[random, some links] sorry, this _is_ mostly political

[wispfox]

I was very charmed last night by seeing a man and a very small child (presumably father and daughter), with the father spinning around in circles, holding the child on his shoulders.


starandrea's Notice of the day today is rather amusing. Go, New England!

I refused to stay up last night to watch the election results, and it appears that was a wise choice. Especially since we have lots of waiting to do for Ohio!

I can't decide if I'm scared or disappointed by the fact that apparently half the country actually approves of Bush. (Or, at least, they think they do...)

tafkar notes the worrisome aspect of a single party holding sway over all three branches of the government, along with a link to explain why.

I've never really been a political person. I'm not very good at it, and I know it. The past four years have made me _far_ more political than I normally am, but I'm also reminded strongly of why I normally avoid it. I'm so _tired_ of politics. So very, very tired. So while I know there are still more things that can be done, I'm just too tired of it all. And it's not like I'm very _good_ at political things; I tend to not be able to remember specific facts/points well enough to have even a vaguely useful debate about much of anything.

Indeed. That would certainly explain a lot!

Why was I awake???

Your election!

Also, I'm a night owl who doesn't work.

Both good reasons, although I didn't stay up Tuesday night because I knew I couldn't do anything else about the end result anyway. :)

Oh, I'm a Sixties Babe (just), and couldn't possibly have slept whilst such an important election was on, one that had such significance to us, given our own rotten result.

I can't make up my mind about visiting the US yet.
It's probably a good bit more dangerous now. But then it's going to get worse before it gets better,I expect.

I have this odd ability to sleep when everything I could do was done, regardless of whether or not I know the final results. (well, presuming I'm not being an insomniac just because)

Yeah. Likely, that is all true. Would be nifty if you did, though...

We'll see. I've friend to contact about it first.
