I haven't written on my blog for awhile. Between the holidays and work commitments, I haven't had the time or energy to write. Today though, I guess I just need to let off a little bit of steam.
Living in Delaware, home of Joe Biden, has been extremely depressing this past week. The Obama train is coming from Philadelphia to Wilmington Delaware today to "pick up" Joe Biden at the Wilmington Train Station en route to DC. The entire tristate area is in a frenzy awaiting the arrival of the great messiah Obama. Business is at a stand-still. My colleague had to take the Amtrak to NY from Wilmington on Thursday and all the parking garages were closed in the area. Why did they close them on Thursday when he wasn't coming until Saturday? Parking right across from the train station and walking over is unsafe on a good day, so thanks to the closings, my colleague had to park blocks away and walk (which was very scary for her). Bleachers are being installed at a park near the train station for this "historic" event. If I hear the local news media beaming about "his historic journey to Washington" one more time, I think I'll scream.
My husband wanted to go to Wilmington to see Biden off with a HUGE poster saying "Good Riddance Joe" but we would fear for our very lives if we did that. (Of course, we wouldn't really do it, but it is fun to think about).
It is bitter cold in our area today (8 degrees) and the news media is instructing all the "spectators" attending this "historic" event on how to dress to avoid hypothermia. (Well.....I guess those who voted for Obama aren't too bright so the instruction is probably warranted). 30th Street Station in Philadelphia is also pretty much "locked down" today. This is a huge train station and a main stop for the Amtrak trains so I can't imagine how that will impact travel today for "regular folk". But.....all for a good cause......after all......this is a "historic event" before the "coronation" of "the anointed one." Pulllleeeeezzzze - give me a break.
Sorry for all the sarcasm - I'm normally not this sarcastic but I reached my boiling point watching the drive-by media this week - I honestly thought they were going to break out in song with Kumbaya (don't laugh....it could happen).
How many more days until the next election??? (1389 - YIKES). Keep praying!

I know the feeling. This past summer when Obama came to town (Elkhart, Indiana), it was crazy around here. I was sitting in a local coffee shop when Obama's bus and entourage came through. The place went crazy. Everyone ran to the windows and out the door to catch a glimpse of the man himself. I can only imagine it being even worse now that he is the soon-to-be president. How many days till the next election?
