He kind of seemed human, in a eerie, zombie-like sort of way.

The rest of the zombies were at the Republican party in the City of Industry. When myself and my wife were the only ones to applaud Tom's speech and the rest of the zombies there just stared blankly... Grr. No, I did not support Tom, but damn it, he's a fellow Republican, he said some fine words, and he deserves recognition of them.

After leaving, it was great - cars honking on the way home, people cheering, giving victory signs to eachother along the road. Just random people, driving along. There was just a single Arnold bumper sticker in that parking lot, on the road there were dozens... I didn't understand what most people here meant by country club Republicans. I had missed them along the way.. Tonight I met them, and tonight, they made me sick.

Tell me about it. They are like rudderless ships tossed about the sea...

I took a trip over to the Century Plaza, just got back (it's about 7 minutes away). Only those on the guest list could get down into the ballroom. Didn't feel like hanging out by the big screens upstairs. Boy, was there a traffic jam to get down to the ballroom, then there was the wait to get through security before they could get into the ballroom. There is probably still a large horde waiting to get in there. I thought Arnold would have to hold up his appearance until they could fill it up.

I'm as sick as you are. They gave us the sip and the sup, looked at us like we were trash - after all, we were merely the people who worked our butts off to get voters into the polls - and then disregarded us as below their notice. They were too busy being mobile corpses.

I want a real party. I want to get together with people who cheer for the fact that the Republicans got together and kicked some major butt, who realize just how good it is to get Davis out of office. I want to be able to applaud without having someone sniff disdainfully at me for interrupting their precious nothingness.

And I want a grasshopper, a good Arnold speech, and bed. :)
