Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

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.

That is full of argh! Argh.

There's some overlap between people who have conservative interpretations of Christianity who want to, you know, live like Christ, help the poor, steward the earth, blah blah blah, and the more liberal side of things. Which, after all the polarizing, is perhaps our only hope for humanity.

Yeah, this.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

You realize you probably can, right? Depending on what the ballot restrictions are where you live, anyway.

Yeah, but it's essentially tossing my vote in the garbage. And I definitely don't want McCain.

The PUMAs would have you believe that President McCain is worth it in order to Send A Message to the Democratic party.

I'm not sure what that message is, though, other than, We're pissed that our candidate didn't win.

I'm kind of relieved that my candidate (Edwards) didn't win, in retrospect. Can someone turn "Thank God we didn't have an infidelity-based impeachment trial before we even had the freaking election," into a catchy acronym?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Yes, but those people are CRAZY.

I see "PUMA" and I think "they hit on younger delegates?"

I think the idea is that Hillary can defeat McCain in 2012. I don't understand it though, it's not a freaking game. The supreme court can change, our energy policy could be more drilling and nuclear plants for four more years, our foreign policy can be hawkish to a fault for four more year, etc...

Ahh, the Nadar strategy. That worked out so well the last time.

And, yes, I realize that Gore dug most of his own grave in 2000, but that's probably not how the press is going to paint it should we end up with PotUS McCain.

Party Unity My Ass, I believe. For some of the people who think H. Clinton should have gotten the nomination.
