In the category of candidate who wasted a lot of money on negative, misleading ads, only to concede VERY early in the evening…
<opens the envelope>
And the winner is… Martin Frost! What do you have to say, Mr. Frost?
â??Well, Pete Sessions is the Devil, and he wants to raise your sales taxes 7000%â?
Uh…. thanks, Martin.
In the category of truly dismal local news coverage, based around clueless anchor-people…
<opens the envelope>
And the winner is… Channel 5! Always a strong player with the clueless ramblings of Mike Snyder, they added an unusually ditsy performance by Jane McGarry. Among the highlights were Ms. McGarry putting California back in play almost an hour after it had been called for Kerry, while not subtracting the electoral votes from the Kerry column. Apparently, due to a unforeseen instant population explosion, California is now worth 110 electoral votes.
In the category of â??best frog voiceâ?…
<opens the envelope>
The winner is Tom Brokaw! (Trust me, if you saw it, you know what I’m talking about :-0 )
More to come if I see anything funny.
For those of you who know me personally, you know that there is one local Texas blues band that I am truly fanatical about… Elvis T. Busboy and the Blues Butchers. I go and see their shows a lot, and play their CDs way TOO often in my car, beating those who are not as fond of that musical style into a pulp.
Guess what? I actually received a e-mail from Mr. Elvis T. himself today, thanking me for the link to their site. So, of course, I’m giving them another one 
This is pretty much the high point of my day. Granted, it hasn’t been a terrific day, but hey, you takes it where you can gets it, right? Now I need to see if I can parlay this into one of the famous “Follow me, I’m having drinks with Elvis!” t-shirts.
That reminds me… where ARE they playing this weekend?
I had not less than 10 things I wanted to post about today. Nothing important, just little stuff that I thought was funny, or worth mentioning.
Now, due to a rather hectic day at work, I have forgotten each and every one. Damn.
Well, now I have an entry as a placeholder to add them, as I think of them.
And yes, I will post the pictures from the last day of the trip eventually.
