The toughest part about deciding whether to vote McCain or Obama† is figuring out whether I would really rather fuck up Iraq and Iran or just Pakistan and Afghanistan. I mean, what happened to America’s can-do spirit? Is it too much to ask for a candidate who could do all four?

A Cock was busily scratching and scraping about to find something to eat for himself and his family, when he happened to turn up a precious jewel that had been lost by its owner.
“Aha!” said the Cock. “No doubt you are very costly and he who lost you would give a great deal to find you. But as for me, I would choose a single grain of barleycorn before all the jewels in the world.”
Take that, subspace.

Re: Can do
Ah, so comforting to see I did something "right" as a parent...

I’ll try not to get arrested until you’re either dead or too senile to understand the horrible things your boy has done.
I’m thinking of writing in “Putin” this November

Goes to show the kids are always smarter than the parents. Although I have given a lot of thought to write-in, Putin was not on my short list.

Re: Can do
I didn't consider Putin until I saw his instructional Judo video. If those aren't qualifications......

J.J. Polachek is the non-man for the unjob. He's got the qualifications we need most.

Dude, I’m seriously considering writing him in just to have it in the public record for eternity… Or you know, till the records in D.C. are erased by the pulse that comes with the new pavement of nuclear glass.
On a completely unrelated note, I shot a squirrel in the ass (with an air-soft pistol, painful but totally non-lethal to a mammal) from 30 feet last week. He was chewing through my suet basket to get the goodies. At first he just looked at me like, WTF? I didn’t think he was even going to scram for a second. I think their brains just let the sting sink in slower.
On a completely related note, I signed up a student who had a similar lack of supporting evidence at my high school and enjoyed hearing him called at roll for weeks.

With autumn, I've lapsed into a weary resignation on the squirrel issue. They scamper past me unhurriedly, pausing now and then to glare their triumph. They know the likely outcome of the election.
As well, the angrily tailgating and passive aggressive obstructionist drivers know. Bush stickers have given way to Obama stickers. But the road pathology is the same, as are the nervously genial, disingenuous grins when they get out of their cars and realize their destination was mine too. They have that same shit-eating look that says, "I'm an asshole, tee hee hee, and I'll scream bloody murder to the cops if you hit me."
