Not something I talk about a lot, because, well... I see enough of it and other people usually word it better, anyway. Uh.

Voting results and other news pertaining to how the country's run has made me rather happy. Not so happy that we kept our governor/lieutenant governor, but pretty much everything else? Awesome. Also, Tarrant lost, which was more than enough to make my week. :)


I just really, really hope that next time, we don't see the massive hoards of negative ads that came around this year. I know this is probably stupid to hope for, but honestly I don't care what tremendous atrocities your rival has supposedly committed. Ads claiming that "BERNIE* IS EVIL. HE EATS BABIES AND LIKES RAPIST OMG" are... really stupid, especially considering most people realize you're obscuring facts to the point of near-fiction. (Also, telling us your rival is a big meanie-head really isn't going to work, not when we've been electing him forever a long time. Plus it's like something a middle schooler would do. Don't be a middle schooler.)

Really, I want to know what you are going to do if we vote for you, not what the competition has already done.


* Used Bernie because I mentioned Tarrant earlier, not because I am specifically picking on Tarrant's ads (though I may as well be, as I've certainly done it enough). You could plug almost any of the candidates in there.

Yes, I realize this is all old news and that the election was two whole days ago. Quiet.



Unrelated! Classics Wave 2 is out and we still haven't seen Wave 1 here. Hasbro.com, here I come. ...This is perhaps more annoying than it really should be. I will blame it on NaNo slowly chipping away at my mind.

Over dinner tonight, my parents started discussing the Pope's remarks about Islam and how out of line it was. The reactions apparently only help prove the point (death threats again?), but then most people wouldn't take any of that well. You shouldn't kick the underdogs. Of course, it's dangerous to kick the ones on top, as well, but...

Dad said that most people at work agree, but there's the one Catholic who defends the Pope no matter what, just as there's the one Republican who defends Bush no matter what. Loyal to the title and all. I commented, "It's the hat that counts" (as opposed to the person holding the station). Mom commented on how Bush has one hat and no cattle, while the Pope has another hat and is slaughtering the cattle. Me, I spent the rest of the meal snickering to myself.


...I'm sure this is already a running joke somewhere. But whatever.



On another subject, there's a kid in my drawing class who is disgustingly full of himself. This wouldn't be so bad if he could draw even half as well as he seems to think he can. Arg. His ego needs to be taken down a few notches, but if he keeps not following the rules for the assignments, that shouldn't take too terribly long.
