I dunno Alibelle, I'd like to think it means that he thinks a woman could be qualified to be president, but I suspect all it means is he thinks the job of VP is so meaningless even a woman could do it. Eh. I'm sure I'm being too cynical.
Maybe I'm cynical too, but I don't think he picked her because he thought she was qualified. I think he picked her because she represents many things that his party endorses, and he had to make a pick that competed with the novelty of Obama in order to stay competitive. The part that makes me happy is that the Dems have a very strong candidate, who happens to be very non-traditional, and the only way that the Republicans felt that they could compete with that is by going a similar route and putting a woman (and again, I don't endorse her politics at all, but she is, technically, a woman) on the ticket. I like that this election feels as though it's requiring diversity on the ballot. However misguided I feel some of the choices are, I still applaud the diversity.
Unemployed!
And leaking money...spent $75 at the ER to be told I should spend $350 on drugs not covered by my insurance company if I really wanted the pain to go away.
::sigh::
And I managed to almost knock one of my wing mirrors always off. As is, it's going to require taping to be drivable. I'm glad it drives well, because it certainly
looks
like a hooptie car.
Aw crap, ita, I'm sorry to hear that you're unemployed.
If it's even the eensy-weensiest bit of comfort, my sooper-seekrit project I told you about is still a go. I just have to clear a few projects first, including the illos Jilli needs.
Bah.
I think I want to go back to bed.
Go back to bead. You have my permission. I put bean soup in the crockpot last night. It smells so very very yum!
At least it wasn't a surprise, ita. A month or two of downtime isn't necessarily a bad thing given your health, but I can incredibly sympathize with the "bleeding money" part of the equation.
On the plus side, I applied for seven jobs yesterday... some of them, I'm even qualified for! This is important because I've been a little too intimidated to actually try that for the past month. Even though I've been drawing from my savings to live and all.
Stephanie - insent.
I am sooo glad we came home 3 full days before school & work start up again.
msbelle-- there's a lot to be said for resting up after your vacation!
msbelle, did Mac like the Animaniacs?
I firmly believe in needing a vacation after your vacation.
ita, are your parents still here?
The students are arriving in town this weekend. It's not safe to be out.
