About gimble

I've never understood why solitary confinement is considered a punishment. My favorite time of year is when vacation forces me to drive long hours on the overnight stretch, all other companions in the car asleep, my thoughts and the dark stretch of white-striped road all to myself. Having said that, I can happily keep busy inside my head, yet am distracted by so much of the larger world that I waste time putting those thoughts generated by those distractions down on cyber-paper. Maybe I want to see if anyone else feels likewise. Though not as bright, sharp or hard as a diamond, I am many faceted - esoteric in my literature, tending toward magic realism - pop-culture vulturish in my take on media - sentimental enough to cry at dog food commercials - and a lover of kitsch, like diners and other holes in the wall of life.

Ron Paul 2 – what’s the fuss

I saw his photo,
read his bio. Still don’t get
this Ron Paul man-love.

Barack Obama 2 – busta move

The man can dance. (Saw
him on “Ellen.”) Think of the
inaugural ball.

Hillary Clinton 2 – public opinion

Electable? That
question dogs her campaign. She
inspires love – or hate.

John Edwards

Poverty platform
and expensive haircuts? Your
wife should run instead.

Fred Thompson.

No Ronald Reagan.
Stay on TV. Too bad your
friend’s a drug dealer.

John McCain

Good man, but why did
he sell his soul to the Bush
Administration?

Rudy Giuliani

He doesn’t walk the
Republican Party line.
Gotta admire that.

Mitt Romney

I don’t know whether
to vote for him or put him
on and go play ball.

Barack Obama

Barack Obama.
Another candidate whose
name fits on one line.

Hillary Clinton

Hillary Clinton.
I like a candidate who’s
name fits on one line.
