I had a meeting with someone this afternoon who is involved with voting rights stuff, and she was saying that she's helping out with a group coming over from China to check out election stuff. She said the original organizing group was going to bring them to Boston. She was like, WTF. Why would you go there? They were like, Um, it's close to New York? So she's bringing them to Ohio, where there will actually be election stuff going on!
Mal: And I never back down from a fight. Inara: Yes, you do! You do all the time!

Well, these people want to learn about doing elections.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
At the 7-11 a few blocks away, they've got this "vote with your cup" thing for the Slurpees, where they have McCain, Obama, and Undecided cups, and buying a Slurpee in of the cups registers in the in-store poll. There was a huge stack of McCain cups left, and only two Obama cups.

I guess learning how NOT to do things is a good start.

Yeha, I would love to hear from someone with A cup boobies that are not seemingly 3D squishable how that goes...I might think by the time I'm mammogramable that they'd be more saggy and squishable, except I have to get mine at 35, because of the family history. So I'm really HOPING they're not saggy and more able to be put on a plate by then!
...and suddenly I realize we're having this convo in Natter. Um. Hi Natter!

In I-can't-help-it political news: Every time I see the slogan "Change we need" I can't help but read it in Yoda voice.
In not political news: I love Dirty Sexy Money. Scandal! Intrigue! Random plot point yachts! I never have any idea what's going on and I love it.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
So I was bad and reading DMN's editorial blog again, and one of the board members posted a thing about Palin's Supreme Court decision question.
One of the commenters: Furthermore, we're not electing a Constitutional lawyer for president and veep.
My reply: I plan on voting for the former civil rights lawyer and constitutional law professor for president, myself.
I think the original board member COMMed me.

In other news about my job, I was walking down the street with Big Boss, and she asked me a question I should have been able to answer, but couldn't (the information is on paper at the office, not in my head!). I said, "Oh man, I feel like Sarah Palin!" Big Boss reassured me I am not like that. Phew.
