Mal: Yeah, well, just be careful. We cheated Badger out of good money to buy that frippery, and you're supposed to make me look respectable. Kaylee: Yes, sir, Captain Tightpants.

Oh, good, I was afraid we'd lost things when WX finally sank beneath the waves.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

What makes me the most insane about George Bush as Christian is -- he doesn't go to church!! He talks all this shit, and doesn't actually go to chuch! You know who actually went to church regularly? The Clintons. Now, maybe Methodists don't count, because they just sit there or whatever, but. No. They can all bite me.

His parents went to church too. Yet Bush Sr. managed to NOT TALK ABOUT GOD CONSTANTLY.

They actually stopped regularly attending the church they'd been going to for several years once he became President because they felt the security was disruptive to the congregation (I know someone who was in it at the time) and would rotate between several in the area.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Jesse, Jesse, Jesse, he is a Republican. You see when there is a republican president, he doesn't have to go to church, God is right there in the White House directing foreign policy and stuff.

Crap, I forgot about that. Thanks for the reminder.

Feminism has never been about getting a job for one woman. It's about making life more fair for women everywhere.

Bears repeating.

um, Shrub does go to church sometimes, on the rare occasions he's in town and isn't too paranoid to actually drive three blocks through DC. They block off the streets adjacent to the church, everyone going in has to be wanded and purses, etc., searched, and no one can leave until he's safely away. It's a high church Episcopalian congregation, kind of posh, but with a really good community outreach program.

I clearly do not understand my own people.

I always have my doubts about polls, but I have to believe that when the candidates stop talking about pigs and lipstick and start discussing some issues in a way that will actually educate some voters who need educating, that swing won't stick.

Also, is anyone else bothered by the fact that Palin's interview is airing (in part) today?

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

I saw two teenaged girls yesterday wearing McCain/Palin shirts and I SO wanted to shake them both. I figured that wouldn't be productive, but I kinda wish I had just asked them "why?".

oh dear ... today's paper had a big picture of the Republican rally yesterday (hastily moved from the high school to a park 'cause they realized it was against the rules to have a political rally at the HS) showing a kid carrying a sign (he was probably too young to read) almost as big as he was saying "I'm for the hero and the mom". sigh.
