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

God, I thought Obama was going to say "President Clinton reminded us what it's like to have a president who actually has a grasp of the English language."
Dude, right? I was all, "Uh, how is he going to finish that sentence..." Heh.
From your posting box to Vishnu's screen, Steph.

"What would it take to get your daughter to stop tweeting about this?"
For just a moment there when Obama was saying how they picked Mile High Stadium so anyone who wanted to come to the convention tomorrow night could be there--yeah, it crossed my mind.
If I'm not careful Barack and Joe are going to break my heart if they don't win. They moved me.

So I'm making the mistake of watching Frontline's thing on abortion from a couple years ago. I swear to the god I don't believe in, it makes me want to go have an abortion I don't need, just to flip off the pro-lifers. And that is bad.

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.
we do, too, have military cred!"
Yeah, that bugs me more than the religion thing. Because I don't think it is just pandering. I think they mean it. None of the serious candidates doubts that we should have a military budget as big or bigger than the entire rest of the world. The difference is that between the Democrats who support an aggressive foreign policy and the Republicans who support a super aggressive foreign policy, between people who want to keep up a comparatively sane U.S. empire those who want to run it on more or less homicidally mad principles. Sane beats insane; things will get worse under either the Democrats or Republicans, but under the Democrats they will get worse more slowly. Either party will kill lots of people, but the Democrats will kill fewer than the Republicans. And with that rousing endorsement I bid you good night.

I just had an interesting thought--Bill Clinton, Secretary of State. Or maybe Ambassador to someplace important. He's known worldwide, the world remembers him fondly as a friend and someone competent. If they trot the Clintons off to the pasture, it will be a huge waste.

Skipping (boy, I really need to break this habit) to post that, according to Nutty "If the Apocalypse Comes, Beep Me" Aug 28, 2003 2:08:39 pm PDT today is Casper's birthday.
The only way I can believe she's five years old already is because I practiced my suspension of disbelief last week, regarding Franny's age.
Happy birthday, Casper! With lots of wishes for a great day and a wonderful year to flea and all the rest of the family, as well!

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Many Happy Returns of the Day, Casper!
