with regard to a certain sporting event that happened this weekend, i -- oh, fuck it, i can't even. i was going to try and say something about boston sports fans, and how i know we look like assholes to the rest of the country, but you've gotta understand, every day most of us leave our rent-gouged apartments to slog through weather that's too cold ( Read more... )

I bought myself a cookie to eat after the inevitable voting induced rage coma. Also, I am so stoned on OTC medications I can barely speak of it.

SO TRUE

I'll be home around 9. Then it will be ON!

I suspect this will make Madame angry. She will have to suffer!

So...are you going to be outside the city of Somerville for the entire day ( ... )

i am going to outside the city of somerville for the entire day! like many people in the boston metro area, i live in somerville but work in boston. so technically, i will be outside the limits of the city of my residence all day. different county, even! also, i went to undergrad in oregon and worked for the democratic party of oregon during the 2000, so you will find no bigger advocate of vote by mail than me ( ... )

Exactly. There are plenty of people saying that - why not the senators? Are they really afraid people will think they're stupid? Well, someone did ask Hilary if she was admitting that she was "naive" (another darn gendered adjective) for believing Bush. Seriously?!

what i know for certain about hillary clinton and barack obama is that, when they were my age, she was a vietnam war protester and he was a community organizer. at one point in each of their lives, they were probably both as liberal as i am right now. ... and so when it comes down it, i've got to believe obama, at age 46, is a lot closer to being his best political self just because he's had less time to forget how. maybe that's a dumb reason, but it's the only one i could come up with. so that's what i did.

That's a great way of looking at it, actually. I'm doing the passive-aggressive caucus thing, so I'll probably just go w/ whichever group needs an extra body to get a delegate, but my general instincts are in the same direction.
