'Tis the season to be voting

I haven't enjoyed a primary season like this one in SUCH a long time!

First, I'll say, I haven't paid as much attention to primaries in the past as I have this one, but damn, I sure picked a good one.

So, Clinton and Obama are in a dead heat (always thought that was a weird phrase). OK. I'm an Obama supporter, but if Clinton gets the nomination, I'm fine with that. If all of the Democratic contestants were still in the race, she wouldn't be my second choice either. However, if it's her, I can deal. I'd like to see how a female president would work. I think, very well. I do feel - though - that we need a real change in this country. The idea of Bush - Clinton - Bush - Clinton is not appealing to me at all. Yes, things were going well in the 90s, but that's so last millennium. Enough of the past. I think we need a real change, or - to paraphrase Monty Python - we need something completely different. I think that's Barack Obama.

As much as I like the fact that we have the choice - on the Democratic side - of either a black man or a woman this time (one of the best things ever), I am enjoying what's happening on the republican* side too. The right-wing pundits seem to hate McCain because he tries to work with the Democrats. Bottom line, that's their beef with McCain. He's too liberal, they say.

Let's look at their other choices:
Huckabee: The one still going after the now deflated Christian Conservatives. Yes, he took a few states in the South, but considering a lot of the now former leaders in the Christian Coalition are now defamed by their own devices, how is that really going to translate into a nomination?
Romney: He's the Ken doll that just dropped out so America doesn't "surrender to terror", so there's that. Personally, I think he's excuses are rhino-shit. I think either he made some deal with McCain or his five "patriotic" sons are getting worried about their inheritance.
Paul: Well, he gets little to no airtime, even when sitting or standing next to any of the other candidates, so no way he's getting the nomination. Sorry all you Ron Paul supporters out there...it ain't happening.

So, it's McCain and Huckabee left on the republican side. Right wingers hate McCain and Huckabee's going after the wrong part of the party. Sweet!
What's even better is how the right wing pundits are now saying they'll vote for Clinton over McCain. Limbaugh, Coulter, Beck. They've all said things about how they hate McCain and they'd rather vote for Clinton. McCain was booed at CPAC...and on and on...

Hypocracy, thy phrase is "right wing pundit"

* I do not capitalize the word "republican" until republicans start treating their Democratic opponents with a modicum of respect by not using the word Democrat as an adjective (ie. the "Democrat Congress") as Bushco. likes to do. It's demeaning and disrespectful and another fine example of republican douchebaggery (I know, redundant)

Weekly Road Trip, Volume 1

Every Tuesday, I drive down to Los Angeles from Ventura. More specifically, I head to Barney's Beanery in West Hollywood to host Trivia (9pm. Come check it out sometime!). After, I usually head to my good friend's home (that would be Pete & Cate) and enjoy a few hours hanging out with some of my very great, gracious and generous friends. The trip is 60 miles, each way. That gives me about 2 hours each Tuesday to listen to whatever music I have on my ipod. I have an 8GB so I tend to rotate music off and on it frequently. Recently, as suggested by my love, Emily, I listened to the entire ipod, alphabetized by song. That guaranteed I actually hear each song at least once. I highly recommend doing this. The only rules are: 1. No skipping any tracks 2. No repeating any tracks. It took me a few months to get through my ipod, from A to $64,000 (the last song was the theme song to the $64,000 Question). Since then, I have swapped out a lot of songs for new music. ...

"The Danksgiving Challenge"

For those of you that indulge in "herbal delights", here is a game I came up with at work today. I call it... "The Danksgiving Challenge" 1. Gather all of your friends and family around the Thanksgiving table around 10-15 minutes before serving begins. 2. Pass around your choice of pre-rolls (joints), pipes, bongs or whatever. Just so everyone gets at least a couple of really strong hits. 3. Serve dinner. Make sure everyone eats a lot of turkey. So far, pretty easy, yes? Well, now, here's the challenge: With the combination of THC and tryptophan in everyone's systems, the last person to doze off gets an extra piece of pumpkin pie! Happy Thanksgiving! Oh, and you're welcome.

A sample of Donald Trump’s inaugural speech (NSFW):

“We are gonna have an awesome country once again. When I get through with it, you won’t believe how great it will be. I’m gonna tell China to go fuck itself, and if they don’t like it, let ‘em try to collect on the debt we owe them. I will negotiate such a deal with China that they will want to give America the reacharound it deserves. As your president, I will make sure that Congress passes only the bills I want them to pass. If they try any of that attaching their bills to other ones, I am gonna grab them by the nuts and squeeze until they scream “UNCLE”! They have no idea what they are up against. I am gonna sign so many executive actions, it’ll make their heads spin. Then I am going to sue all the haters and losers that thought I couldn’t win. We’ll take all of that money and use it to fund all of my research on how to be a president and how to do presidential stuff. Believe me…BELIEVE ME, it’s gonna be a phenomenal eight years. Yeah, I said eight, because my first executive actio...
