Hmm...

McCain says he can't stop outside groups from attacking Obama yet somehow Obama stopped groups like Progressive Media from running attack ads on McCain.

Also, I think the dregs of society are the ones who post comments on political news stories. They give me eye twitches. I always appreciate a well thought out comment, no matter what candidate they support--I might disagree, but I appreciate the thought they put into their comment. Saying stuff like "Obama apparently does not believe in free speech, just dictatorial control" in response to him asking groups not to run attack ads just shows you jump to the far end of whatever conclusion you instantly reach.

Also, saying you love Clinton and agree with her on her positions, but are going to vote for McCain just shows that you are a voter led by passion instead of reason. Hello, there are very few differences in policy between Obama and Clinton.

Obama: Pro-Choice
Clinton: Pro-Choice
McCain: Anti-Abortion

Obama: Wants to increase gun control
Clinton: Wants tougher gun control
McCain: Opposes increased gun control

Obama: Voted against Iraq war, wants troop withdrawal
Clinton: Voted for Iraq war, but says she wishes she hadn't, wants to put limit on troops in Iraq
McCain: Voted for Iraq war, wants to send more troops

Obama: Opposes privatization of Social Security
Clinton: Opposes privatization of Social Security
McCain: Supports privatization of Social Security

How can you be both a Clinton and McCain supporter? Only if you don't care about the issues, I suppose.

Bella

There was just too much text lately on the blog, so I decided to post a picture of our cat, Bella (short for Bellatrix--I insist that every cat I have be given a Harry Potter related name.) She's adorable and meows loudly and loves batting dice and eating Bespin Guards.

Bah.

I think freedom from religion is more important than freedom of religion. Mainly based on cases like this.

Letting your 15-month old baby die from treatable pneumonia is not religious freedom. When there are two young people dead in one family in the last 4 months because of unwillingness to treat illness, that's criminal. Ok, faith healing families--it's pretty obvious prayer doesn't work like that. Maybe... just maybe... your prayers for a healthy child would have been answered if you GOT OFF YOUR ASSES AND TOOK YOUR KID TO THE DOCTOR.

My Biggest Weakness and other Random Things

Lindor Truffles.

I can, and have, eaten an entire bag in one sitting. And I'm not a huge chocolate or sweets fan. They are insanely yummy.

Speaking of yummy, I want these.

*sigh* I still haven't gotten my gold or macaw back from Blizzard yet. I'm not sure how long it's supposed to take. I'd rather have the bird than the gold. It's more important and not as easily replaceable.

RE: Toplessness Post

Here is a link to a story the AP is running about a woman in Oregon exercising her right to be topless.

Carrying a Laser

I was sitting at my computer, reading the news, when"Kyrie" by Mr Mister starting playing on my iTunes. No song manages to carry the same amount of disappointment for me. I have no idea what kyrie eleison means (ok, I looked it up, and it's Greek for 'Lord have mercy') by there is no way it can top "carrying a laser." The song even makes more sense if you think that he's carrying a laser down the road he must travel! There could be aliens or zombies! Of course he needs a laser.

Side note: spelling laser "lazer" makes my eyes bleed.
