Yay for good interviews, Brenda.

I find it useful to play hookie from grown-upness now and then. It's probably not resposible and smart, but it's nice while it lasts.

I spell this V-E-G-A-S.

Kerry Healey, the only republican running (and the current Lt. Governor), has started a smear campaign against one of the three democrat candidates. It's one of the most bizarre political moves I've ever seen.

Yes, Tom and I were discussing why the Healy campaign would want to smear Gabrieli *before* the primary. We decided its a) because she thinks that she'd have the hardest chance of beating him in the Nov. election so she's trying to smear him now or b) she thinks she'd have an easy time of beating him in November and wants to goad the wolly liberals into voting him as the Dem nom.

Ah, politics. I now just view it as this century's gladiator craze and quietly plan to move to the UK once it gets horrible.

But I'm voting tomorrow!

Also, ugh, got a collection call from the Verizon non-debt in collections.

I think's (a). Either way, it's making her look stupid. Even my parents are all, WTF???? (without actually saying fuck).

And, I really love how all the dem candidates are responding. It makes me proud to be an Independent who votes Democrat.

ION, Molly Ringwald is adorable. Still.

Mmm - my knowledge of British politics is superficial. But from a distance the UK does not a look a whole lot better than the U.S. Blair has a better personality than Bush - but in foreign affairs seems to take essentially the same position. Is it really an improvement that when he support horrid things he is smart enough and well educated enough to know better? And on civil liberities and racism the UK looks as bad, maybe worse the U.S. I'm not saying there are not diffeences; the UK is much better on gay rights, and and rundown and second rate as it is, you do have the National Health which is (barely) better than what we have in the U.s. in terms of results. And better on global warming, but not great. I'm trying to see the difference that would make the UK the place to go to if the U .S. goes further down hill.
