I'd like to see, at least, a rotating "first in the nation" set-up. But I've always lived in states that are too big to argue "we should be first because we're small and should have some say now because we don't get any in the general election" but too small to say "we're big enough to be courted in the general election."
Oh! I know this one! 'Slaying entails certain sacrifices, blah blah blahbity blah, I'm so stuffy, gimme a scone.'

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
It's currently a balmy 13 degrees here in Boston. I like winter why again? 'Cause days like this make me forget that I do.
It does help that it's sunny instead of gray, but it also looks so inviting that I want to go outside, and I know that's just a trap by Mr. Snowmiser.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Randomly, am I crazy to be somewhat interested in volunteering for a homeless census thing the city is doing?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Not crazy! It could be really interesting and it's useful work!

I'm up to 4-6 calls a day and someone knocking on my door every third day.
Thank goodness the only strangers who knock on my door are the religious ladies (I'm not sure what religion, but on the few occasions I've actually answered the door to them, a cheerful "no thank you" to their "Would you like to talk about God?" sends them on their way.) The phone calls are bad enough. I think the record was 10 on my answering machine, all just shy of implying the other candidates ate babies for fun. And that was just the mayoral election!

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
In fact, they want to encourage [kids to choose to have sex] because they benefit when kids end up having sexually transmitted diseases, unintended pregnancies and then they lead them into having abortions, so you have to look at the financial motives behind those who are promoting comprehensive sex ed.
If I had known there was so much money in STDs and abortions I'd have had a totally different major.
