Thoughts on Obama etc...
Oct. 20th, 2008 11:22 amMoveOn.org wants more volunteers to go door to door in Ann Arbor to talk about Obama. I'm not going to do it, even though I probably could make the time. I just don't think it's neccessary. Obama signs lurk everywhere around here, and most of the people i know in town are already voting "correctly."
And yet...
I'm not so sure Obama is going to win this thing. And if he does, I'm going to be damn frightened for him. Watching McCain's fans on YouTube and on the news, I am horrified at how much ignorance, stupidity and racism there still is in this country. Living in Ann Arbor, it's easy to forget.
And the whole Obama/Osama thing? People are still making an assertion that because part of their names rhyme, they must be in cohoots. WTF?!? That's like saying that because Charles Manson was a bad guy, that we should also watch out for Ted Danson, and the guys from Hanson. Honestly, does that make one damn bit of sense? Only if you're a fucking moron.
My weekend was fairly unremarkable. I didn't get much work done on my new NaNo project. I was too busy playing with the computer and having fun. I drank two run and cokes on Saturday, so I had quite a little buzz on for a while there. H's and my first anniversary was yesterday, which we are celebrating today with presents and dinner at Pizza House (actually, we're having them deliver). I got him Ironman, and he got me print outs of the wedding pics, which I'd been asking him for for almost a year. So I can finally finish the album I got from
abinthofheart's mom. And yes,
pak_man78 I know she's your mom too!
