I've been happily avoiding most political talk. But I just found out that I can vote in the Democratic Primary here if I want, so all of sudden I feel I have to think about this well before I want to. Le sigh.
Oh, yeah, baby, it's snakalicious in here.

The evil is this way?
In the end, I'm just tired of the throngs of people after my vote. Obama & Crew has been relentless for the past 9 months, sending me things three times a week, calling, asking why I didn't watch the DVD that I was sent (my response: "I didn't realize there was homework."). Just ... leave me be, people! It probably makes me sound like some crazy anti-American or something, but I can't wait to eat my dinner in peace!
Wait a minute. How did they know you didn’t watch the DVD? Are they bugging your home, too? Sheesh, what you Iowans put up with ..
But I can't love Obama for what he is when that includes lawyer bashing, and Union bashing and making nice with gay bashers, and all the other ways he goes after the extreme rights favorite scapegoats. Dude that isn't bipartisanship. That is strengthening the loony right ideologically.
Yes, this. I’d like to vote for Obama – Favorite Son and all that – but I really dislike the bashing. I since he’s trying to pull in crossover votes, and I understand that, but still …

Unrelatedly, I recently saw a local news story about, "Did you know that roast beef is lower in calories than tuna salad?!?!?!?" Dude. Are you kidding me with that?
Maybe it depends on how much mayonnaise is used?

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
I just called the state employees credit union to see how big of a loan we can get pre-approved for. She's checking our info and will be calling DH, since after all these years I still haven't quite memorized his SSN.
Hold me.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
It'll be fine Susan. Even if it's not where you want it yet, at least you'll have a baseline to work from.

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

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh, I meant that I would always assume tuna salad is worse, because of all the mayo.

No worries. The candidates will have been chosen by then. At least in the press.
