Random Thoughts for a Wednesday night

So everyone hates GW, but isn't it a bit ironic that according to Rasmussen polls, Congress has its lowest approval rating in history? Only 9% of Americans think that Congress, widely controlled by the Democrat party, is doing a "good or excellent" job. GW's ratings are quite higher than that.

As of right now, the Braves are having a perfect game pitched against them by Derek Lowe of the Dodgers. Last night, they scored 9 runs. The night before, the Dodgers pitcher took a perfect game into the 8th inning vs. the Braves, and they ended up with one hit. Feast or famine, kind of typical for the season.

I'm still waiting on one person to tell me how Obama is going to live up to his campaign promises, as he keeps changing his stance now that we are in the general election. Gun control, foreign policy, tax policy, campaing finance, yada yada yada. It seems that Mr. Obama and his message of a new type of politics and campaigning is turning into another typical Washington candidate.

Can John McCain really pull this off? I am supporting him 100% over the most liberal Senator in the United States senate, but every time I see him I want to vote for him less and less. I am not really excited about this November.

On a lighter note, my wife and I are racking up the W's in our mixed doubles tennis league. Heading for the city semifinals. Who cares that we are in the lower division, 2.5. In our first season, we have managed to win matches and not kill each other. So far, so good.
