Happy Birthday, shrift!
Ah, the pitter patter of tiny feet in huge combat boots. Shut up!

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.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Hey, remind me, are the Primaries all-or-nothing at the state level like the actual election (excepting Maine and Nebraska)? Or do the reps get parcelled out proportionally within each state?

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
It depends on the state. I think. Seems to me the reps can change their minds and swing their votes to someone else at the conventions. But I may be overstating the arbitrariness.

Yeah, most of what I understand about the process comes from watching the end of S6 of the West Wing.

Ah, fuck me. An apt complex across the street has had a rash of arsons today. 5 individual fires set. Mind you, my complex, in the past few years, has had the leasing office arsoned twice, plus assorted unexplained apt fires (I cornered a cop at one of them and he told me the suspected it was a serial arsonist.)
Freaks me the hell out.
I had my neighbor's home burnt when I was a teen, due to some fucktard arsonist never caught. I've had accidental fires. It freaks me the fuck out. ( repeating that...) I'm gone 10 hours a day, with all that is precious to me here. IT REALLY FREAKS ME OUT.

On a mostly shallow note, I've been listening to the speeches, and regardless of who ultimately comes out on top, it's going to be SO nice to have a grammatical, articulate president again.

Except that Obama just used "enormity" as "really big thing" instead of "enormously horrible thing."
Tsk, tsk.

I want Chuck Norris standing on his shoulder. And I think the nation is with me.
