I’ve posted a collection of Fall Photos from this year, including the one pictured above. This fall has been pretty busy, so I didn’t have the time to do a proper survey of the color. However, I captured a bit of what Macon had to offer this year. Enjoy.

GA Results: the Day After
During the early results, I was embarrassed by GA: McCain seemed to have a significant early lead. However, as the night went one, that gap slowly narrowed. Georgia did ultimately go to McCain, but there are a number of islands of blue in that sea of red — more than in 2004.
Also, a runoff between Chambliss and Martin is rumored. Like McCain’s early numbers, Chambliss appeared to have Martin on the run, but those numbers are now too tight to call. If Chambliss does not get 50%, then a runoff is required by law.
Finally, Jim Marshall was able to hold his seat in the House, no small feat for a Dem in Central Georgia. Way to go, Jim!

I’m very proud of my country tonight. I can’t help but think Norman Mailer would be, too.

I Can’t Keep Up
I can’t keep up with everything that’s going on. I’m in the middle of a couple of projects, so I really haven’t had time to write, not that anyone reads my blog anyway.
Still, Palin is messing up again, and it has not escaped the media. Finally, the conservative, right-wing media is showing McCain’s running mate choice is not a good one. Her interview with Katie Couric could have gone better. I won’t say anymore; the video speaks for itself.
Oops, that was SNL, but you get the idea.
Does anyone else think John McCain treated Obama poorly during the first debate? He wouldn’t look at or listen to him. Obama is being criticized for agreeing with some of McCain’s points, while the latter sounded like a broken record: “What Obama obviously doesn’t understand…” Well, it seemed to me that Obama understood very well, and that you don’t know how to listen, McCain. You were an arrogant jerk, and I can’t imagine you as our president. Haven’t we had enough of that with Dubya? Do we really want our president to become hostile and defensive to folks who don’t agree with him? Haven’t we had enough of that with Dubya? Despite with the pundits in the elitist conservative media say: Obama was cool, gracious, smart, and victorious.
Now, they’re saying that Palin could actually win the VP debate if Biden talks down to her? Are you kidding me?

Free Levi
Bill Maher’s new rule:
If we can’t, after all is said and done, make this election go the right way, at least we can save one man. I’m talking about young Master Levi Johnston. He’s the 18-year-old Alaskan hockey enthusiast who knocked up Sarah Palin’s daughter, and the National Enquirer describes him as “a boozing pot-smoker who doesn’t want to get married” — and John McCain thinks he found his soul mate!
We’ve all recently seen how evil henchman of the Republican party captured this poor innocent out of his natural habitat and forced him into a shotgun wedding, all so that their campaign narrative of fake family values could be upheld. When the 17-year-old daughter of the vice presidential candidate running on the Jesus ticket is “out to here,” it’s just better that Levi was introduced as the “fiancé.” Looks a little less white trashy.
