So Jooj and I went to the early voting place at the local strip mall, and I voted for a candidate, and not much else. And I thought about how I was, essentially, choosing the least douchey of three douchebags.
And then I thought about how, in the olden days, people (not necessarily me) had opinions that mattered to them. They protested and sat-in, and all sorts of things like that. My biggest issue, these days, is getting ticked off when it is so windy that the satellite gets knocked out right in the middle of Passions. (Theresa just got eaten by a shark! And the demon midget elf is back to cause mischief!)
And then I thought, I should let my voice be heard. I should speak out for things that I believe in, and should be not afraid to make my opinions known.
1. Con: If you have bunions do not get a tatoo on your toe. It makes us all have to look at your bunions.
2. Pro: I won some Dropps cleaning products and love them. They are the greatest thing ever made for my washing machine.
3. Con: You should not lock your kids out of the house and refuse to let them back in. Kick them outside to play, by all means. But don't deny them entry. Home is a place of refuge where we are always welcome. By the same token, none of this "Okay, if you are not coming, I will leave you..." at the store nonsense. Kids should never ever have to worry, even for a second, that their folks are going to leave them. Sorry to disagree.
4. Pro: Parsnips. Delicious.
5. Con: labeling the Easter peanut butter eggs from Reeses as "Reester Eggs." Because I want a little more gonorrhea with my chocolate.
6: Pro: Legal immigration. Come on in, pay some taxes, follow the rules, buy our stuff.
7. Cons: Socialized health care. I spent this weekend in the ER for 10 hours. I can't believe that people who think that there should be government-given health care for all have ever been to the ER for any amount of time on a weekend. It is the most horrible, ridiculous place ever. And if more people have socialized medicine, more people will be waiting for a flu shot at 3 am.
8. Pro: Dr Who.
9. Con: Dr Scholl's commercials where they repeat "I'm Gellin."
Are you fer it, or agin it? Let me know!

I'm fer the good ole days when you could vote for something and not just against and when you didna have to be a bazillionaire (read: completely out of touch with the rest of us poor slugs) to be president.
I'm not opposed to telling your kid if he doesn't put his seatbelt on you're going to make him walk, but only if you mean it.
I'm fer socialized chocolate and fer eggs (the normal, regular kind, not organic or imported or double-yolked kind) not costing me $2/dozen.
I'm for the end of political parties. Immigration in general otherwise we'd all be eating maize and squash or worse yorkshire pudding and haggis.
I'm against walmart, it's just pure evil. I'm against teenagers. I'm against killer bees.
loved this, it made me smile. Love your pros and cons...the ghonorreah with the chocloate was the best.
Socialized medicine. Yuck. I've lived in countries where there is socialized medicine and it has it's drawbacks. I wish everyone could afford it, but we make sure that it is the first thing we pay for, before cable, before entertainment. Period. Because that is what you do.
Have a good week!
I stopped watching Soaps forever the day my favorite character became a demon (Marlena, Days of our Lives)
I have never locked my kids outta the house. But I did put my kid outside the car because he/she would not stay in his/her carseat (it was a booster, the 5 point harness/straightjacket one was in use by younger child) and pretended to drive away. I cried harder than the kid did and have barely forgiven myself. Thank you for letting me unload that. Whew!
I don't really give a shizz what they call 'em, I love Reese's Peanut Butter Eggs.
And, I just sent copies of Believing Christ to 3 different friends. Love that book.
I HATE that I'm Gellin commercial.
I never had parsnips until I was 25. They are good.
Really? Parsnips??
Who knew?!
Thank you for using "douchebag" in it's proper context. I also enjoy "douchebaggery" and "douchedangle"
I appreciate it.
Ah, KK, "rampant douchbaggery" is one of the hubs' favorite expressions.
And Amy, Parsnips are carroty. Anth, welcome to the fold!
b--Demons make the soaps MUCH better. Why, yesterday the demon elf made literal monkeys fly out of Tabitha's butt! Party on, Garth!
bek-I love you. Quit reading blogs and go take a nap.
And Stew and CW, what do we do without parties? Who would run? Not me, that's for sure. And yes, Im agin' the Killer Bees. And, according to all accounts, CW's teenagers are the only ones in existence that we should be fer.
Washington managed to make it without a political party. Although the absence of parties would lead toward demagoguery.
I totally ditto you on numbers 8 & 9!! I might take a stand on the other if I a) weren't too tired, and b) really had an opinion/leg to stand on ;)
I just had a flash-back of me saying "ooh reesty" because I wanted to be like my sister (she said it ALL the time). I should really send her some reester eggs.
Pro: andes mint chips in cookies. mmmmm
con: eating nine andes mint chips cookies before bed.
