Anya Christina Emmanuella Jenkins. Twenty years old. Born on the fourth of July — and don't think there weren't jokes about that my whole life, mister, 'cause there were. 'Who's our little patriot?' they'd say, when I was younger and therefore smaller and shorter than I am now.

Same.
So on the down side, it's raining again. On the upside, it has washed away the birdshit on my office window! So that's nice.

It's all gray drizzle here, too. Blech.

In other random news of my morning, I did not realize (or had forgotten) the head of the EPA is from Boston! Until I heard her on NPR this morning, and she has the best accent. Also her name is Gina McCarthy, which is a totally classic Boston name, because everyone here is Irish and/or Italian.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
What's interesting to me (though, as always, the plural of anecdote is not data) is I have a number of friends and family members who typically vote Republican who are backing Bernie this time around (and not in a "He'll be easier to beat by our guy" way). I've also got a few who are probably staying home on Election Day because they don't like any of the GOP offerings, but could never bring themselves to vote for a Democrat.
On the other hand, I've got one uncle who is hardcore for Trump, so you can't win them all.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Huh. I guess I have a Boston name, too

I think it only fully becomes a Boston name when you say "McCaahhhhthy."

Coding and Sleeping
I'm supporting Bernie in the primary because I think his vision would really improve people's lives in a meaningful way. No, he wouldn't be able to get it through congress, but electing him might help move things in that direction.
I expect Hillary to get the nomination and she'll definitely get my vote in the general if she does. I don't dislike Hillary by any means, and I find the idea of Bill being First Lady to be really satisfying. I don't think she will be able to work with congress either though.
Until more representatives and senators are more worried about general elections instead of being challenged from the right in the primaries, then I don't see any reason from them not to block everything a democratic president tries to accomplish.
