I'm ashamed of my home state for re-electing Mitch McConnell and voting for John McCain. I am glad of my home CD for returning John Yarmuth to Congress.

Nationally, I was satisfied. We made gains in the Senate and the House.

And, of all things, we took back the White House with the Obama-Biden ticket.

To those that didn't think that Obama would be good for Israel, they were proven wrong today when Rahm Emanuel accepted the offer to serve as Chief of Staff in the Obama administration. I belong to the same shul as Emanuel does and got to daven with him over the High Holidays.

Who called it? That's right I did!

Mark said, and I quote: "Don't ever count on the Phillies."

Okay, so you know where I stand on this, right?

Rosh HaShanah started this week and I've been offline a lot as a result.

On Friday, I did see Ghost Town and personally, Kristen Wiig stole every scene she was in. She has a tendency to do that, IMHO.

I'm a victim of the current economic conditions so I'll be taking the next Second City session off. It doesn't help that acting 2 is on Shabbas but it will return to Sundays in January. I'll start the comedy writing cl.l.a.s.s then as well.

I've found it very easy as far as staying shomer on Shabbas.

It's been a while now, hasn't it?

I'm still job searching in this economy, which has been flushed down the toilet...

It's not nice at all. I need income and revenue, folks!

With free movie tickets, I've seen two movies this month: Tropic Thunder and Pineapple Express. I have two more free movie tickets to use. That and going to shul pretty much accounts for my social life these days.

I do share with you this interview I conducted, It's a good read and it's with a big name out their in the comedic world.

I'm in town. I had my first class at Second City yesterday, which was very fun.

In the meantime, a huge shout out to the Men's 4x100 freestyle relay team. They were awesome yesterday!

And yes, I've enjoyed getting lost, too.
