One of my Facebook friends is a woman who used to work at the library with me. She's a total sweetheart with this awesome German accent...the only trouble is, she appears to have gotten all of her political opinions from this coworkerToday on her Facebook sweet-ex-coworker posted yet another ZOMG OBAMA IZ A MUSLIMMM!!1!1!!!!111! vid. And finally my ( Read more... )

Tomorrow I'm playing hooky from work.

But wait! I actually have a good reason for it, I swear.

See, the state of Ohio is planning to cut library funding by about 50% over the next two years or so. And state funding? Is kind of the only way most of our public libraries stay open.

Yes, I know that the economy sucks. But when people can't buy new books, ( Read more... )

I'm sad about California upholding the gay marriage ban, but I'm not really surprised by it. It seems almost like it's happening in another world--it'll be ten years before Ohio even thinks about allowing gay marriage. We're actually going backwards in that sense. A couple of years ago, Cincinnati passed a law that basically said that gay couples ( Read more... )

OMG you guys, I am streaming CNN live! It is really happening!

Also if you're planning to watch it live, you probably want to load the video now, since there's actually a queue. It's like logging on to Bloodhoof at 9pm, only fewer dragons and more AWESOMESAUCE.

PS: It is snowing and the sun is out. Is so pretty!

PPS: NEW PRESIDENT! WE HAS ONE! The CNN ( Read more... )

Obama wins. Drunk as SHIT. School levy failed in my county. FUCK. Library levy won = yay! Gotta go finish my cider and get off jon's laptop before he gets back. WIN WIN WIN WIN WIN. Laura just drank my cider--boo!! <333333333

Anyway, I <3 America right now.

Hey, y'all, it's election day! If you can has US citizenship, go out and vote and stuff!

I'm not going to pretend I don't have an opinion on this one (...see icon?), but democracy is cool! This is my second presidential election, and it's still kind of exciting to fill in the little bubbles. Then again, I was always the kid who loved taking Scantron ( Read more... )

As for tonight's debate....my new icon is all I have to say about that.

And yes, I did spend the entire frigging hour between the end of the debate and this post making it. If you think it's cool, take it, use it, spread it. Icons are the STDs of the Internet. XD

...I'll go do work now. *sigh*

McCain Mocks Obama Oratory

...Does that smack of sour grapes to anyone else? Just saying.

Besides that, though, the article itself is actually very interesting. McCain "sneers" his comment. Obama "mentions" McCain in speeches; McCain "snarks" about Obama. Biased much, Mr. Internet News-Witer?

Granted, I do think Obama's running a cleaner, classier ( Read more... )

Barack Obama, in a discussion of his pastor--

"The person I saw yesterday was not the person that I met 20 years ago," Obama said of the man who married him.

No matter how many times I see the verb "marry" used that way, it still makes me giggle.

On an entirely unrelated note, I want to play Warcraft so badly I can practically hear the morons on ( Read more... )
