Ugh msbelle, I totally feel your pain on the homework front. Franny did manage to salvage her grades for this first trimester, but So. Much. Work. For both of us. I do not have time to retake middle school!
I have a student who is driving me crazy. I can't even go into detail here about it, as I will just go crazier. But suffice to say, demanding, lazy, grade-grubbing student is crazy making!
Yeah, that's different from NC, where the ads against the Democrat boil down to, "You know she agreed with Obama once, right?"
Ah, that would be the New Hampshire senatorial race. I really want a stake through Scott Brown's career the way I want one through Mitt Romney's.
Or, you know, just ASCEND ALREADY!?!?!?!?!?!!!!
Dinner was had here [link]
It's very good. And was just barely warm enough to sit outside wearing a light coat or sweater.
Most of the political ads I've seen are either for NY or NH races. The only one I remember for Vermont is the Shumlin pushed for GMO labeling.
The Dems in NH have been running "too extreme for the Tea Party" ads about Marilinda Garcia. From what I can tell she's against abortion, wants doctors to go to jail for performing abortions, wants to abolish the Dept of Education, voted against the Violence against Women act and something else.
In IL it's all about painting the other candidate as the most corrupt. Rauner blames Quinn for 100 years of corruption and Oberweis tries to conflate Dick Durbin with Nixon.
Marathon day! It started 30 minutes ago!
In Brooklyn all the political ads are over and done with because the real battle is over the Democratic primary. *holds liberal bubble tight and never lets go*
Most of the ads I see (although I try very hard to ignore political ads, so my perceptions may be way off) are for or against propositions rather than candidates. California.
The only political ads I've seen in Cincinnati are for the Kentucky primary, because that race is such a HUGE deal, and the network channels broadcast in both Cincy and Northern Kentucky.
I wouldn't even know what was going on in our own races if my neighbors didn't have yard signs. (One sign is a life-sized standee of a candidate campaigning as a write-in candidate. You really have to have a lot of faith in people, that they won't vandalize your sign to say things like "Fuck the police!" and "I love it in the butt!") (Which is why I'm not allowed to get a standee.)
