Blather

From [livejournal.com profile] rougewench: Huckabee: ‘amend the Constitution’ to ‘God’s standards.’ Holy crap. Literally.

It took a survey to figure this out? LONDON (Reuters) - Bad news for Coco and Blinko -- children don't like clowns and even older kids are scared of them.

Today is a fat day. BLEH. It helps, in a sad and sick way, to have my fat days on fast days. Nothing like feeling like a lump of doughy goo to depress the desire to eat.

E-mail has been out campus-wide today. For about three hours this morning, I couldn't even access my local machine because I locked it when I stepped away from my desk and it wouldn't let me force logoff when I returned from the bathroom. Lovely. So I finished a hat.

Why hasn't Kring's Interiors called to tell my my laminate is in? Why?? Why?!? Doesn't the distributor know I am pining to get started on this project? Sigh. I suppose it's just as well. There's no way [livejournal.com profile] mckitterick is going to haul out the table saw in this weather.

Curses.

Speaking of cursed projects: due to the broken water main, there was No Felting Of The Slippers yesterday evening. Instead, [livejournal.com profile] bestill, [livejournal.com profile] mckitterick and I spent a lovely evening at Ingredient, sharing two pizzas, a bottle of wine, and those horrifically tasty giant donut holes they serve for dessert. But tomorrow! Tomorrow we felt.

Rats. I shouldn'ta mentioned pizza and donut holes. Or, probably, wine.

I doubt that Huckabible would succeed in his wishful theocracy. We can always refer to him as "Nehemiah Scudder."

I dunno. If they can get enough people to vote him into office (or if they can fix things so it appears so), I'd say it's not so unlikely. I mean, in 1998 would you have guessed that the current administration would be able to invade our privacy to the extent that it has?

Ah, but they have not done one dmnd thing via constitutional means. They have ignored it and subverted it, but they have not attempted to change the document itself.

When Huckabible speaks of changing the Constitution, he is on a totally wrong track.

True. Good point.

So why don't I feel any safer?

Well, how much do you carve to be a submissive baby factory? That can be done in a relative wink via funding, and via some other sneaky things I'd just as soon not discuss as if they were rational or anything.

Well, I feel safer. I love it when someone shoots themselves in the foot, right out of the gate. Makes the race a lot more clear.

...

Then again, if he can win after that comment, I may need to finally write-off America...
