UPDATE: Some of you have been asking how my home-made surfboard is coming. Well, that's still up in the air at this point, but it's beginning to look like a surfboard. Pix here, if you are interested. Bending the wood for the rails, and then figuring how to clamp them were real brain teasers.
I was flippin' through the channels, and came upon what appeared to be a Trans Siberian Orchestra concert. A lot of glitz, confetti, pyrotechnics, and an overture playing, while people stood upon a high-rise stage that resembled the Colosseum, or a great religious temple. Wow! I thought. What a spectacle.
And that is what it was. As the camera panned closer, I saw that it was Barack Obama and ensemble. And I thought, "How absurd! Running for Commander-in-Chief of the greatest nation the world has ever known is not a Hollywood production. It's serious business - or should be."
Talk about elitism, and being out of touch with ordinary folks.
Some people have likened Obama to a "rock star", or celebrity, and he finds that offensive. And then he proceeds to prove them correct.
Lord, I hope McCain has more sense and self-restraint than that. Perhaps he should show up at the Republican Convention with a plain ol' soapbox in hand.
My remote has thankfully settled upon Turner Classic Movies, featuring Charleton Heston in Major Dundee. A real Holywood production worth watching.
