Hey all,
Today I met a few other Grad students at a bar called the Stag, a tiny dive bar on YES Main St., to watch the VP debates. The bar consisted of the four of us educated folk… and a few others at the other end of the bar..maybe not so educated. I watched with horror as Palin argued for the wonder of the trickle down theory, quoted Regan on several occasions, and smiled brightly at the camera claiming to be part of Main St. middle America. I need to ask you.. since when is Alaska middle America. As far as I knew it was up on the top, closer to Russia then Georgia/Nebraska/Missouri.. you know those states right in the middle. In fact the on thing this woman was able to say with strong commitment was that she did not agree with Gay marraige. Well thank you for clearing that up! and by the way shame on you Biden for not supporting gay marraige. At least didn’t say Talibanies!!!!
Well not a huge shock… for a month this woman has been training for this debate. She should at least be able to string a few words together. I mean hey, she did preside over Alaska as Governor… what they have all of 15,000 people?? We have more then that in LA.
But on the upside I biked to the Stag..had a few beers.. and biked home without falling over! 
I went to the UC Davis Tri team meeting… it had a lot of very young undergrads, very interested in hearing themselves speak… but the coach seemed great… a team in training coach who will coach me on running, biking and swimming… So I get two weeks to work out with them and I get to see how I like it….
We shall see…..
Have a great day
Erin
