I accidentally heard some of Romney's speech on the way home and I just... argh. It was all strawmen, from beginning to end. Liberals hate businessmen, liberals think big government makes America strong (um, does he think the DOD is private enterprise), and he managed to refer to the mortgage crisis and in the next sentence advocate deregulation. WTF.

Now tagless for your comfort.
I whipped up some pie crusts from Pioneer Woman's recipe. I am only one pint short of heavy whipping cream to make a sugar cream pie (which would instantly double my husband's love for me). How do I not have heavy whipping cream (or at least half & half) around???
I'm so ashamed.

Come work Halloween for me, you can play with power tools and I'm sure I can hook you up with the guys who do pyro for the stunt shows.
If I didn't have a manuscript due by the end of this month, I would.

Sean, I'm so sorry for you and S. That's very very scary indeed.

Vibes to Southern California, hang in there Sean.
John McCain is "The kind of man whose name you would find on war memorials in small towns across this country, only he came home"? What does that even mean?
I still can't figure out "Country First". I just left it while Michael Steele was speaking and he kept asking "Do you want to put your country first?" And then saying that having choice in where your kids go to school and tax cuts somehow were the answer. That sounds like putting the individual and your family first to me.
I mean, I get why better schools and a better economy mean a stronger country, but he wasn't making the case.

Our wings are not tired.
And then there's the whole "which part of Country First has us sending $10 billion to another country every month?"
Sean, I am really sorry. (((((((Sean)))))))
