Sunday, October 19 8:40pm Dear Diary, Am relieved to see that Sarah Palin did not get as much time on SNL as I had expected. In fact, she hardly said or did anything. And for her big spiel at the end, she had Amy Poehler rapping her part. Pathetic. I would have done it. Rapping can’t be too hard, right? Should look into this for next campaign move… In other news, just came out with big statement where I talked about how racism will be a big issue in this election. It's been said before, but I needed to say it too. Haven't had a lot of time in the spotlight lately, so felt this was the best way to say something shocking and hopefully profound. Am hoping it will be reported in significant papers as insightful… Also hoping that it doesn’t lead people to not vote for Obama after reading that… Did not clear statement with David, but am hoping it will encourage others to go out and vote. Beginning to sound like Obama with all this "hope" in my diary... Until next time, Joe
