Our stretch of hot miserable weather has finally ended. Not that it’s exactly cold out, but it’s a hell of a lot better. When the cooler air came through last night, it of course sparked some storms. Although the lightning didn’t see to be too bad at our place, it didn’t keep the power from going out. I don’t know how long it was out, but Bill Maher didn’t record. I suppose I could watch it on HBO GO, but I saw that Grover Norquist was on, and I really have no desire to listen to that sniveling piece of shit. So unless somebody tells me it wasn’t totally unbearable to watch, I think I’ll pass.

So I guess Obama spoke about shooting black kids and stuff yesterday, in a speech that most people (other than Fux News) thought was very moving. I didn’t see or hear any of, mostly because I was working and also because I really can’t stand to listen to him anymore. All I can think of is that he’s mostly full of shit – at least when he’s talking about not spying on us and stuff. I’m just kind of over him. I only hope we don’t wind up with Peter King or worse next time around (not that I can imagine what “worse” than Peter King would be – maybe Louie Gohmert or Ted Cruz or something).

I’m kind of pulling for Joe Biden. Not that I think his policies would be radically different than Obama’s (I do think he’d be an improvement, though), but at least he’s fun to listen to. And he comes across as a nice guy (and by all accounts of his neighbors when he was going to law school here, he and his first wife were great people). I don’t really know who else is out there, other than Hillary who everybody assumes has the nomination locked up if she decides to run. She’s only 65 right now, though it seems like she’s a lot older. I guess that’s because she and Bill were so damn young and have been around for what seems like forever.

Oh well, time to get out there and seize the day.
