The Behind the Scenes video that BO sent to folks yesterday.
Um. I just realized that his initials are REALLY unfortunate. Wow.
I'm in the middle of a two-hour call that no one is participating in. Good times.
Does that mean you can hang up? Or just natter a lot? (Um, at least it's not at 5AM?)
Happy Birthday LisaH!
I wish I could vote for a candidate that thought my rights were worth protecting instead of simply the "lesser of two evils."
Amen, sister. Amen.
but he offers no hope to women, nor to families or individuals not firmly entrenched in the one-man-one-woman-as -many-kids-as-God-sends-us mindset, preferrably fundamentalist Christian.
Now, that I don't agree with. Fundamentalist Christian?!?
Yeah, I was all energized for Obama and I'll still vote for him, but I'm no longer the "rah rah" supporter I was.
whereas for me he's been a lesser evil all along.
Does that mean you can hang up? Or just natter a lot? (Um, at least it's not at 5AM?)
Actually, it meant that it ended early, so that's something. It was supposed to be an update call, but most of the people weren't on it, and half of the ones that were didn't say anything. But yes, at least it wasn't at 5am.
Me, too. Though I only watch NFL, really, and this season is shaping up to be paaaaaaaainful.
My KC Chiefs are going to be painful as well. I'm just hoping that there will be some exciting development of some of the new, young players on the team. I don't expect much actually winning.
Seriously, why didn't I take this week off? Or at least some of it?? Argh.
I did take the week off and it's still made of argh. Most recent news about our stranding car situation? Fixed problem A with second iteration of part, revealing problem B with the exhaust, which shop A does not do. Shop A is sending the car over to Shop B and presumably paying for it, but end result? Still stranded.
One more day, so we booked another night of the hotel, changed rooms to hopefully have better wifi, and are definitely now going to the aquarium and botanical park.
Car repairs are FAIL.
Obama may be a sign of hope for Democrats--though he's made so many concessions I can't quite believe in that, either--but he offers no hope to women, nor to families or individuals not firmly entrenched in the one-man-one-woman-as -many-kids-as-God-sends-us mindset, preferrably fundamentalist Christian. Others need not apply.
Yeah, gotta say, I disagree with this. He's not (sadly) marriage-rights (but I gave up on expecting any sort of real headway from politicians with DADT and the Clinton Disillusion, and boy HOWDY was that a big one), but he's decidedly not a fundie, has a small family himself, and stood up for choice and Roe in Fundie HQ. I mean, NOTHING he's said regarding abortion is something I haven't heard from HRC before, and his record regarding women's issues is strong, as is Biden's.
I mean, both their wives would kick their rears if it wasn't. You can't marry women like that and NOT have a healthy respect for the distaff side.
