Even Rod Stewart will be tuning in to tonight's Presidential debate, although from all the negative ads he may be expecting to see a crazy old coot and a terrorist. Sorry to disappoint, but it's just McCain/Obama II, which will likely go down in heavyweight history as "THE THRILLA IN NASHVILLA". The more each goes negative, the more they hurt YOU AND ME, the average seafaring American Cap'ns of the world. It's almost like the lead-up to a championship fight. You know, the kind where they do a big staredown before the debate. Maybe somebody will throw a punch while their handlers hold them back, or whack the other guy with the title belt. OK, so the United States doesn't currently have a title belt. I think that's EXACTLY what America needs, a big, gold, gaudy jewel-encrusted title belt, saying "The Prez" on it with a bald eagle and some lightning bolts. How impressive would THAT be to wear to the United Nations? Huh? I'll tell you how impressive -- Danged impressive! Maybe that sounds a little too WWE for most folks, but with the current tone of both campaigns, it would fit right in to Vince McMahon's world on steroids. How about we just address the issues, instead of slinging stank cheese across the stage all night, boys?
Gentlemen: In the spirit of Nashville
Bring us some Faith (Hill) in your leadership, to con-Vince (Gill) us that you're the right man for the job, and quit being such a Rascal (Flatts). Give us some (George) Strait talk, on how you'll solve our (Keith) Urban crisis, and maybe your honesty will get you enough votes to Carrie (Underwood) you through to the Big Chair in November. Garth (Brooks) Darn it anyway, we're tired of hearing you both Wyn (onna Judd) about this and that! We are just about (Brooks and) Dunn with all this negative politicking. Just show up tonight in your best (Clint) Black suit, with your lucky (Brad) Paisley undies on, and talk the talk we want to hear, so we don't feel we're all in a (Kellie) Pickle (r) together.
I'm Proud To Be An American - God Bless The U.S.A!
On the travel front, Northwest Airlines appears to be another casualty of the economics of our times, as Delta is swallowing them up in a merger. Competition is getting further and further diminished, but maybe as gas prices continue downward the airlines can finally figure out a way to make a profit and keep our lives steady-as-she-goes. If you've been postponing a getaway because of airfare prices, there are some nice little dips taking place in certain markets. Feel free to give us a call about a vacation package - after all you've been through, you deserve it and you need it. Plus it'll make you feel Big And Rich!
Here's an interesting story about someone finding a note in a bottle after 35 years, left behind on a cruise by an 11 year old:

In a related story, the note also included an admission that the kid had broken into his Dad's liquor cabinet several times, and cheated on a Social Studies test. Upon learning this, his Mother recently sent the 46-year old to bed without his supper....
