Now that the presidential debates between Barack Obama and John McCain are over, let me ask this: Did either one really answer the questions posed to them during those debates? During the final one, my Mom made the comment: "They didn't answer the question. Neither one."
Besides this sidestepping of questions, I'm tired of the slinging of mud that Obama and McCain have been doing (as well as other political candidates, overall). I was pleasantly surprised that the other U.S. senator from Illinois, Dick Durbin, spoke only about himself during his TV spots as part of his re-election campaign. No mud-slinging, no being Mr. Nasty. What a refreshing change.
I'm so tired of hearing the campaign speeches. Let us get to the election, please.
Sheesh.
So what's the deal here?
Welcome to the blog of Gwen, photographer/comic trapped in the body of an occasionally mild-mannered (but tenacious and dedicated) Reference Assistant. This is my effort to explore the true meaning of the 23 things designed to help us learn (master would be a bit too much for me to expect) Web 2.0.

Here's me
- Gwen--23(things)skidoo
- Mt. Prospect, Illinois
- Now that you ask, it's hard to put into words. Reserved at first, but tend to warm up with time. Hope never to lose my sense of humor... or my curiosity. A true wiseguy (there is another word that begins with an "s") pretty much since I could talk... Planning one of these days to return to the piano. Fascinated by the many ironies in (and of) life.
(Some of) my favorite things
- Cross Creek (old flick)
- Educating Rita (old flick)
- Julia (old flick)
- On the Waterfront (quite old flick)
- Out of Africa (old flick)
- The Verdict (I think this was my favorite Paul Newman movie.)
