The Furious Spinner

So first, I wish Russ Feingold was running for president. But I'm just tickled Dennis Kucinich is running again. I can't think of anything I disagree with him about. Regular readers will remember that our peace group brought Kucinich to our area during the last presidential race. He wants a Department of Peace. I've always liked that. Obama is too inexperienced and too conservative. Clinton has gone too far to the right, at least for now, plus the rightwing just hates her. I heard Tom Vilsack on Air America, and I really liked him, too, but I haven't heard enough yet about where he stands on issues.

Yes, it's three a.m. and I'm awake, and it is pouring down pissing down rain like you wouldn't believe. Like I can hardly believe and I've lived here for almost two decades. This is some kind of rain. And I'm awake. Awake, awake, awake. Not Thelma and Louise awake. Just awake. I'm watching Gypsy. Man, Natalie Wood is gorgeous. But then, I always lusted after her. I remember once seeing Inside Daisy Clover in the middle of the night when I was a teenager and I was just sure whoever wrote that movie must have known me, or known who I was going to be since I was ten years old when it came out. (Now Natalie is doing that wonderful strut down the runway while saying, "Let me...entertain you..." to that great drumbeat as she's taking off her clothes.) Anyway, I don't know why I related to Daisy Clover. I never wanted to be a movie star or run off with Robert Redford, but she was so sad, and I always related to sad world-weary girls. Funny.

I should try to sleep again.

Ta!

I'm glad Kucinich is running, too. I'll vote for a Democrat, but Kucinich is the only one that I would currently vote happily for.
