I like James Blunt -- I saw him on the Today Show and he's cute and snarky.
I'm 17. Looking at linoleum makes me want to have sex.

"The fact that we live at the bottom of a deep gravity well, on the surface of a gas covered planet going around a nuclear fireball 90 million miles away and think this to be normal is obviously some indication of how skewed our perspective tends to be."
James Blunt (hail to thee, oh Bluntish one; we pledge our fealty to you and your heirs, apparently) gets a namecheck in this blog commentary on the latest set of Dewey subcategory numbers:
Is that sufficiently tortous reasoning for a link post?

IMO the reason the right is so strong is that there are a lot of one issue voters with one fervent side and one lukewarm side and the democrats are on the lukewarm side of most of them. Abortion, homosexuality, guns, national security, taxes, etc...
There are lots of people who think that the democrats stand for abortion, gun-control, more government regulation, and more taxes. Who the heck wants that?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Jesus supports that in email.

Too true. This is reason #1 why I can never leave.

It's funny/ironic/sad that I've more than once had the conversation where the person I was talking to swapped "Americans" for "Christianity" in the above sentiment. With the undertone that I was doing something wrong for being among the enemy.
Lessons in why one shouldn't generalized, and why it's sometimes very hard not to do so.
There's a christian left too and lots of christian liberals. However, they are not politically important.
I know, the vst majority of my Christian friends and family are lefty, or at least lean left. That doesn't make me any less soured, or make the conversations any easier.
There are lots of people who think that the democrats stand for abortion, gun-control, more government regulation, and more taxes. Who the heck wants that?
And that's why I'm starting to sour on the Democratic party, even though that leaves me with options numbering zero. I grew up in the area around a very working class city, believing that the Democratic party was the party of the working class, and of individual rights and freedoms. Hell, Detroit was one of the cities that helped make the Democrats the party of the working class.
And that's part of why I won't be a Libertarian -- I believe there should be and needs to be laws regulating business, protecting the workers and consumers. This is, as I understand it, completely antithetical to the Libertarian party, which I would otherwise be inclined to join.
