Dear This Week

Vote

Do I really need to say it? Go vote.

If you're in Washington, vote for Christine Gregoire.
If you're in California, vote against Proposition 8 and against Proposition 4.
If you're on Colorado, vote against Ammendment 48.
If you're in South Dakota, vote against Measure 11.
If you're a US citizen, vote for Barack Obama.

If you're not certain of your status, go here: Can I Vote?

The 60th Seat

Now is the time to jam the airwaves of whichever benevolent higher power you believe in. For the love of all that is holy and good in the world, do not let Joe Lieberman wind up as the 60th non-GOP seat in the Senate. DON'T. Seriously, if I have to watch the Democrats kowtow to this asshole any longer, I'm going to hurl. He spoke at the fucking Republican convention, folks! This guy is not your friend. Quit trying to bribe him with chairmanships and start treating him with the same disdain he's shown for you.

I may be a frail old lady with one foot in the grave, but damn, is my car insurance ever cheap these days! So when do I get my discount super-early dinner at Denny's?

You kids get off my lawn!



(N.B. - It's 11:30 at night and I've spent the past several hours drinking coffee and struggling to write a statement of purpose. It's possible that I'm a bit punchy.)

Nuclear

It's pronounced exactly like it's spelled, dammit!

Vote for the party that can read the fucking pronunciation guide in a dictionary.
