ACORN is big on issues affecting low-wage workers, but I think it's too new to be actually something Obama worked on. But it was founded by somebody black, though. I met Edwards at one of their minimum-wage things.
That's one spunky little girl you've raised. I'm gonna eat her.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Yeah. And all community organizers are terrorists or socialists or satanists or something....
Well, exactly.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I'm partially burned out on the campaigns. Like, I avoid reading about the latest offensive crap uttered by the Palin/McCain campaign, but I'll read stuff on how bad they're doing....

I am offcially unemployed now, but expect to be getting sub gigs like whoa in the nect couple of weeks. I am seriously contemplating planning on not working the day after the election. I figure I will still be nursing shock-therapy drinks like crazy (along with, possibly, heroin) or nursing a slight, yet slap-happy, hangover of joy.
You know, if/when (please dog) Obama gets elected, I imagine that there'll be some wicked stupid celebration. Wicked good, but also I foresee some sheer dumbness.
McCain? I see the bodies of suicides floating in the gutters, and no real glee from a lot of Republicans.
But I am biased.

ACORN was founded by a single mother of five who still took time to care how her fellow employees were treated. I only hope I can be satanic like that when I grow up.

I thought Wade Rathke founded Acorn? Relatedly, here's a whole rundown of the embezzlement scandal: [link]

Can I buy up the last of the season's peaches and have them live in my freezer for six months?
I think Alton Brown suggested that you freeze them sliced, with a bit of sugar solution... but maybe that was strawberries? You might want to check Food Network's website?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
I doubt if [link] is real, but if it is, it means I scored the same on the SATs as Sarah Palin, when I took them in the 7th grade.

Maybe I met the vice-chair or the Assistant to the Regional Manager or something, then, but she impressed me anyway.

I'd love to stay up all night on the 4th and soak up the post-Obama-win goodness, but the next day is one of the two busiest of the year for me--the day after a general election, especially a presidential year one, means a lot of ballot measure results that I have to enter into my database here at work.
I was just double-checking my list to make sure I was up-to-date (found a few in Colorado that had been yanked off the ballot that I had as still being on it--oops!), and, man, am I going to busy on 11/5! Waaaay too many ballot issues in 36 states being voted on.
