Shooting for the White House

I lost a filling today. Wahhh!!! So tomorrow, I have to not only say goodbye to rahael, but say hello to the dentist.

From the first political preference quiz disguised as a first-person shooter:

Well, I came out as a typical democrat, not a left leaning communist sympathiser. (I suppose if I'd shot the hunter instead of the soccer mom, it might have been different, but I thought the hunter was a Sandinista or Che Guevera.) I had a lot of trouble with deciding between the two. Of course, the Bible thumper was easy. On the other hand, my choices may simply reflect a hithertofore unknown level of self hatred. As Dherblay notes, I am a former soccer mom and a current Bible thumper. Oh well. On the other hand, Dherblay was an atypical soccer player and I have been accused of being heterodox (at best, atheistic at worst) on the Bible side.

I did purchase a necklace bearing the visage of Che in Nicaragua. I asked people to remind me not to wear it through immigration and customs and someone said it doesn't matter, no one will know who it is anyway. They'll just think it's a strange looking Jesus.

Do you think Ashcroft's illness is Pat Robertson's prayers (for the demise of some of the Justices of the US) gone awry?

On Sunday I will be giving thanks for the recent marriage of two of my friends in San Francisco (Virginia and Ann) and pray for Ashcroft's health. I must have a death wish.

Well, Jane Fonda could be your mom. (Did you know she used to visit your neighborhood when you were little??)

Hi Mom!

I'm holding the line on punctuation creep: it's d'Herblay. My own mother, mispunctuating my name.

I did not know that about Jane Fonda. Why would she visit Ludlow?

Sorry about the punctuation. I'll try to be better in the future. Jane Fonda used to visit one of the leftists in Ludlow--that really narrows it down I know. Someone who lived on Ashwood or further over. I never actually saw her, but I'd usually hear afterwards when she had been in town.

About the suv. It does get 23 miles to the gallon. I wish it were more. And besides, you thought it made sense in the snow. And besides it's all God's fault. If she had gotten me a church in San Francisco, I'da bought an Insight or a Prius. Or one of those cute little one person cars that you see in Berkeley. I'm sure the ABS has saved my skin a couple of times.

I am avoiding writing my sermon. Trying to figure out how much I'm gonna say about gay marriage.I mean I'll say a few things but it's a Sunday when the kids are in church for the sermon and I don't want to get too graphic. I am going to have a time after the service for the congregation to ask me questions. And you decided not to visit me this weekend. You may miss the spectacle of your mom being ridden out of town on a rail. (Or did they do that only in the south)

I forgot to mention in the previous post that all of your relatives that aren't in Utah being Mormons are in the south being conservative Republicans. Not just on my side!! And I never inflicted that many family reunions on you. Just the annual visit. Well, I thought going to visit grandparents on the farm would be fun. Didn't realize it would be responsible for your current state.

Sorry about your tooth. I suppose you want to blame your teeth on me, too.
