I've eased my Facebook friending rule since entering law school. Previously, I required that I actually knew the people and had met them in order to confirm them as friends. Since starting school, however, I have let in a few I don't know, in the name of making friends and whatnot ( Read more... )

If there is anything that five years in Washington has taught me (other than that dropping thousands of wrongly self-assured social retards in one quadrant does not make for optimal dating conditions), it is that the federal government is useless. Too big, too bloated, too many responsibilities, no way to accomplish them. I think one must only look ( Read more... )

Can't let this one go unnoticed. I am going to keep tabs on this to find out who his sponsors are, and I fully intend to write them and tell them what I think of them for supporting such a douchebag.

I despise conservatives. Despise.

My dad and I returned from shopping and he wanted to turn on the news. I think local news is trash, but I tuned in anyway, in case there was news of a bombing or something important in between stories about tracking Santa ( Read more... )

I am so saddened by this pick of Sarah Palin as McCain's VP because it is a veritable portrait of anti-feminism in this country.

I'm stuck watching the Republican debates for work. I basically hate all these people (8:30 can not come soon enough) but it's fun to get the little insights into their personality ( Read more... )

I don't have much to say about the debates, save for that I hope Americans are smart enough not to vote for any of those Reagan-wannabe fools, but I did find one interesting thing to blog about last night:

How much does Rep. Tom Tancredo

I've always been somewhat befuddled by the blind allegiance so many Americans give John McCain. He was a POW. Awesome. Good for him, and I'm glad he's been able to ride that to the Senate. A lot of congressmen (Dems, too, before you hoist me up on a cross. Just wait.) have used their military experience to get ahead, and why the hell shouldn't they ( Read more... )
