We are still here. I have now been up for 24 hours in which I have eaten one meal. Grace is getting two types of antibios at different intervals and we will have to wait for a bed upstairs indefinitely. I was told if I took her AMA, insurance would not cover the visit. True or bullying?
Wash: Little River just gets more colorful by the moment. What'll she do next? Zoe: Either blow us all up or rub soup in our hair. It's a toss-up. Wash: I hope she does the soup thing. It's always a hoot, and we don't all die from it.

Because books.
Zen, politics are fine. You have met us, right?
I'm sort of sorry I missed Clint's speech now.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Bullying, even if true.

Oh, don't fret, Amy. It was worthy of being YouTubed and probably already has been. And thanks - I just don't want to piss people off.

Kat, looks like it is complete horseshit: [link] Source seems reputable. Bring that up on your phone to share.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
JFC, Kat.

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 just read something on a liveblogging of the convention last night and it made me so angry I had to shut my browser. Watching it on TV would have made my head explode.
Someone please tell me politics in this country will eventually get better. Because it seems that my whole adult life politics have just been getting more and more fucked up, and the trend is accelerating.

Our wings are not tired.
Oh dear, Kat! I hope you both get the care you need quickly.
Zen, I love the politics and am just stunned at the state of affairs. Watched with my parents the last few days in part because I was interested in the 76 and 91 yo perspective. They are convinced the Mitt/Paul team have blown Florida and won't get the senior vote. They are both super Catholic anti-abortion types too.
My fear is that one of the commentators is correct. The theory is that most people already made up their minds a while ago. The few that didn't will decide based on the hideous ads playing in prime time while they watch their favorite shows. They don't read newspapers or watch news channels. Those people already decided.

Also, this last month in NY has been great for avoiding bad political ads. When I get back to FL next week I will have to go back to never watching live television. One bad ad after another. Apparently they aren't wasting their money here. I see a few, but nothing like the poor swing states.

“This is the last time that any party will try to win an election with just the white vote.”
Yeah, I was thinking about that after I made my last post.
Sullivan says that the Republicans just need to be out of power long enough and they'll be forced to be sane in order to win elections again. Hopefully that will happen.
