Good morning people.

Finished my rifle Friday night, zeroed it in Sunday, and walked quite a bit scouting for the colder months. Felt like crap last night but thanks to MSB's help (Airborn is the shit) I quit leaking at the nose like a faucet and got some sleep.

That was pretty much the weekend.

Oh, got to shop for furniture Friday with MSB and soon we will have a new couch and squishy chair for the living room. I may never want to leave the house.

OK so right now I sit in Barnes and Nobles as I have no internet or email access at work. Friday afternoon the power blew and they got lights on by this morning but the server is dead...

Hmm I've like Heroes so far but I am not all that demanding when it comes to being entertained... but I will say it's struggling with story line and character's behavior is inconsistent and that's never good

Still looking forward to it... and Big Bang, How I met your mother, and Two and a Half men:)

I just started watching these recently! Don't know how I missed tehm before. On last week's Big Bang they mentioned teh "Secret" Supercollider (sp) underground 17 miles SW of Traverse City Mi and I jump up off teh couch and started trying to gigure out what is 17 Miles sw and if it looked suspicious or not!

(scary part is they pronounced it right Traverse City right on teh show so they at least know about the place and wern't just grabbing an unknown)

Had to take the kitty to the vet. She is now all wailed out and up do date on her shots.

Yeah Monday is the TV night this year. It has all the shows I'd watch. Chuck, How I Met Your Mother and Terminator. And they're all lined up against each other. Lost, Scrubs and obviously Dollhouse will be on the list whenever they start. Hopefully they're not planned for Monday night also. Oh and Spectacular Spiderman but that's like Saturday morning or something. :-)

Normally my vet calls me for my yearly appointment but this time I was like...ok I remember it's always hot out when I take the kitty in so how come I haven't heard from them yet? (granted it stays hot in austin for a good long while but still)

Sure enough her shots expired in mid august. I had to call them. Found out they changed management though so I guess that's their excuse.

(Readjusts thread from FLT bumping into it)

Good morning Ponderers.

Ponder: Does gender have much to do with political descision making? We're stuck between a shit sandwich and a giant douche right now and I'm really leaning toward a vote of no confidence (if it existed in this country). I got to hear about my boss shaking Obamas hand and how great he is yesterday before interviewing for techs (which kinda left me with the same feeling). Then I get to watch McCain double back on his own words on You Tube this morning. I can see with him it is no bullshit. We know he's a loony white (no offense to the sane white folk here) man out for his own best intrest and the intrest of his allies. I don't trust him. Then we have Barack Hussein Obama. I take him as the nice guy everyone knew in school that never expected him to be manipulative and self serving. He is the kind of fella that would talk his way into some womans panties then convince her that it was the best thing to do despite the fact that they are both married and he visably had herpes. Not a lesser evil. A better concealed evil. The best trick the devil ever pulled off was convincing people he didn't exist. I don't care about the tabloid mockery at the newstand of the local grocery store. I care about the slight of hand that he's pulling with people right now. At least the other asshat has nothing (nor the ability) to hide. Not saying that he is the better choice. But at least any semi intelligent human (and some apes) can see around McCains line of BS. He is a Regan-esque puppet. I just hate that later in his term, President Obama will make massive descisions that effect the people who elected him and will crush the hopes and dreams that were promised by him.
All these evil MFers out here right now are evil out in the open. Once his brand of evil is unleashed there will be no going back.

"It's okay baby. There is only a thirty five percent chance you'll get my herpes if you sleep with me."

So yeah, I dreamed all this. Something clicked in my head last night and did not let go until just a few minutes ago. That feeling is still lingering and reassures me that voting for neither is the best choice.
VOTING.
FOR NEITHER.

Guess I should listen to the coyote with the voice of Johnny Cash (Yeah, he was there).

Has there ever been a clear choice in these matters? I've only lived through Bush/Dukakis, Bush/Clinton, Dole/Clinton, Bush/Gore, Bush/Kerry and now Obama/McCain. Sorry but I don't see a single choice in that list that I really want as president. I've always felt that it's just choosing the lesser of the two evils.

i agree though. I watched a debate between those two, and I'm really not impressed by either of them, nor am I impressed with any of the things I've heard them say. But the reality is one of them is going to end up in office, and we're going to have to live with that choice for at least four years ><

Fear. I don't really care for either of them to be on deck for the presidency. Especially not with these two candidates. McCain might just die of old age 3 days after being sworn in and there are enough racist psychos out there that the secret service is going to have their hands full keeping Obama alive. This is the first time in my life that I really wonder if either candidate could survive a term in office.

The whole thing is a joke. Spin and jokes and rumors. It really matters little in the end. I wish there wasn't so much put on this damn thing. People just end up disappointed. We should all just bend over and take it because regardless of who runs the country we'll still end up sore and shamed.

How about this: Halloween. I was looking forward to it a bit more than I am now. My sisters kids might not be here and that is mostly what I was looking forward to.

That and yes, I miss them (pokes MSB because she is right despite not having said anything). They took off for Kalifornia last week and I don't know when they'll be coming back. My sister sent for some of her documents and chances are she is planning something I'm not supposed to know about. She is with the family of the guy she got into trouble with a few years ago which means he is probably there in Selma or is in Mexico and she is planning on going there with the kids. Either way I am not happy and want to drill someone in the fucking head over and over and over.

Anyhoo, Halloween. What is everyone doing?

As for gender affecting decisions - I don't think so. Not for intelligent people, anyway.

What we actually need to do is get rid of career politicians. "Politician" should not be a job. Nominate and elect regular people who already have regular jobs; no more salaries for being a "politician" and no more of that partisan hidden agenda dirty dealing in it just for yourself bullshit.

Morning everyone.

Politics: There's a scene from The West Wing (in season 2 I think, during the flashback to the original Bartlet campaign) where Leo (John Spencer, the Chief of Staff on the show) says he's "sick of voting for the lesser of who cares." That's how I've felt about US politics my entire life, since my mom explained to me who President Regan was when I was still a tiny thing.

Now don't get me wrong, I was originally an international affairs major in college, and gave serious thought to one type of government service or another, but I've always found national politics to be petty and meaningless. This is the first election in my lifetime that I actually give a shit about (well, 4 years ago I had pretty strong opinions, but it was a definite "lesser of two evils" -- or perhaps, "lesser of two idiots" -- situation). So in that Aaron Sorkin spirit of being sick and tired of "the lesser of who cares", I've been a Barack Obama supporter for two years now. For the first time in my entire life, it feels different to me. It feels real.

I've seen more than a couple of people say that Obama is just like all the rest, he just hides it better. "No one can be that good and still be in politics." What if he really is that good? I don't want to be so frickin cynical that I throw away my chance to have something great. I wouldn't do it in love, and I won't do it in politics. I'm sure he knows how politics works, and I'm not blind to the necessities that come with being a career politician. But there's more going on there, IMO. There's a light in his eyes that we haven't seen in a President in the last 20 years at least. I can't pass that up. And even if Obama turns out to be a manipulative politician, I still would consider him to be head-and-shoulders above the badly reanimated corpse that is John McCain.

Another interesting thing to me about this election cycle is that a year ago, I actually liked John McCain. I don't think I would ever have voted for him, because while I hold a couple of traditionally Republican views, most of my views are more Democrat and Libertarian, so I've yet to find a Republican I can agree with enough to feel comfortable voting for him or her. But I thought McCain was a decent guy, just with political views I don't agree with. As the campaign has worn on, I've found myself liking him less and less. Where did the Maverick go? Why can't he answer questions off the cuff? And what the

is the deal with choosing Sarah Palin?? After last Friday's debate, I straight up hate the man. That's what politics can to do someone who isn't strong enough, IMO. It can take him from a free-thinking maverick and turn him into a lifeless meat puppet, spouting the bigoted party line and showing absolutely no respect for the intelligence of the voting public.

(The above is just my opinion. No offense meant to anyone. I generally do not talk about politics with anyone outside my husband, my father, one of my 3 brothers, and one very close friend -- I don't even talk to my mother or other four siblings about politics -- because opinions can be strongly felt and discussion can get heated quickly. This was meant to express my views on the current election, and not to offend anyone.)

I know it's easy to just check out of the whole thing, to paint all politicians with the same brush and withhold your vote as a protest. But not voting doesn't help anyone. And especially in a swing state like Nevada (I'm lookin at you, NVG!

), I think not voting is irresponsible. There's actually the possibility of an electoral college tie this year (269-269), so I think it's hugely important for all Americans who can legally vote to research both candidates -- and both VPs, who I think will be more important this election cycle than any other VP ever -- and decide who they believe will do the best job with the country, and then cast a vote for that person. Not voting just isn't an option, IMO.

Anyhow, enough of that.

Halloween: Through some really odd twists, hubby and I will be going as a sultan-type and a bellydancer. We actually have an awesome party to go to this year, which will be a huge improvement over last year, where we researched all the adult activities in the area, and realized we could either drive up into LA, or hang out at home. I ended up hanging out at home while hubby worked late. It sucked.

Anyhow, I'm doing some sewing for both our costumes, though hubby bought about 75% of his at a costume store. I'm also going to be wearing a really long black wig and false eyelashes. Should be pretty awesome.

And FLT, quite the coincidence -- the 29th is hubby and my 7 year dating anniversary. Actually our first date was on the 31st, but he kissed me on the 29th so that's what we've always counted. Well, he maintains that I kissed him, but either way there was kissing.

Of course, now we have a wedding anniversary too, so the 29th hardly gets noticed anymore.

Yeah totally agree. I like that there are laws against excluding people from voting because of language or education, but some people, seriously, should not be allowed to vote. Educate yourselves people! (Hence the comment above about researching both and making an educated decision.)

I saw a statistic a few months ago: 18% of American adults surveyed think the earth is flat. Seriously. And in case that statistic seems out of whack, 1 out of 5 The View hosts isn't sure if the earth is round, either.

So in light of that, the 14% of American adults who think that Obama is Muslim isn't quite so scary. I just disregard 18% of the population on principle.

Are you claiming it isn't? I'd like to see your proof. :-P

I'm the type who would always be messing up these surveys. I'd be on the "undecided" side or just wouldn't answer if I was forced to choose one or the other.
