Also, thanks for the condolences last night. I can be a little weird when it comes to mourning.
Wash: Well, I wash my hands of it. It's a hopeless case. I'll read a nice poem at the funeral. Something with imagery. Zoe: You could lock the door and keep the power-hungry maniac at bay. Wash: Oh, no, I'm starting to like this poetry idea now. Here lies my beloved Zoe, my autumn flower, somewhat less attractive now she's all corpsified and gross...

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
If you want to imagine what American politics will be like, think about Japan.... Japan had a remarkably stable leadership from the end of World War II until their bubble burst in the 1990s. As the country has stumbled over the last two decades, unable finally to extricate from its slump, it has suffered through a rapid of succession of leaders, several of whom, like Obama, have stirred hopes of renewal and reform, only to create disillusionment and despair within the electorate.... That kind of political instability is both cause and effect of Japan's inability to transform its economy and international relations to meet the challenges of a new century.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
I'm trying not to be pissed off at the results.
Gah. Some choad on Facebook (someone from high school who tracked me down) just posted "Watching Obama try to make sense in his press conference...some people JUST DON'T GET IT!"
It would be wrong of me to comment with "You're right -- SOME people don't.", wouldn't it? (See what I did there?)
Also, I just checked the election results, and I was wrong -- 4 of the candidates I voted for actually won. Only 1 was running unopposed. How the hell did the machine let the other 3 through, is what I want to know.

For some reason I am now envisioning Hypnochoad.

Healthcare and affirmative action both went down, but surprisingly, constitutional right to hunting did too.
Ah, whereas in TN, the proposal to enshrine the right to hunt and fish in the state constitution passed by 90%.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

I am sad and depressed. I skipped angry altogether.
Chicago mayoral race should be fun and I can't even vote in it anymore since I moved out of the city. The only mayor I've known is Daley.

Oh dear. My co-worker just got called to jury duty and has to show up at 1. The problem being that she has to go to Brussels on Friday for an Investigator's Meeting. And she needs tomorrow to take care of everything so that I'm not saddled with all of her cases. Cross your fingers that it's over and done with today, please!
