I was on the road most of the day, driving up to New Haven for a meeting, and therefore without internet, without fifteen minute interval glimpses at nytimes.com.
Driving back in rain and traffic, I wondered: Why am I so relaxed? Why don't I feel like I'm about to have a heart attack a week before the election?
It's because I didn't know that the stock market continued its manic behavior. I didn't know that McCain and Obama were just 100 miles apart. I didn't know that General Motors was begging for a federal loan so it can buy Chrysler. I didn't know that two white supremists were picked up with plans to hurt Obama. I didn't know that consumer confidence was at an all time low. Or that the insane docu-propaganda film "Obsession," which I've seen on John Hagee, the tele-evangelist's, Sunday morning hour, was released to thousands of Jews in Pennsylvania.
No, I feel sane, but soon I will be watching Keith Olbermann and Rachel Maddow, and I will return to my hyper state!!!
