The End


I'm free at last! Tonight was the last cult (I mean cub scout) meeting of the year. Whew. I wasn't sure I'd make it out alive.

And I thought I was the only one...


So here I am, feeling guilty as hell for not blogging or even checking my gmail, and I look tonight and see that no one else is either. What a relief. I love you people. It's 2:30am, I can't sleep, and my left hand smells like cheese where I finished off the last of a cheese ball I found in the fridge. A more sane person would wash their hands but I just keep sitting here periodically sniffing my hand to see if the smell is still there. Yep.

On Tuesday I had to go to traffic court. About a month ago I got a ticket for having an expired tag while serving jury duty. I thought that was really shitty. And I stepped in gum. I was all ready to plead not guilty and the judge didn't even ask me "how do you plea"! He totally stole my thunder. He just looked at my ticket and said, "Dismissed on payment of court cost". I had a whold dramatic scene planned out and he RUINED it! I hope he steps in gum. I hope the pig who wrote the ticket steps in gum on both shoes. I hope the bitchy lady in the office at the municipal court steps in gum too!

Cheesy hand started to smell less like cheese and more like ass crack (can I say ass crack?) so I had to break down and wash me hands.

Anyway, I very rarely watch the news, but you would have to be living under a rock not to have heard that Oprah is officially supporting Obama for President. I like Obama and I love Oprah. I don't know if this is enough to get him elected, but when I write the great American novel she is the first person I'm sending it to. My personal favorite democratic candidate is Kucinich. I don't think it's very likely that he will get the nomination, though. He's about as left as you can get. I was really excited about Hillary running, a woman prez and all that jazz, until I saw her in a debate. She's really pretty conservative. I'm not sure I agree with her views. Is she sure she's a democrat? I'm not. One thing I heard that gives me hope for the future is the health care plan she and Barack have cooked up. I believe all Americans should have health care. Anyone willing to stand up to the drug companies has balls. I would vote for either one of them based soley on that issue. My father-in-law says all democrats are trying to take our guns away. Is this true? I look at Hillary and I think she could be the type. She'll never take my gun! OK, my theoretical gun since I don't own an actual gun. The family's general consensus is that I shouldn't have access to firearms. The reason Kucinich is my favorite is his stance on gay rights. LOGO, the all gay network, interviewed the democratic hopefuls and asked each one if they believed gays should have the right to get married. You should have seen them squirm! What is this bullshit about civil unions? Where did that idea even come from? Kucinich said (I'm paraphrasing here, don't know if this is exactly how he said it, so I'm not sure how to punctuate) it basically comes down to whether or not you believe in equality. He supports gay marriage. This is the most sane, logical viewpoint. How can republicans not see this? It makes me crazy! My ideal candidate would be pro gay, pro gun, right to choose (sounds so much better than pro abortion), pro health care, anti government, anti war, would do away with the no child left behind act and get serious about education, and leave the mexicans alone! They're not hurting us as badly as the republicans want us to believe!

So there you have my rambling spew. Happy Holidays.
