What's Up with McCain's Concession Speech

Is it just me or did McCain sound racist in his concession speech? It sure seemed to me that he over focused on Obama's race. What the h%^* does a candidate's race have to do with anything?

Did the 3rd Debate Change Your Vote?

After watching the 3rd debate my choice for President has not changed. What about your choice? BEFORE YOU ANSWER HERE'S THE RULE FOR PARTICIPATING IN THIS BLOG: DO NOT SAY, INDICATE OR OTHERWISE INTIMATE WHO YOU ARE VOTING FOR. What I am interested in is whether or not the debate actually changed opinions, strengthened already existing opinions or had no affect. Got it?

Political Polls or How Do You Spell Libertarian

This evening I got a call from 999-999-9999/Out of Area (per my caller ID). I was skeptical but feeling feisty after a particularly grueling day at work so I answered. Too bad for the caller. It was a political poll taker and he immediately launched into his questions. Before I had a chance to think he asked my presidential choice - Obama or McCain? I told him (I won't tell you because it's not germane to my post). Then he asked about my gubernatorial choice - Daniels or Long-Thompson. But by th… Continue

The Magical Worlds of Andrea Merlyn and Madame Esmerelda

I had fun tonight at my 6th show of the Fringe season. The magicians I sat with had fun tonight. The other Fringe actors I sat with had fun tonight. Taylor Martin had fun tonight. And what makes this last comment amazing magical is that after the revealing light at the beginning of the last show (you'll have to read the blog on the last show) a trick went bad tonight but yet Andrea picked back up… Continue

A Day at Indy Fringe

Lorraine and I spent about 12 hours at the Fringe Festival on Saturday which gave us plenty of time to see, hear, taste and experience the annual Mass Ave event. We saw 5 plays, 2 music acts, 1 street performer, 1 Indian dancer (or should I say, dancer from India), Erik Deckers and many, many other friends. We ate at Yats,… Continue

Thank you Andrew! I truly enjoyed myself when I was there and look forward to visiting the Center more often in the future. I hope you will watch 3 of the other videos I put on SI on another event I attended at Franklin College. It's called Imagination, memory and Identity.

Hi Andy, I never did get a chance to take Stuart out for tenderloins, but when I talked to him, I mentioned that, and he said they're coming back to Indy, and will make time to do that.

Hi Andy, sure. I just put it in. And the arm pit cure? I don't know...I think its one of two things: Either he knows how much I love Christmas and it pours out of him :) or he chooses deoderants that specifically smell like Christmas. Either way, I am a happy girl!

Hey Andy, thanks for the heads up on the other B.Lott. Of course, I am the original and the best! Humble too! I want to let you and Lorraine know to go and check out the show ON THE RAG, HEAVY FLOW, at the Phoenix Theater. It is part of Indy Fringe. My Dad is in the show. I posted a little blog spot about it in the group area!
