Politics and other things weighing me down

So tonight was the night my fiancee and I sat down for some survivor and Grey's anatomy, typical Thursday goodness. We get through survivor just fine ( good job getting rid of Paloma , Kota)and go to find grey's. Apparently the american and canadian debates are all that's on tv. 900 channels and atleast half of them one of the two debates.


Despite being Canadian we started with the American debate. It was boring and less debating then pimping out the president each Vice supported. They went on about the floundering economy and so we switched. Canadian debated is also going through economy questions.

Bloc leader: I cannot understand more than 4 words from him at a time and one of them happens to be Quebec.

Dion: Trying desperately to defend past liberal screw ups and blame everything else on Harper.

Harper: under serious attack and mostly mumbling about investments and how canada just needs time.

May: First time I've seen here and she seems a bit overly hopefull but full or snark and ideas.

Layton: Spends a lot of time agreeing with may and badgering Harper and Dion.

It's not over yet but already I'm failing to see much of interest being discussed and they all need to learn not to talk over each other.


In other news
Weightloss has succeeded in 3 lbs lost so far. it feels good but it's hard to keep up the momentum. Exercising more is a lot easier than agreeing to eat less. especially when it's chinese takeout night tommorow.

I tagged you for another meme - a book one.

I'm surprised that Canada would show our VP debates. But that's only because our country is so self-centered, the news stations don't show other countries' debates unless we would benefit. Sigh.
