Have a miserable Thanksgiving.
Just kidding, have a good one. Not great though.
Right now I'm listening to my baby get a bath. Wish I knew who was giving it to her. She's noisy.
I meant to write a few weeks ago about election stuff, and how I was going to break down and vote for a disgusting, disingenuous, politics-as-usual douchebag for senator over people I liked better (such as the write-in). Since the war was so clearly on referendum, I was going to help send a message that we independents were extremely annoyed and would not stand for any more ill-conceived adventurism any time soon. Instead, I sent the message that elections should be held at a more convenient time. Preferably, not while I'm moving.
Menendez won anyway, and the weak-kneed Democrats convinced themselves the election was about corruption. If voters are as forgetful as they hope, then this will be a winning issue for a cycle or two -- until it once again bites them in the ass.
Then I was going to write about some other political stuff -- Feingold not running, the Baker commission, Borat, Bush's latest pander to the far right -- but maybe it would just be easier for everyone if you imagined I had the time and created some witty and insightful pieces for each.
