Early Election Peaking

Have you ever noticed that some candidates for elected office do extremely well too early in a race, and then fizzle before the actual election?

Evil Republican Conspiracy
With the Larry Craig scandal, the Alberto Gonzales and Tony Snow resignations, and the upcoming Petraeus report on Iraq, I've got a theory that the republicans are just trying to get all this crap out of the way well in advance of the election next year, so they might have some chance of letting the democratic candidate fizzle.

Okay, so maybe I'm just paranoid.

Also, one last thing on Larry Craig. A good friend suggested something that tickled my funny bone.

He said, wouldn't it be funny if Craig really wasn't cruising in that airport bathroom at all, and was really telling the truth that he's not gay and never has been? After all his hateful rhetoric and voting record in the senate, that would be even more divine justice in my book.

Oh...one other thing related to Larry Craig...did anyone else think that the picture of Sgt Karsnia looked somewhat like a young actor, Ron Eldard?



Current Knitting
I didn't get much done on the second Kaffe sock over the weekend.



You will note, however, that I am making the second sock to match the striping on the first sock. It amazed me how much yarn is wasted when doing this, but I wanted to try it at least.

I did get a lot more done on the crochet lace tablecloth.



In addition to filling in all the spaces between the stars, I also added five more stars and their corresponding filler emblems.
