Rolling On The Floor Laughing My Ass Off

I generally eschew the use of internet/texting shorthand: OMG!....IMHO...WTF?...etc. It doesn't bother me to read it, but I have trouble using it myself because it makes me feel like a sixteen year old girl trying to be snappy. But if anything has ever called for a ROTFLMAO, it is this:

Obama Campaign Workers Angry Over Unpaid Wages

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Let me get this straight: they got paid...they just didn't get as much as they were told to expect.

I'd advise them to get used to it, but I'm skeptical that they will be motivated to do any sort of work to collect a paycheck after this.

Life Is Still Good

I just got back from voting. I walked home from our polling station as it is a beautiful fall morning. Sunny and nearly 50 degrees. As I crossed a ravine, the iPod kicked in with the theme to Masterpiece Theater. The sun filtered through the pines and the birch on each side of the road. It was one of those "I wish I could freeze this moment" moments; perhaps to pull it out in a couple of months when the world is cold and bleak. (Whether from the temperature or the political climate...it matters not.)

As one who always tries to find a silver lining in bad situations, I'm still working on seeing the bright side of a McCain loss. I have read some suggestions that four years of Obama will ensure a Republican landslide in 2012. If you think in terms of prison sentences, four years doesn't seem so long, but still...

If you're a liberal, however, I have a silver lining for you should McCain win: Canada still has large swaths of open land and a nationalized health care system.

You're welcome.
