Just got the new iPhone app for Posterous.  Good gravy is it slick.  Instant uploading of pictures and video made so easy even a troglodyte like me can do it without fouling things up.

she likes legislation
cloture votes and quorum calls

I Am A Disenfranchised Voter

November 6th, 2008 No comments

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 No comments

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.

[ From http://www.qando.net/ - It’s Obama! ]

Separated At Birth, Part II

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.
