Which makes me think, am I single issue? And the answer is yes and no.

Overall, I would say no, personally. But when the candidate is potentially the one nominating Supreme Court Justices? It's probably easier for my mind that I've never had this issue forced. I identify as human first, female second (which, yes, there is clearly an amount of white privilege and the privilege of living in a well-developed country happening here) and both of those for me include having autonomy over my own body.

Romney was lying but if his positions really had been what he espoused in the first debates, he'd have been closer to many of my views and I still wouldn't want to elect a president that was so committed to me not having a say in what happens to and in my body. Helpfully, those weren't his actual positions.

I've voted for Republicans. They had the better positions in my estimation for the offices they were seeking.

I'm single issue if a candidate is vocal about trying to relegate me to second class citizen status, but otherwise tend to vote for whomever I think will do the best job for the most people.

Or, you know, what Matt said.

I don't think there is any argument against abortion rights that is not, at its root, anti-woman. So in that sense, I am a single issue voter because that single issue illuminates so many others.

Also what Jessica said.

From way back:

Screw sending outsiders to change Washington, I'ma vote for the competent professionals.

Seriously. I see problems with politicians who care more about staying in office than actually governing but sending in people with zero experience or interest in learning doesn't make government run smoother or better. Ever.

I installed Soluto on my father and sister's last computers, and now it's asking me if I want to change my sister's default search engine back to Google. Weird thing is (she's a smidge above average computer user--enough to change all her device languages to Spanish and still use them efficiently) she didn't change it on purpose, so it's a valid question.

However, said valid question made me log in and remove some stuff from their normal boot ups, and I think I installed new software on my father's laptop. It was late. And there was sleeping medication involved.

So the woman Patraeus had an affair with, Paula Broadwell, was not only on the Daily Show, but Jon went to some charity events she organized. That's going to be tricky for him to joke about.

Apparently she's a super high achieving type, winning fitness awards when she was at West Point, and Harvard graduate school, and also a choirmaster in high school. And she's married with two kids. So that's a couple of marriages and two very high flying careers in the crapper.

She wrote a biography on him. I am thinking that it's going to be pretty easy. She wasn't on the Daily Show because she was a wife and mom. She was on talking about Patraeus. And the book about him that she was trying to publicize.

How does that make it awkward for Jon Stewart?

Two words: Anthony Weiner.

Just that they were socializing at some events together after. I got the impression that they got to be friends from looking at the pictures.

I don't really know how friendly they were/are.

Oh, that's just icky. And kind of classic adultery.

Have the marriages ended? I'm also assuming the impact on her career is yet to be determined, or did I miss something?

ita_!, that's probably the best price you're going to find for a good, non-scratchy petticoat.

I saw her visit to TDS and she did not come across as very bright. I'm glad to know that she seems better than she came off during that interview.

I was kind of surprised at the lack of depth she displayed.
