No Worries

My new resolution is to relax and stop worrying.  I've been following the campaigns pretty closely because I've been worried about the ill effects of Socialist government that we will all suffer if Obama and his Democrat Senate retain power. 

Now that the election is in sight, it's time to relax and put such worries aside.  What's the worst they can do to us? Take all our money, take away our ability to travel, take away our ability to earn a living. Brand us as radicals dangerous to the new, radically transformed America and throw us in prison. Execute us.

Whatever happens, bring it on.  I'm pretty sure the worst fears won't be realized, but I'm also pretty sure many of the other fears have already come to pass and will continue to build in the next 4 years under a continued Obama/Reid/Leftist Supreme Court.  Some folks I've met or heard talk think Romney will prove to be no better, but I have hopes he has the potential to be this generation's Reagan.

So I'm skipping tonight's debate.  There's nothing I expect to learn from watching, and think I could predict the general direction of the debate anyway.  Obama will atempt to paint Romney as some sort of Bush clone who will rush into foreign wars that will further deplete our young peoples' lives and piles of money we don't have.  Romney will hit Obama as unserious about security, hostile to America's friends and obsequious and weak in front of our enemies.

If tonight's debate tips the election one way or the other, I'd be very surprised.  It seems more likely to me that Romney will allay fears of folks who lean toward Obama because they fear war.  But I doubt either candidate will swing the tiny undecided vote in their favor.

Congratulations to the Indiana Fever, finally the WNBA champs!

Notre Dame is still undefeated.  Will Oklahoma bring that string to an end?

My South Carolina Gamecocks are on a steep slide, losing their second in a row by a big margin to Florida.  Too bad they've lost their offense and their defense has stumbled.

The Colts got an ugly victory against Cleveland this weekend to go 3-3.  They'll need to get a lot better if they have any hope of making the playoffs this year.

I hear the Columbus North soccer team's going to the Indiana State Final.  Maybe this is finally their year to break through, after so many trips that ended at Semi-State.

Finally, let's wait to see if Columbus East can get all the way through to the State Football Final in Lucas Oil Stadium.
