Random Things I'm Thinking About

1) Reading bumper stickers on a van the other day - on the left, one sticker says "Who Would Jesus Abort?" To the right of that..."Bush Cheney 2004." Hmm. (!)

2) Following an SUV the other day, the spare tire cover reads "Land Rover" and underneath the words, there is a picture of a beaver. Um, wouldn't that be "River Rover?"

3) I would love to see a Saturday Night Live skit on the VP debate last night. The Cheney guy could sit there and cover his mike while expounding intelligently as the Edwards guy writes furiously and then rips his pen across the paper, making a really loud noise. Next the Edwards guy would tear paper out of his notebook and finally in the end, Edwards would pelt the VP with paperwads, while Cheney continued his muffled political expostion...

4) I feel guilty about not spending more time on my blog.

5) Why do we even have political debates? All it is is spin, spin, spin. The facts are never facts really. I would like to see a debate where one candidate gets to present a worldview - the world as I see it (and here's how I see it) requires this (and here's what it requires). Instead, candidates just take an issue - healthcare - and talk about it like it's completely unrelated to anything else. So that, in one breath, Edwards can complain about "outsourcing jobs" and then turn around and suggest we use Canadian prescription drugs. I actually agree with him, (if he's saying what I think he's saying) but the point is that the set-up of these debates is such that issues show up like little plops...little islands...little unrelated realities. I hate that.

6) I was glad the VP Cheney didn't respond to Edwards' discussion of the marriage ammendment. I felt sad for him and proud of him, all at the same time. He knows that ammendment proposal is ridiculous. He knows that ammendment proposal is Dr. Dobson's creation. Ok, well maybe he doesn't know that, but that's what I think...

7) When I was a little girl, my teachers called me lazy because I didn't find their busy work very interesting. I'm 30 now and I've decided to come to the rescue of that little girl. Back off, you boring teacher! Here's a clue...either TEACH something or let her go play on the playground! And by the way, who's calling who lazy? You're the one sitting on your BUTT passing out stupid crossword puzzles! Plah!!
