Thomas Jefferson’s Wisdom, Set in Stone

Saturday, April 25th, 2009

These are the 4 inside walls of the Thomas Jefferson Memorial in Washington, DC. 
 
I am not an advocate for frequent
changes in laws and constitutions.
But laws and institutions must go
hand in hand with the progress
of the humand mind. As that becomes
more developed, more enlightened,
as new discoveries are made, new
truths discovered and manners and
opinions change, with the [...]

President Obama

Thursday, January 22nd, 2009

It still feels good to say “President Obama” out loud.   Anything would be an improvement over the last guy but I really do feel like America just leveled up.  This was the first time I felt the desire to donate to a presidential candidate (and the second time…  I donated to Ron Paul and [...]

President Obama

Wednesday, November 5th, 2008

“President-elect Obama” has a helluva nice ring to it, doesn’t it?
Bonus: Dole’s desperate religious fearmongering failed and Hagan won.
Still not sure if Obama will win NC but, at this point, it doesn’t matter. What a great night.

Election Day 2008 : Barack Obama for President

Tuesday, November 4th, 2008

4 years ago, I called the election for John Kerry, though I didn’t vote for him.  And DAMN my country let me down.  The polls once again show the Democrat leading but, unlike last time, it is a nice, healthy lead.  We fucked that up last time. Today, I hope we redeem ourselves. 
If not, I’m [...]

New Rule: Ignore Dumb Questions

From now on, all stupid questions will be ignored. Maybe the person asking will realize the answer themselves. Maybe they’ll see Somethig shiny and wander away. Maybe they were just joking. Regardless of intent, all dumb questions will be regarded as trolling and ignored the first time they are asked.
If it is a [...]

Early Voting Rocks!

Saturday, October 18th, 2008

I voted Friday (the second day of early voting in NC) and will probably never vote on election day again. There was almost no line and the what little line there was consisted of about a dozen people sitting in comfortable (ie padded) chairs. Plus, the early voting spot is a block from my home. [...]

Vote Early, Vote Often

Sunday, October 5th, 2008

I never understood why people would vote for “the lesser of two evils” until I saw John McCain turn from the man I wanted to vote for 8 years ago into a man I am completely afraid of now.
I didn’t mind when G. W. Bush was first “elected”; I preferred him over Gore. I [...]
