Sadly, Laid-Back Thursday has been cancelled this week. {sob, sniff, groan} Yep, I am here on campus, hiding in my office, waiting for two meetings and my night class. I still need to prep ye’ ol’ night class, too. The good news is that my presentation is done for tomorrow’s Big Campus Research Event. And I even managed to hit the 20 minute mark in the first draft. Now, that never happens!
In political news:
- What the fuck is up with McCain? Oh yes, let’s cancel the debate. What-the-fuck-ever, dude. If you can’t multi-task, you’re certainly going to be a horrible president. (BTW, he also cancelled his Letterman appearance.)
- Maybe I should take all of my money out of the bank and bury it in the backyard just to spite W.? The interest rate at my bank is so sucky that my savings account only earned 43 cents in interest last month.
- To all you dipshits that voted for George W. Bush: Thumbs up for stupidity!
In critter-related news:
- We’ve had happy puppy updates. That’s good. (Added bonus: Waylon was actually potty trained, so his new owner is super happy. He even lets the puppy sleep with him.)
- Evil Kitten has taught Danger Kitten bad habits. You see, both Kats think they should attack the refrigerator door. Apparently, we humans are in *grave danger* from the magnets. I guess I’m going to have to break down and hide the damned things.
- Danger Kitten has taken a real shine to a little stuffed skunk. He is never without it. He carries it everywhere, dropping it, attacking it, attacking the humans that pick it up. I just hope he is this energetic if we ever have a mouse in the house.
Finally:
What the heck is up with this heat wave? I want to wear my new cashmire sweater but it’s like 90 degrees out there! {Bitch, Moan, Whine}
I now this is late but…
I think McCain’s wanting to cancel the debate was a ruse. What he really wants in the vice-presidential debate cancelled so his pit bull doesn’t end up with paw-in-mouth disease.
So it was re-schedule this debate in the slot of the VP debate and cancel that one so Palin isn’t shown to be the Empress without clothing that she is.
CQ — I also think it was some kind of political strategy. After seeing Palin’s interview with Katie Couric, well, I just don’t understand HOW people can even imagine voting for the ol’ ass guy.
People can imagine it because they have no concept of how the political system in this country functions. Also, the talk radio crowd just looks at it as the evil “liberal” media picking on poor little Buttercup.
This is also the same population that thinks that if the election ended up in a 269-269 Electoral College tie(assuming they know we don’t directly elect the president) that Obama would be the winner because the house is controlled by the democrats by total number of representatives. They don’t realize McCain would be the likely winner because each state is given one vote when the House of Representatives decides the election – meaning Wyoming has as much say as California in that scenario.
