The Ravings of Demented Rabbits

Electioneering

So today's a pretty typical day for the last week. Kind of like this:

"So, Erik. You're going to go do job hunting stuff today, right?"

"That's the plan. In like half an hour."

*ten minutes later*

"Erik, could you go [thing]?"

"And while you're at it, [thing] and [thing]?"

*three hours later*

"So, you're still going out, right?"

"Um, yeah. After I do the now hour's worth of stuff I need to do, I'll go into town for like, an hour of productive work. Maybe not."

But anyway. I've been in an awfully political mood lately, given the whole DNC going on and everything. Told the family to fuck off and listened to Kerry's speech even, and I don't recall having done that in a primary before. OTOH, the parental types may not even know there's a convention on, and I don't think they care, whereas they've been pretty avid watchers of such events for as long as I can remember. Hrm.

At any rate, Kerry's speech was really good. In fact, I pretty much liked most of the speeches I heard/saw transcripts of. Dems got a good bunch of writers this year.

Links aside, I don't think I have any commentary on the thing apart from what I said in my last post. By now, the reasons to replace Bush with Kerry are either very clear to you, or they're not. If Kerry's speech, and the preceeding stuff did anything, it was to make me feel better about Kerry as my candidate for doing so, and it pretty much did.

That aside, and to reply in part to Tim's comment down below, it's probably about time that I blathered about Iraq again, because it's been a while since I have. But I'll do that later.

Also, to the porn spammers who've been spamming my comments, take a hint from your product, and go fuck yourselves.
