I'm only 32 and I hate those freaking "Oh, you mean 29 for the fourth time?" people! No! I mean 32! What the hell is wrong with 32!?!
When I turned 35, some wag was all, "Wait, don't you know you aren't supposed to ADMIT that??? You're 29 again!" and I gave them a blank stare and said, "No, actually, I know how to COUNT past 29. I'm 35."
"Geez, I'm just *joking!*"
I didn't reply, "No, you aren't, because jokes are *funny*," although I figured that, as the birthday girl, if I wanted to keep being a jerk, I would have been entitled to.
If you've been bugged to death by Obama and Clinton folks, this sounds like a good argument for voting for Edwards.
Signed, really wants to see Edwards take Iowa.
"I didn't realize there was homework."
Snap! When your political candidate starts to come across as a stalker boyfriend, it's time for something to give.
Makes me glad that I'm in a state with a primary so late it doesn't matter how I vote!
My salad was delicious but, of course since I've been eating so much over the holidays, I'm totally hungry again now.
really wants to see Edwards take Iowa.
Back when I worked at the paper here, he would stop by every now and then after the last elections. There's something really magnetic about Edwards. And I do like the fact that he hasn't harassed me 24/7.
Richardson invited me to ring in the new year with him, by leaving not one but two voicemail messages Monday! I did not take him up on his offer, however.
Edwards is going to be my man I think. I would vote for Kucinich, but I don't think my one vote plus Austin is going to win him Texas.
I'm definitely pulling for Edwards. Though, being in Illinois, it's more moral (and monetary) support than votes.
I'm leaning Obama but am really expecting it to be decided before the WA caucus rolls around. I have to admit it annoys me that due to primary/caucus timing, I have about as much voice in choosing my party's nominee as I do, say, choosing the leader of the Labour party in the UK. It seems like the system could be made much more, you know, democratic.
(Don't even get me STARTED on the Electoral College. I went several rounds with my mom last week because I refuse to believe that something the All-Wise Founders thought up in the eighteenth century must necessarily be the best way over two centuries later. She doesn't buy my "one person, one vote, all votes count equally toward the outcome" argument because she really thinks people in rural areas need protection from the dominance of big cities. I don't get it.)
I'm thinking of voting for the dog. He's sensible on immigration (fences bad!), the war (love everyone!), and health care (shred all the paperwork!); he has unpresidential hair and a slightly irrational thing about getting his feet wet, but it's really not that much weirder than seeing a UFO at Shirley Maclaine's house. And it's not like my primary vote will count for anything anyway, by the time May rolls around.
