Changing web hosts and software. Do not fear change! Fear bills, instead.

that girl in the liquor store
she likes legislation
cloture votes and quorum calls
parliamentary machinations
I Am A Disenfranchised Voter
November 6th, 2008
I showed up to vote at 8:30 Tuesday morning and found that I could not vote. I may be part of a teeny tiny district, but ALL obstructions to our electoral process must be uncovered and the responsible parties punished, regardless of party affiliation. If this happens to you, don’t take it sitting down. Stand up and fight. Record everything you can about the situation: time, names, descriptions of people, and every last word of the confusing legalese they’ll use to keep you from voting, like “polls open at 10:00.”
2008 Presidential Election Wrap-Up
November 5th, 2008
My one post on the 2008 Presidential election is a direct copy of one made by Bruce “McQ” McQuain at Q&O:
Congratulations to the new President-elect, Barack Obama, and the Democrats on their victory last night.
Now comes the hard part.
I look forward to 4 years of enlightened, moderate, fiscally responsible and non-intrusive, liberty enhancing governance.
That’s my definition of “change” by the way.
If that’s not the case, look forward to hearing about it on a regular basis.
Until then – enjoy.

Separated At Birth, Part II
August 26th, 2008
Something about Michelle Obama has been bugging me ever since the first time I saw her on television — some tiny nagging visceral itch at the back of my brainstem. A few minutes ago, I finally realized what it was.
Skin and hair color aside, Michelle is a nearly a dead ringer for Reese Witherspoon.

It goes without saying that they’re a much more attractive pair than the last politically relevant fraternal twins I discovered.

If “Barack Obama is your new bicycle,” Joe Biden is the old cracked helmet you have to wear because your mom is too cheap to buy a new one.

Someday, perhaps, the memory of even these things will be pleasant.
Certain Things I Said Today About Living In Maine That A Friend Indicated I Should Slap Up Yet I Feel Reluctant About Doing So

ON DINNER
“This place is great! Let’s eat some sort of mollusk or crustacean again!”
ON DATING
“Saw old Millie Beals again down at the gas station. She was buying her weekly ration of Riunite and Pabst. For a 50-year-old woman, she looks like a fantastic 90-year-old. I threw it in her anyway, of course.”
ON SURVIVAL
“The water’s out again. I drank my own urine to stay alive because the ground is too frozen to dig a new well.”
ON WILDLIFE
“The goddammed deer are back again. The same doe I shot at with my thirty ought-six last week keeps nosing around the compost bin, even though there hasn’t been anything edible in there for years. I threw it in her anyway, of course.”
