YES WE DID!

More about my day at the polls in New Hampshire, but for right now, something hastily photoshopped:

I am furious.  Anyone who doesn't want to read my rant about the Republican Party's current tactics, TURN BACK NOW, cause god knows I won't.

( Cut for length, terrorism, and generally being un-American. *flips Bachmann the bird* )

No, it's not the start of a bad joke.  Six wild turkeys have decided that my back yard is the absolute best place in the world.  They wander around and peck at the ground, disappear into the bushes for a little while, and then reemerge to peck some more or settle down and roost in the sun. Now, this flock has been hanging around my neighborhood for ( Read more... )

It's been a good week.  Last Thursday, one of my old roommates flew into Boston from Montana, and we went down to the Cape with one of our other roommates who also lives in the area.  I hadn't realized how much I missed them until I we were all sleeping under one roof again.  It was pretty much a perfect day.  We went swimming (the beach was empty ( Read more... )

So, Sarah Palin is probably the most perfect person McCain could have chosen for a VP, and could easily sew up the election for him.

1) She's prolife and a conservative Christian.  The Evangelicals are dancing with joy.

2) She made a name for herself by by kicking out corrupt Republicans, and she was just elected in 2006.  No one can say she's been ( Read more... )

I've been watching the convention all week, mostly because my mother has been glued to the TV and switching back and forth between WGBH, CNN, and MSNBC.  I absolutely loved Bill Clinton's line from a couple nights ago: "The word has always been more impressed by the power of our example than by the example of our power."

Still, it was nothing to the ( Read more... )

Okay, so Social Theory is one of the most boring classes on the planet--we sit around and talk about ideas that people (in this case, Durkheim, Marx, and Weber) came up with a century or more ago, and analyze their relative merits.  Because these ideas were proposed by dead white men, in many cases there are serious elements of racism, sexism, or ( Read more... )

Seriously, these fucking McCain adds need to go.  Get thee away from my LJ!  I LOVE OBAMA, OKAY?  I hope McCain loses in a landslide.  I especially hope that whoever in his campaign started the negative LJ ads burns in the special hell.  NOT COOL, republicans. *NOT* *COOL*.

*grumbles*

But it is *very* nice that Obama has been doing so well in the ( Read more... )

 I'm pretty tired and should be going to bed, but instead I'm posting.  Why?  Because I'm insane.

I am extraordinarily happy about Obama and the primaries today, although I'm really starting to get nervous about McCain.  As much as I despise Romney and his devilspawn, I wish he'd stayed in the race a little while longer to help spend some of McCain' ( Read more... )

Worse than lesbian porn, lj is now putting JOHN MCCAIN ADS here!  Seriously, can't they at least ask who we support before shoving these ads in?  Stupid fuckers.

In other news, Leah went home today, and I am very sad.  And I was complete ditz and left my purse at Denise's house.  And the high today was MINUS 5.  Ugh.

But the Dell guy is coming back ( Read more... )
