Election nailbiters
Since 5:00 this evening, I've been glued to the tv and internets, hoping to find out what is going on. How many times to you have to click the "refresh" button on your browser before you get more information from CNN? Man, what did people do in olden times when it took DAYS to count the ballots. I remember when I was in Norway during the presidential elections of 1992. That's the year that Clinton defeated Bush, Sr. I remember having two goldfish in our apartment, one named Bill and one named George. We all thought it was a sign that George Bush, Sr. was going to be reelected because Bill (the fish) died. Well, when we woke up, we saw that that wasn't the case. Afterward, the mission president solemnly told us that since the American people had elected a draft-dodging drug-user that the Apocalypse was right around the corner. Well, that didn't exactly pan out--and we even replaced one draft-dodging drug-user with another draft-dodging drug-user! Who in the world could we elect to hasten the Reckoning? Maybe Donald Trump?

If it had been George Jr. we would have known what happened to Bill. George Jr. would have claimed Bill had bubbles of mass destruction, and then "liberate" Bill's fish castle. Then if any fish contested Jr. would ask "why do you hate the bowl?"
I remember that comment, but I think you relayed it to me after you got home. Sometimes it makes you wonder who is voting, doesn't it? I mean, "the Terminator" for governor? Did people really elect him on his politics? I am not sure, I have only been here a couple months, and now this headline...."Schwarzenegger Earns Sequel As Governor".
I wonder what fish he would be?
