rain rain ... wait a second. it cleared up! so i went to home depot to buy lumber for building the paramour's bed.
canada post now wants the person to whom a package is addressed to pick it up zirself. this is cumbersome when two people who live in the same household frequently pick up each other's packages.
i backslid (without shame, even) and watched the debate, largely because it is more fun to watch the daily show and colbert if one's seen the original. ah, i am so politically evolved, eh. now i want a tshirt that says "i'd vote for THAT one". |

mccain's whole demeanour expresses his dislike for obama, though he's tried to moderate it somewhat from the first debate. i've seen peole claim "that one" was just a slip, but even though i can see that argument (and we really can't know), he can't afford to even make slips like that. certainly not when his rallies have become pure aggression.
but hey, i am glad he makes them. dig, baby, dig your own political grave.
I agree that John McCain should be called to account for his callous incivility toward a fellow Senator and his (perhaps inadvertent) symbolic dehumanization of an African American in a time when portions of Sarah Palin's stump speeches seem designed to incite his supporters into a violent frenzy. All the same, I don't think that it is for right-thinking white folk to be the ones to throw around hate speech as a demonstration of "ironic" empowerment and solidarity. I would prefer a T-shirt that says "His name is BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA" in three inch high block letters.
i see your point, but hey, i like irony.
His name is BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA
see, i don't think that would send the same message, because right-wingers are using his full name to allude to him allegedly being muslim and a terrorist friend.
maybe a combination of both, and try to reclaim his middle name at the same time (because it's a damn shame what they're doing with it). what i'd really want to say would be too much text for a tshirt. ah well, i live in canada, it's irrelevant anyway.
btw, i think law enforcement should look into those stump speeches. i think it's recklessly dangerous of the mccain campaign to do this. | |
