Oh dear. Is it time to play feminist concern troll bingo with Chris Trotter?

McCain: now with extra special pandering and tokenism! I just commented elsewhere that this woman ticks so many boxes it's like she was grown in a lab.
(Except I imagine that she is totally against growing people in labs.)

I just watched The Speech (complete with its following crazy-dogwhistling-spin from the Fox commentators). Christ I hope he wins. It would be so nice to have someone not actually despicable in that office...
(I'm also going to go all Queen Latifah and say that I truly love his message of unity. I've been ranting about how pernicious and stupid the Red State/Blue State thing is for years. I *hate* that meme. It's just an excuse for dismissiveness.)

Jenny Shipley, spreading her legs
Do you mind? I was just having my lunch.
<waves> Hey, you guys? You might make a few of us with vaginas who don't appreciate slut-shaming metaphors a little uncomfortable with that one.

MST3K... now *there* was a show.
-
the fried sweetbreads which - I swear I am not making this up - were one of their standard side dishes
That is just plain awesome. Bring back offal-based fast foods! Liver on a stick! Kidney chips! Intestines in gravy!
I completely forgot about KFC's bean salad. Huh. When did that disappear? I liked it too.

To me, it's a wonder we accept very small dogs at all.
I see where you're coming from. I have two big behemoth dogs myself. But there's something to be said for a little dog in certain circumstances. I imagine once I get to a certain age I won't want to deal with a big hairy 30 kilo stalker/pet sleeping on my lap. A little poodle that fits in a handbag might be just the ticket.

This is all fascinating. I am the world's most sound and boring sleeper. I fall asleep within minutes between 10-11 and without the usual weekday 6am alarm, I wake up at about 7 or 8. I don't wake up during the night at all, even if there's a loud noise like an ambulance siren. In fact, stress or illness makes me sleep *more*, rather than keeping me awake. Perhaps I have narcoleptic tendencies...?
The only way I can stay up all hours is with, erm, chemical enhancement.
(For some reason I can accept very small dogs in strange little outfits far more easily than medium-sized or large dogs. Have I been brainwashed by years of anthropomorphised toy poodles/chihuahuas in popular culture?)

Giovanni, you have jinxed him. I just know it. :)
I have just requested an absentee ballot. It is absurdly complicated (like all American paperwork). I get a distinct feeling they don't want me to vote...

Am I the only one creeped out that the play-out music was a cheesy "Isn't she lovely"?
She quoted Sly Stone in the speech, though...
