nothing to report . . . sir!

what can i say . . . it's hard to run a lifestyle and leisure blog when you don't have any money.  oh well.  let's talk about tonight then, shall we.

i invited my mom over to eat dinner with Steph and I.  I made a pot roast with root veggies and red wine and onion gravy.  The food was devilish and the company was good.

while i was cooking, i watched a rerun of the Oklahoma Gubernatorial debates (missed the original in Tahlequah). not going to go into too much detail on the candidates, but i will give my opinions on the few i actually care about.

i'll start with the democratic party since that's where i'm registered.

Jari Askins:  i came into this debate annoyed by her commercials and her big fat head.  however, this lt. governor did a damned good job answering the questions given.

Drew Edmonson:  i really like our attorney general.  i really do.  i'm glad he didn't spend state funds to fight the US government over so many years of precedent on the healthcare case.  i also respect that he doesn't personally like the bill.  i'm a universal healthcare man myself, i think Obama's is a joke (but a step in a right direction).

now on to the GOP.

Mary Fallin:  old lt. governor.  she's been all over in terms of government and really seemed to handle herself well in the debates.

Roger Jackson: good businessman.  he supports opening liquor stores and car dealerships on Sunday.  he also supports medical marijuana.  i don't think he's going anywhere in this state, but he seemed like he might "grow the economy."

by the way . . . on that subject. i hate that term and it seems all of them use it.  grow the economy.  i guess semantically we are saying that the economy is like a plant and all we need is something as simple as water to make it magically as awesome again.  whoever thinks that is on that funky stuff Roger Jackson is selling.  no governor is going to mystically grow this economy.  it's going to take real work.

it's even harder in this state.  we have 39 sovereign tribes to put up with.  good luck in 2010, you goobernatorial candidates!
