They squick me out. I'm a relatively moderate gal, but even in my moderation I'm rabid, as I get super-annoyed when folks actually get all party-line in my face.<BR/><BR/>And okay, you've proven childbirth isn't the only way one's brains can leak out as we age ;)Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14775794907218052899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31322943.post-57747607365317672892007-07-05T13:26:00.000-05:002007-07-05T13:26:00.000-05:00Okay, yes...I was right on with that one. Well, R...Okay, yes...I was right on with that one. Well, Republicans be damned anyway. The Democrats have the ticket--again with my limited knowledge of US politics.<BR/><BR/>In Canada it can be quite funny in certain ridings. We have a Communist Party, a Marijuana Party...Libertarian...gee, what else? It sometimes depends if they can all get their acts together and get a candidate but I've voted at times where all three have been active in elections. I find it truly hilarious.<BR/><BR/>When I get frustrated, I am so tempted to vote for the Marijuana party...it wouldn't even split the vote between our three major ones (Conservative, Liberal and NDP--New Democratic Party.)<BR/><BR/>PA usually votes NDP (despite the fact that they are pro-union and she is not) but really, you can't have it all, right? They are the most leftist. Sometimes she's voted Liberal but Conservative? Good lord. Especially not lately where our Conservative Prime Minister is affectionately referred to as "Bush Lite." I know it's actually spelled Busch but it's a pun--sorry, I'm insulting your intelligence now. I just wanted to show off mine with my knowledge of American beer.<BR/><BR/>Now he's not as hardcore as Tony Blair who I realize just got the boot but I'm not really up to snuff on UK politics either.<BR/><BR/>To be honest, I hate discussing politics--and religion. I was such a smart little thing as a kid that I debated a lot of points then and I think my parents (or at least my father) got a kick out of "showing me off." Yes, trained monkey PA.<BR/><BR/>He wanted me to become a lawyer actually. Which brings me back to our point about funding for University (or lack thereof.) Now how he arrived at this lawyer suggestion, I don't know. A trial lawyer as I liked to debate? There are many branches of law and that type of litigation isn't really like you see on television anyway. At least to my (again limited knowledge.) So far I've only proven that I know of Anheuser-Busch.<BR/><BR/>So yes, Politics, Religion--only unless people are tolerant, it's just not worth it. You end up getting into huge arguments and ugh. I hate it. Maybe it's one-sided but I prefer to talk about these things with people of like mind? HA! Or again, who are tolerant of my views...?<BR/><BR/>I don't know...it gets tiresome, though. It's like, let's talk about something more interesting. Sorry, I'm so tired I'm completely rambling.<BR/><BR/>I have this idea for a post but I don't know if I can pull it off. I want to try and be "smart" on my blog but oh dear...my brain is slowly leaking out of every orifice in my head right now...gray and white matter is everywhere.<BR/><BR/>And you thought it was only during delivery of children.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31322943.post-65373347697321965952007-07-03T21:24:00.000-05:002007-07-03T21:24:00.000-05:00Yeah, Senator John Kerry, the "At least he's not G...Yeah, Senator John Kerry, the "At least he's not George W.

I'm definitely a blogaholic, so I tend to web surf enough (read: too much -- yes, I effectively avoided cleaning the house today) to stumble across some really good sites.<BR/><BR/>Of course, then I have to go to blogrolling and put them in, which can take awhile... because, well, procrastination!<BR/><BR/>And on the allergies, heh, yep! I was talking to Himself this evening and paused to sneeze, thanked the cat (seated upon my lap, per Her Majesty's usual habit), then went on as if nothing were unusual.<BR/><BR/>I can't bear sleeping with them, though, because I wake up feeling hungover.
