• Left Right and Center is pissing me off again. They are still Kinda Center, Leftists and Pinko in my book. The guy who is supposed to be conservative says the Taliban is stronger than ever. Prove it. The main debate on the show this week was how Obama might loose his campaign if he doesn't move to the center, and that any move is inevitable and necessary to win.

They were mid calf length or so.One had long hair and the other had short hair.  It made me think about how few young women I see on a day to day basis waring skirts. I miss women waring skirts and long hair. Maybe they will make a come back.
  
• I worked on one script all day. I wrote it and then tested it. Then, I checked it in. I'll find out tomorrow that it doesn't work. Until then, I bask in a minor sense of accomplishment.
