I often love John Scalzi: People/Things I Would Vote For President Before I Would Vote For John McCain.
What I particularly love about this entry is how he mentions his Nader rage from 2000; I thought that *I* was the only one who still can't let go of her Nader rage. I seriously ranted about it just the other night, for about 20 minutes, to The Boy. I think he listened so patiently only because he was doped on percocet.
But seriously, y'all. God DAMN.
Anyway, I ALSO love this entry because of #10. Teratoma!
Nope.
And I used to admire him, too, so that's kind of sad.
Kat, I love this one with the two Things chattering. Also, we have the same Snack Trap.
We have 5 (YES. FIVE) Snack Traps. Or we've purchased 5. I can actually only find 2 of them. The white one is no longer one of them.
Thanks for the birthday wishes.
The Things are very cute, but I understand Noah's reluctance about the wig. It looks like he's being attacked by a deranged mop.
Happy Birthday and belated congradulations to whomever I'm forgetting.
I was too tired last night to mention how adorable the littlest Buffistas all were in their wee costumes! Ded from the cute, indeed!
I went to a party last night and though I didn't drink that much and made sure I was clear-headed before I drove home, I am pretty worthless today. I've been sitting here since getting up and eating breakfast and am shocked to discover how late it is! Oy!
The costume was bought with the bright idea that since we have a baby carrier that allows us to wear him on our backs, if we went to any sort of Halloween party this year, I could dress as Luke Skywalker and carry him around.
OMG, that is EXACTLY how we'd planned to dress Dylan at Comic-Con! And then we wound up unable to go. But still. Geek minds think alike, I guess.
(PS, Dear Child, GO TO SLEEP. YOU ARE VERY TIRED. TAKE A FREAKING NAP.)
People/Things I Would Vote For President Before I Would Vote For John McCain.
This may have supplanted Things Younger Than McCain as my favorite anti-McCain blog. (Especially since TYTM.com has pretty much devolved into "Buy my book based on this blog!" nowadays.)
Happy Birthday, Ginger!
I will have to go back later to see cute kidlet pictures. Right now I am attempting to sort through all of the California proposition, and my head is killing me. There are propositions I'd normally support that I'm ambivalent about (because I really do think this "bonds will pay for everything without new taxes, really!" talk is bullshit), and yet when I look at the "no" sites, I'm disgusted by some of the groups opposing and some of the hateful language these groups use. For example, I would absolutely love to see a high speed rail system in CA, but there's a pretty convincing article in AAA's magazine
Westways
about why this particular proposition is so badly flawed as to make it unworkable. But the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association, who runs the No site, horrifies me. They're the ones who pushed for Prop 13 back in the day and decimated California's schools. And Prop 3 is all about funding children's hospitals, which I'd normally be all for, but can we afford it right now? Yet the No site for them is limittaxes.org, which spends most of its time railing against those evil liberals and what they're going to do to our country.
Also, I'm faced with this massive list of local judges and such with no information on any of them.
ARGH! Voting in Connecticut was so much easier.
