Oh my god, is Jilli around? Apparently her rock star crush and my rock star crush regularly get together to read comics and play Warhammer, and I think I'm experiencing a glee overload.

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.
I wonder how much impressions of candidates are shaped by the press.
I watch the debates to avoid just this - they're all still performing, but at least it's unedited.
Yeah, not excited by anyone either. But Clinton is my least favorite of the biggies on the Democratic sides of aisle. Yeah, she is an awesome person in many ways. But she is also the most hawkish on foreign policy. (And foreign policy is where the President has the most power.) She is not great on domestic policy either; supported the bankruptcy bill, generally even more in bed with the biggest corporations than even the other candidates. Most of her advisors on the domestic side are big time corporate lobbyists. Many are union busters. If she gets the nomination I'll support her as a lesser evil - but really she represents the least change from the old Democratic establishment that handed the election to Bush.
I try to avoid it, but it's everywhere. It's that crap conventional wisdom stuff.

AHAHAHA! I e-mailed her.
Did I tell you about our interoffice mail adventure? The one where Jilli sent me some pics of FOB from a KERRANG! issue she'd been going through for MCR stuff?
That pretty much sums the both of us up right now.
Oh, Patrick, you are the adorkablist.
I was looking at Ron Paul's voting record and hating the fact that someone who voted the way I believe has such scuzzy associates. He actually changed his mind on the death penalty because of the way it's managed (though I wonder if he hates the long appeals or if he can see the racial/economic injustice).
Dangerous, dangerous man.
I'm still nurturing "Gore/Obama" fantasies. But soon I'll have to let them go.
t pause to consider Clinton/Clinton. sigh. Goes to lunch
Foreign affairs wise, at least Hilary is known to the international community and probably doesn't trigger gaffaws of disbelief.
AHAHAHA! I e-mailed her.
Bless you. I didn't know if she was around, and I was just about to do that.

That is adorable. That is adorable like when my mother came to visit and brought me magazines with articles about Hugh Laurie and Greg Grunberg because she knows I like them adorable.

I think the only reason he doesn't constantly have someone hugging his dorky little face is because he punches.
