Still quiet at home. Guy was supposed to come and wash down our "apron" (the porch-like concrete out front), but didn't. Called and left him a message. Ho-hum.
Got a forwarded (of course) e-mail from a friend as to why everybody should vote for McPalin and cast Obama out. The writer identifies himself as "Joe Porter" of Champaign, Ill. I looked him up and wrote to him to see if he's indeed the originator. Seems more likely to have been written by some Karl Rove operative, as it includes all the cliches, innuendos, and downright lies being circulated about Obama. Propaganda never changes--it's the exact opposite of reasoned and logical argument--and people continue to fall for it.
