I was talking to my buddy Skye from Midnight Blue and she was in a terrible mood because of the bailout and the way the GOP seems to be tanking prior to the election.

As I tried to make her feel better, tongue planted firmly in cheek, I said "Hey, want me to put up a post on RWN asking people to help cheer you up?" She promptly jumped on the idea like my dog Patton would jump on a squirrel stuffed with Alpo.

So, here we are -- and if you're so inclined, Skye could use some cheering up in the comments section.
