Facebook
Anyone here on Facebook? I just joined, and am a bit overwhelmed and disoriented by it. And people I completely forgot about have found me, literally overnight - a couple of times it was delightful, but some of them I forgot quite happily, honestly. Anyway, I'd love to see any of you there if you are there. Are you there?

Oddly enough, a Buffy post
I have for some reason started watching Buffy again lately. Hayes & I are watching it in order together - we just started Season 2 last night - but I've also been sort of randomly watching episodes from all the other seasons. I'm nursing the nastiest ear/sinus infection of my adult life (and that is saying something), so there's been more laying ( Read more... ) -
"For the first year, the Donners did a good job of hiding Rudolf's... 'non-conformity'"

That was over a week ago. Now it's to ( Read more... ) -
2 minutes of sanity

The McCain/Republic version remains Ronald Reagan's "trickle-down" theory - give massive tax breaks to corporations and the wealthiest people, who will then ( Read more... ) -
I don't think this is what they want to hear
I am at the campaign HQ, calling the government housing development agency to find out if there is anywhere I can get maps of the various projects so that we can plan our voter registration drives more efficiently. I had to go through the phone menu and call through to the same extension which people use to apply for subsidized housing. So I'm on ( Read more... ) -
A cool thing, and a not-at-all surprising announcement
I finally made it to the local Obama HQ again today - I've been in a few times in the past month, for meetings, but today was the first day I went for the full day (ie, the full school day), which is something I'm going to try to do at least twice a week through the election (not counting voter registration pretty much every Saturday through ( Read more... ) -
"Words mean something. You can't just make stuff up."
That video cuts out some of the middle, where Obama goes into real specifics on his agenda. If you're curious, a longer version is here (though it doesn't have the part after CNN's edit, which is why I posted this video, instead, despite the crappy quality).
