I'm Coming Up Only To Hold You Under

*To my Republican friends - Look away! I am talking Democratic politics. I don't want to bore y'all!*

Ok here is my beef with Obama. Voting present cause something is not perfect. Not taking a stand on making people have health care cause it is not perfect. I have a nasty little feeling that the man will be unable to shit or get off the pot if something is NOT perfect. I hesitate to use the whole black and white thing since apparently the whole race issue has stupidly arise (mostly cause folks are looking it) but Dude...fucking grey exists. There are going to be times where you are going to have to make the best of a two less than perfect choices. NOT making a decision is not a choice it is a cop out. I feel like I have been sold a vision of America that is lovely but fuzzy.

I hate to say it but damn, this is a fairy tale. A beautiful, kumbayah, love the one you're with fairy tale. Change sounds great. Now FUCKING DEFINE IT. Grr.

Sorry. My people are frustrating me.

I still like Edwards. I have always liked Edwards. He is the only thing that made Kerry palatable to me in 04 and that was tall order. His pot shot at Hillary for the tearing up pissed me off, but unlike Obama I am capable of looking at the bigger picture. I gotta say I like Hillary more now than I did 6 months ago. And I like Obama too, but I have concerns that he may not be able to walk the walk and the damage that could cause to equality is huge.

On the other hand, like Bill Clinton said, we are currently having a campaign with a woman, a black man, a Mormon, and minister. That is pretty damn diverse and I do think King would have been proud. Even if the Mo and Min scare the shit out of me :P

Now then. I have burned the hell out of my mouth on my mini quiche. I need some form of dessert to comfort me.

Wolf Blitzer annoys me. "So poor, So black" Oy.

Ok..."Abilify" as the name of a bipolar drug? Who is naming drugs these day? It makes you more able to... That be stupid.

Sorry, that was a mental lane change :P

It is bitterly cold here and looks to be that way the rest of the week. And yet, I want ice cream. What's up with that?
