"So," you may have asked yourself, "are there any entertaining third-party candidates I could vote for in the U.S. presidential elections this November?"

Never fear! I have studiously combed through, uh, this Wikipedia article, and some party websites, to bring you a list of some other people you could potentially vote for, if they can get on the ( Read more... )

There. I have exercised my civic duty. I had to enroll as a Democrat, but I guess that's okay. I'm sure there's some way I can go back to being unenrolled later.

I wish they gave us stickers.

Still kind of sick. Should probably go back to school tomorrow anyway. Ugh.

I wasn't going to say anything about today, because I couldn't think of anything meaningful to say that hasn't already been said by many people who said it better. I don't live in New York. Nobody I know died a year ago today. I think I cried then anyway.

I don't want to watch the news today.

I'd like to do what asilvahalo did, and just link my LJ posts ( Read more... )
