Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
That laptop intrigues me. I try and see it in the context of Jamaica, and it's not quite snapping into focus. I forwarded it to my cause-oriented sister and we'll see what she makes of it.
It is way too early for me to have already finished one meeting.
Has anybody here ever given double red blood cells? I'm curious how long it takes and what you feel like afterwards.
I've done it. It took about 45minutes and I had a bad headache afterwards. Otherwise it was like a normal one.
Hmmm. Maybe I'll bring some advil with me.
In political news, I heard a thing on the radio this morning about how "the Bible Belt" doesn't like Mitt Romney because he's a Mormon. Who do they like, then? Surely not Giuliani? Because not only is he a Catholic if he's religious at all, he's the worst Catholic ever!
Who do they like, then?
Huckabee.
Who do they like, then?
I think that is still a mystery until the primaries. Fred Thompson could be the guy if he was running a more effective campaign. If Mike Huckabee makes a good showing in some early primary, then maybe he'll get some momentum from the religious right wing of the GOP.
Huckabee.
OK, that would at least make sense.
Who do they like, then? Surely not Giuliani?
I wouldn't have thought it earlier, but I'm thinking that Giuliani might be able to get enough grudging support from the religious right to get the nomination. I think they'll like his image as being tough on terrorism, and they may choose electability over a better ideological fit considering that the Democrats might nominate the incarnation of Satan as their candidate.

I heard that too. What rubs me the wrong way is that the story never (save for the Mormon religion scholar-and even then only slightly) pointed out that maybe a person's personal religious beliefs or lack thereof shouldn't be part of their qualifications for president. I mean if people uncomfortable with Romney because he's not the right kind of Christian are people to be listened to and taken seriously, what chance would someone not Christian at all have?
