Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

No, not the cat. In the dog's perfect world, probably the couch -- but then that brings out the real problem with the dog running for office, which is, well, running.

In 2004, LJ-based fandom had presidential elections. It was awesome, though I don't remember who ended up winning. But people proposed their own candidates -- Boromir and Faramir, Lex and Lionel Luthor, etc.

That was fun. Someone should do it again.

I'd completely forgotten about that, Dana! Good times.

Punishingly Intricate

again, I am lisa.

Sorry! Fortunately I brought some nuts with me for afternoon snack (also some chocolate) because I predicted this would happen.

So the dog is Fred Thompson?

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020

In the dog's perfect world, probably the couch

Or a convenient leg.

I brought clementines, but I think I want something carby.

Well, he was born in Tennessee.

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

I can't explain it, but this building is totally awesome: Mitsubishi's elevator-testing tower

Mitsubishi has erected a tall, skinny, hollow tower filled with elevator shafts for testing high-speed lifts:

The 173m-high (567ft) structure is called Solae and dominates the skyline of Inazawa City...

The 5bn-yen ($50m;£25m) project will allow Mitsubishi to test new drives, gears, cables and other lift systems.

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.

I look at this way. If we had a one person, one vote system would there be any call to go with the electoral college system instead? I grew up in Kansas where voting for the president is for all practical purposes just a waste of time.
