clown on McCain a bit since all the news pundits are pummeling him for stuff that really manners like having no clue how Joe Nobody like me feels about anything or how we live.
