Sometimes the day does not allow a blog post let alone write about things on my mind or I hear about like economic, political, local news (sports too).

With Twitter, you at least get some of the flavor, a flash moment during the day, of what I am thinking about. You can follow during the day or see the digest below.

October 2, 2008

• Pitt upsets #10 South Florida on the road. Another ranked team loses on ESPN Thursday night game.
• My 13 undecided's: Nothing new except 1 to new choices and all watched. Obama 2. McCain 1. Undecided 7. 3 (including me) want new choices
• #vpdebate Palin, I hope someone does a word check and if so, how may times did she use the word "also"? And then as a noun, verb, adjective?
• #vpdebate Palin did not lose. Biden did not win. Nothing changes. More wasted time.
• #vpdebate while historic this debate sucks just like Obama/McCain. Blah, blah, blah. Nothing new. Pitt 17 and #10 South Florida 14 7:11 Q3
• #vpdebate In this debate neither Biden nor Palin meeting the I can be President bar. Although I think Biden can and Palin likely cannot
• #vpdebate Observation: The committed left is pointing out how bad Palin is doing. Where is the "way to go Joe"? Not having good moments?
• #vpdebate 3rd critique. Do you remember that Miss USA candidate with the YouTube moment? Palin flirting with that. Complete sentences please
• #vpdebate My second critique. I have been a fan of Biden's for years but tonight he seems off. Not sure how to describe it.
• #vpdebate My first critique. Palin needs to answer the questions as she believes versus trying to sound smart. Was she over prepped?
• Memo to Biden & Palin: And sucking less than the other is not a win. Must be able to be President at moment's notice.
• Memo to Biden & Palin: Tonight prove you can or cannot be President. That is the only bar you need to reach.

September 29, 2008

• Hypocrisy: Have yet to see one “D” slam Pelosi for the speech or one “R” slam the 12 so called yes votes going no. Partisanship at its best
• Seeing @megcanada at Lund's and a new of season Chuck makes up for a Chicago White Sux victory and the idiots in D.C.

• #debate08 Sad commentary on performance. Obama still standing and seems ready. McCain does not blow gasket or put foot in mouth. That’s good?
• #debate08 I have 12 undecided's plus me: 2 to Obama. 1 to McCain. 4 undecided. 4 stopped watching. 2 (including me) want new choices.
• #debate08 Every expert/commentator has said exactly what they as a partisan have been saying. Their guy was good. The other was off his game
• #debate08 Yeah for Twitter. For the most part it held up. A little slow but it did survive.
• #debate08 An honest question did anyone learn anything new tonight? Did anyone change their mind? Did anyone choose? I doubt it.
• #debate08 I can predict what every commentator on every channel will say. Not worth watching. I miss Tim Russert now more than ever :(
• #debate08 This debate was not needed but for a different reason. Blah, blah, blah. The only ones who demanded this was those already decided
• #debate08 OK I am sorry, I may have to use Twitter. Obama & McCain, please, answering the f'ing question. I am sorry but still not impressed
• Dear Obama & McCain: Please give me a reason to vote for you rather than against the other guy. Give me something to believe in. Thanks :)
• I will not Twitter during the debate | I will not Twitter during the debate | I will not Twitter during the debate | I WILL Twitter after

September 25, 2008

• Oregon State beats, BEATS, #1 USC
• 1st place Minnesota Twins!!!
• WTF? So the Democrats agree with President Bush on the bailout. The Republicans to hold Wall St. “accountable”. Invasion of Body Snatchers?
• NO NO NOO! Larry King has MN Rep Michelle Bachmann on a panel. I am calling her "Grinster". Holds the same pose I think her cheeks must hurt
• CNBC: FDIC seizing Washington Mutual and selling deposits to JP Morgan
• If Capitol Hill did not need Obama or McCain to work on the bailout then maybe neither should be President. Maybe they are not qualified

• A poll I would like to see the results of: Support Obama | Support McCain | Support the guy who sucks less than the other
• Obama 6/10 said that it's not realistic for him to attend 10 town hall meetings while doing other campaign activities. He cannot multi task?
• View from the middle: Obama did not want to do town hall meetings. But now this debate on national security is top priority? I am confused
• View from the middle: Curious, why not postpone the debate? Does it absolutely have to happen Fri? Are all days of the next 40+ taken?
• Petters Group: Channel 5 saying focus is on one of the financial entities owned. Not Sun Country, Fingerhut, or Polaroid.

• Recruiting Roadshow will be in Dallas 9-25 and Silicon Valley 10-23. For more info www.recruitingroadshow.com
• Thinking about new photo: Went from me, to character of me, to Goldy Gopher, and now Peace sign. Suggestions? Anything going on this week?
• Feels like St. Paul and Minneapolis relaxing a bit, finally. Hear many neighbors in North Loop going out tonight to take back their bars.

• Dem's enough about the Clinton surplus. It was a bubble, not sustainable and it burst. Would have busted if Bush or Gore as Pres
• Some Rep's not being polite about Kennedy. Wonder if Nancy Reagan gave a speech and Dem's replied the same way. The middle is a lonely place
• Received an email from 2 friends, one a Rep and one a Dem. They reminded me the only thing in the middle is a dashed line and road kill
• Lots of DM's let me try this. OK, if Bush logic was false and if it is also for Obama and if McCain more of the same. We really are SCREWED
