worried to death....

ok, so.....ran did a bit of christmas browsing, stopped at the library, got my hair cut....and then completed my shopping at the aldi store.....and it was at the aldi's that i bumped into a woman who i know to be a staunch republican.....and the catch-up conversation turned to our mutual exhaustion over the election process, and while i concluded that i was optimistic and psyched.....this poor woman lamented that she is fearful for our safety after january 20....wtf?.......did she not get the part where the woman who would be a heart-beat away is clueless on so many things, including geography.....heck, if palin did get elected she would likely spend her first few months in office trying to get folks who opposed her fired...diplomacy would take a back seat to vengeance...or at least that is how she strikes me...ah well.....it was truly frightening to think that i know someone who cannot sleep at night for fear that obama's terrorist friends will come bashing through her door......
