I look more rad than Lutheranism

Does the "That one" bother people?

Criticism of that specific line is all over the interwebs today; I watched the debate on NBC last night, and almost the first thing that one of the commentators noted was "that one" and McCain's patronizing "You probably didn't even know who Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac were before this crisis."

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Yeah, they were talking about it last night too. It pinged me a little, but not as much as it's getting play.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I just wanted McCain to point his thumbs at his chest and say "this guy" at the end of that bit.

McCain's patronizing "You probably didn't even know who Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac were before this crisis."

I'm sure he didn't, because McCain never had to struggle to get a mortgage in his life. A lot of people outside of his tax bracket have considerable experience with them.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".

The problem with this argument, which people also make here, particularly in terms of which candidate would deal better with terrorism

The problem with this argument for me is that people refuse to give a chance to other schools of thought other then the militaristic way.

Dear cow-irkers: STOP YELLING ABOUT THE DEBATE. GO AWAY FROM ME.

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

The problem with this argument for me is that people refuse to give a chance to other schools of thought other then the militaristic way.

That's because if you sit down and talk to your adversaries you are WEAK WEAK WEAK. And terror-loving.

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

The cheetah is so cute! Want a pet cheetah now.

We were thinking of going to the San Diego Zoo's Walk on the Wild Side on Saturday, but it's at 7:30 AM which means we'd have to leave at 4 (not really a limiting factor, odd but true) and it would be $60 for both K and I to register for the walk. But it goes through the zoo!

The debates aren't designed for me. I'm not an undecided voter so I can't even fathom that we have 27 or so days to the election and there are people who STILL don't know who they are voting for. I can't relate AT ALL to that.

The problem with this argument for me is that people refuse to give a chance to other schools of thought other then the militaristic way.

I have a problem with that as well. I feel intelligence and international cooperation are more important than military force. Not that military force doesn't have its place, but so often candidates make it out that we just need to invade the United Republic of Terrorism to take care of the problem.
