@futuremouse: Sebelius is the charm to banish unwanted germs. I believe you learn it in your third year. The house elves cast it best, though they hate to get pigeonholed as only disinfectors.
@stacyinbean is a proud East Coast Librul Elitist: So, now Joe the Plumber is qualified to talk on foreign policy? Caribou Barbie, Joe The Plumber... is John McCain going to fill his staff and cabinet with the equivalent of the characters from The Beverly Hillbillies and The Andy Griffith Show?
@stacyinbean is a proud East Coast Librul Elitist: yeah I thought this was amazing, I turned to my husband and said 'wait does this guy really, really work for Fox news', Stop trying to con us Fox.
@stacyinbean is a proud East Coast Librul Elitist: I saw that on the Daily Show this morning! While I was frightened by the pinstripe/diagonal stripe conflict on his chest, I was heartened by him calling bullshit on JTB. God, I hope that guy gets busted for something totally stupid and falls off the radar NOW.
@emilyanne: That's the thing. Shepard Smith is like the FACE of Fox News (well, at least in terms of anchors; I suppose he's no Bill O'Reilly). And if even HE can say "WTF mofos, yall can't just sit there and MAKE SHIT UP," it means people MUST finally be waking up and smelling the coffee, right? Please, people? Waking up? Coffee? Mmm, reality smells good?
In Maine, Collins might pick up some points for going against McCain's robo-calls and she is the co-chair of his campaign here! She votes with Bush more often that Olympia Snowe does, plus she is big hawk, as the chair of the Armed Services Committe usually is. I hope her opponent, Allen wins, but Maine likes to keep our congressional reps split - we're mavericky like that!
NPR had an interesting little segment with two sothern, white male guys yesterday. One was for Obama because he thought that everyone should have health care and he didn't mind his taxes going into a pool that benefitted all. The other guy said he should be able to keep his taxes and they shouldn't help other people and he was afraid of change. That last bit - afraid of change - says it is a nutshell. Unfortunately for those folks, change is a fact and there is no way NOT to change! It is ever more clear that the Repugs are living in fear and lash out, which then lowers their ability to make rational decisions.
@Megan: Obviously you should visit. We have lots of good microbrews and wineries, and we are at the prime intersection of NorCal and BC bud.
I'm not a huge fan of Cantwell, but she held a rally at my college two years ago, and Obama came and spoke with her, and that was it-- I was the crazy Obama girl then, before 90% of my friends knew who he was. There were less than 1000 people there, and even the crazy conservative kids in my PoliSci class came to see him speak.

I've never been proud of a Fox News pundit before. I'm probably still not, but I was quite impressed.
