I think the fiasco of the 2000 elections was truly the beginning of a new era in political shenanigans and well all I can say is it will only get better from here. If you were like me, you were hoping that Obama wasn’t going to show up to debate with himself. Moderator Jim Lehrer was probably relieved to see two occupied podiums when the lights went down as well. And if you were like me you were glad you didn’t miss the long awaited first debate after a week of political posturing akin to a p*ssing match like none other in the history of politics (unless you count Hillary’s match with Obama).

Now we can talk the issues but, if you watched the debate like any dutiful citizen then I think I don’t need to reiterate that Obama had the upper hand with the exception that he hadn’t fought in World War I. The pundits clearly think Obama pulled away in the lead and admittedly I do too. All you have to do is sit and wonder at the 90 minutes of McCain staring with a steel like gaze straight ahead trying to control himself from I don’t know what.

If I was assigning bonus points for this round I’d take one away from Obama for the “I have a bracelet too…” not exactly the “I have a dream” speech. Did anyone else hear Dueling Banjos from that point on? In turn I’m giving McCain that bonus point for his quick thinking recovery complete with Christmas references after avoiding Obama’s point to that ridiculous health care plan that gives us $5,000, the number isn’t that big to hide all the tax implications that McCain has spelled out with that plan.

Of course this is all old news after ticking off the parent who gifted the bracelet to Obama and for putting words in Kissinger’s mouth. Tsk, tsk, Obama. Are you ready for Thursday?

Okay, if you think it was too easy to bust on eHarmony, try this guarantee over at Match.com. Find someone special in 6 months or we’ll give you 6 months FREE! Hmm, unless you have 100% turnover every six months, meaning that maybe you’ve matched everybody and married them off, then I don’t see how another 6 months is helpful. Someone is falling short on the special scale if you get my drift.

Meanwhile there is a photo of a near child at best on there who claims to make a mean casserole. And why haven’t you been betrothed already?

Girls this is how it is done…sometime in the midst of your education you nab some good looking guy whom you’ve been stalking, I did this in Kindergarten. Trust me it works. I was very subtle, by our senior year we were dating. He didn’t know what hit him. By the time he was graduating from college, after five years of absence makes the hearts grow fonder, we were ready to tie the knot. He hasn’t been able to get loose for twenty years. How am I doing?

My email provider’s news service likes to share seemingly important advice on a variety of topics. Today they are telling us to learn some things about money from Donald Trump, yeah that will help, now that I have none, and over in Love they are sharing some relationship info from eHarmony Advice.

No, I don’t need any…married almost twenty years thank you very much…but if I’m ever dumped I’m making a mental note right now not to spend any time over at eHarmony since I’m banking on the fact that their advice article titled Dumped? 10 Love Songs that Will Make you Sob is not a good sign (poor web content Feng Shui). But please, if you had to make a choice don’t go to Match.com since Dr. Phil is on my top 10 list of people NOT to take advice from.

So eHarmony…umm I thought you were supposed to be bringing people together. If the topics weren’t bad enough…how about the selections? A few I hadn’t even heard of in relation to “break up” songs. Man, do any of these songs talk about drowning in your beer or something? They did get close to some country music, Ray Charles, Dolly Parton and Patsy Cline, but certainly not the classics…you tell me.

Have no fear, when you are through with that pick me up after your eHarmony dump, you can read Everything I Need to Know About Love I learned from Oldies Radio or The Cheatsheet – 5 New Musical Artists That Matter. Oh that cheat sheet is nice I like the part about how you can find good music today like what you were used to years ago…oh I get it now, I don’t think I need to fill out a profile to figure out the demographics of the eHarmony crowd…oh wait don’t let the part about them sharing 5, FIVE, new artists that matter slip by…that’s about all you can find compared to twenty I mean forty years ago. I thought eHarmony was supposed to help you find your soul mate or something, not match you to today’s new music artists.

Here’s a song for you…Looking for Love in All the Wrong Places…

Hey, I found some more music for BigShoes. You know when I search the web looking for a good topic related to shoes but not having a thing to do with shoes and we end up with music. I know…if you’re aching to buy a pair of shoes there is no doubt a shoe ad available for you so have no fear.

I found the sound of Two Ton Shoe. Two Ton Shoe (TTS) has its roots in the mid 90’s. Yeah, really, can you believe that is over 10 years ago? So the band has roots, none of which I’m vaguely familiar with. Having passed math, back in the day anyway because I’m certainly not going to pass the math my daughter is learning now in school, I’m having a hard time trying to figure how the four guys morphed to Two Ton Shoe from five or more bands and projects. One or more of them was an overacheiver…musicians.

What do I like about them? Well I guess the bio isn’t too far off when it likens them to Kravitz, Steely Dan, Prince and others melded into Two Ton Shoe.

Well what you need to do now is check them out.

Okay, my shoes have been off for a few days but I have to tell you, really I do, that as funny as I found the whole Tina Fey Sarah Palin impersonation, there is nothing more amusing than the few minutes FOX News dedicated to analyzing politics according to the possible effect of Saturday Night Live (SNL) on the popularity of the candidates. Wow, something on television can effect how people choose the president…go figure.

When I step into the booth to vote in November, someone please tell me that there will be a lever to pull to vote for the next media personalities. In fact, here’s an idea, lets not even bother voting for presidents this year…okay, forget I said that…but point being, and this goes way beyond FOX News, these guys are the ones calling the shots. Talk about the pot calling the kettle black. Hello!

So who do you want to watch on FOX News for the next four years? I know some political bloggers at Today.com who could give me more information than these guys.
