i am just going to say this one thing about the midterms.
“I’m tired of working for candidates who make me think that I should be embarrassed to believe what I believe, Sam. I’m tired of getting them elected. We all need some therapy, because somebody came along and said ‘liberal’ means soft on crime, soft on drugs, soft on Communism, soft on defense, and we’re gonna tax you back to the Stone Age because people shouldn’t have to go to work if they don’t want to!” And instead of saying, “Well, excuse me, you right-wing, reactionary, xenophobic, homophobic, anti-education, anti-choice, pro-gun, Leave It To Beaver trip back to the Fifties…!”, we cowered in the corner, and said, “Please. Don’t. Hurt. Me.” No more. I really don’t care who’s right, who’s wrong. We’re both right. We’re both wrong. Let’s have two parties, huh? What do you say?”
(The West Wing)
Later I really am going to post some pictures of the Topsfield Fair.

I kinda love that. Living in Utah, I totally get it… feeling sheepish because everyone thinks everyone’s on the same page, politically–very red–and guess what, some of us aren’t. (SURPRISE!)
Anywho, you’re great. This is great. I really think I need to watch the West Wing, although my hubs is averse to politics… could get interesting.
