It's like the Pajama Disco, without the Bee Gees.

I picked up at 9-5 shift on the Saturday of a holiday weekend simply because I wanted to work with the peeps who were working today. I know, right? But they are good peeps and I enjoy them. H thinks it's weird that I came to work in my pajamas. It's not though. It's monsterously comfortable.
I saw a butterfly when I was sitting outside on my lunch break. It was awesome, that one that looks like a monarch but isn't. Not being much of an "outside" person (especially in the sunlight-Ew!) I was then chased back into the building by a yellow-jacket the size of a freaking black hawk helicopter. Anyway, I've barely gotten a chance to talk to my peeps because we're so damn busy. I've been trying to post this LJ for the last 3 hours.

Sent a total of 2 Emails to the chick who is handling promotions for the Vampire Ball. If I can get a table, I'm totally going. Not exactly sure what kind of gay apparel I will don, but it'll be groovy. Anyway, I haven't heard back from the chick yet. Hope I do because I'd really love to have a good reason to see Voltaire sell some books. Speaking of Voltaire, sudrin is bringing me a coveted Voltaire Key from Dragon*Con. I will surely be posting a pic of it nestled snugly in my awesome cleavage for you's.

I'm still not clear on what all the hoo-ha is about in re: Obama talking to the kids. "Stay in school" is not exactly a politcal message even though public schools are the first sign of a socialist nation. ;-] Kids are mandated to pledge allegiance to a flag (and a god) every day; but now the POTUS wants kids to stay in school and people are acting like he's...well, I don't want to say Hitler but some kind of sinister plotter with an agenda to turn kids against their parents or some shit. davidbain was just saying that if Obama told people to brush their teeth, thousands of people would let theirs rot out of their heads because OMG Teh Socializzm!1!!
Granted, many of these complainy-pants people have no problem subsidizing a war but think giving everyone health care is a travesty; so there's no guarantee of sanity I guess... I've always thought that pulling your kid out of sex ed at school was reactionary, unrealistic and borderline unhealthy for them. This? I have no words, frankly. I hated W, HATED him, but I didn't think he needed to be kept away from children. That's just weird, isn't it?

Excuse me, groovesinorbit It's not about race. Many on the left play the race card, when this man is the head of the Republican party: I am so very very exhausted trying to explain that we dislike the content of Obama's character, not the color of his skin. The party of Lincoln is not judging Obama because he's black.

[groovesinorbit]

Oh, please. That's the best you can do, Michael Steele? A fucking Uncle Tom who had to kiss Rush Limbaugh's sorry ass when he got uppity? Why do you think the Republican party picked him? One reason: because Obama's black.

Indeed. And I'm sure the reds choosing Steel to front them and then throwing him to the dogs every time he opens his mouth has nothing to do with race. Making a black guy the face of the party is every bit as manipulative and absurd as nominating a brain-fart like Palin for VP because she happens to have the same parts as someone people already liked.

I am sickened and offended that Americans can't see through that posing and posturing.

Also, you have never met Obama. You have never spoken with him. Ergo, you have no fucking idea of the content of his character. And using an MLK quote to mollify your stance of "They" are "evil" and "dangerous" while "we" are "moral" and "the good guys" is grossly offensive.

Since you brought it up, you'd think the "Party of Lincoln" would be a little less ridiculous about gay people. Arguably, Lincoln was gay himself. And if you do your research, he was not exactly a strong proponent of minorities. The EP was a largely a political move. Not to mention, that there are plenty of red congressmen who are only one generation removed (purportedly, I don't know them) from KKK ties.
