I didn’t watch it. I watched a movie with the Oz couple and The Gary.

MindOverMary watched and thought that McCain looked bumbling and angry and Obama looked cool and collected.

The “snap” polls by CBS, CNN and Fox all showed that those watching also gave the debate to Obama, although pundits said it was McCain’s best performance so far.

The problem for McCain is that we met Joe the Plumber about 26 times but not even Ayers and ACORN and the kitchen sink and the rest of the plumbing didn’t knock Obama off his game. The GOP is left in the misery of defending Indiana, North Carolina, Virginia, Florida and even North Dakota and Georgia, all reliably Republican states that gave Bush as much as a 20 point victory, and even if they succeed they still lose the presidential election. Hell, there’s a one in three chance of the Democrats winning a filibuster-proof Senate and a better than even chance of having at least 57 Senators. Things don’t look any better for Republicans in the House of Representatives where they are very likely to lose another 15-20 seats over and above the losses they sustained in 2006.

Mom, who is a McCainiac, thinks I write too much about politics, she said in a call today after reading the last post. I bet she isn’t the only one.

So, what else?

The Oz couple, on Mrs. Oz’s fall break, leave Thursday afternoon for beautiful Miami, Fla., to visit the fabulous KW. Bon Voyage!

I had a great time Monday night at the Gold Dome listening to jazz and hearing a variety of young musical artists strut their stuff. About 9:30 p.m., the youngsters from OCU crowd the place and there’s table after table of gorgeous young women gabbling and young men drooling over them, which is fun to watch from the sidelines.

I’ve been “moonlighting” as a figure model quite a bit this month, doing gigs at OCU and Los Milagros Studio and printshop.

I have a party invitation for Oct. 24 that I’m looking forward to, although I’ll be going stag.

My daughter’s blog, Mom-A-Tron, featured my grandchildren being cute as can be lately and it made me just laugh out loud (not LOL, laugh out loud as in really and literally).

Sinatra is totally unconcerned with politics and is putting on fat and a very thick coat, which makes me think this winter could be a cold one. He’s also been sleeping in and waking up grumpy despite me telling him that’s my job and I’ve got it covered.
