Picking the right candidate

There are several sources online to help you pick the presidential candidate that most closely resembles your beliefs and values for the current election.

The tip here is, you better choose now, just to see who might fit, because in a few weeks - after the primary season gets going-- chances are the candidate that closely aligns to your beliefs will be out of the running.

And I bet you are surprised by who you pick. I know I was....

USA Today Candidate Match Game

In a surprise (to me) upset- it looks like Chris Dodd should be my man, but he didn't win the nomination back when he was Lloyd Benson, so I imagine he's not going to win now either. Coming in second or first depending on how I change my  mind is Mike Gravel, but really, I don't see him as a viable candidate either. So when it gets down to it - the polls say I'm either a Obama or Edwards guy, and I think I'm okay with that. And while I love Bill, I won't vote Hillary. And it has nothing to do with the fact that she's a woman. I would vote for one if there was a good option out there. I won't vote for her because it feels like everytime she talks, she's yelling. And now that I'm all growns up, I know that I don't need some lady yelling at me all the time. Reason #5 on why T is divorced.

Anyway- Try the links and enjoy.

Congrads to me...

I just won my football pool - Take that bitches!

I think I win a couple hundred bucks. Nice!

For the record, on the season I am 174-81 at picking the winning team. Not too bad. One week I only missed one game. And in case you were wondering, my team name.... Leave me a Lohan. It seemed relevant at the time.

Color Me Surprised

It's not enough that Britney's 16 year old sister is pregnant, I'm more disappointed in the fact that the Today show had to mention it in the first 10 mins of the show, during the real news. Nevermind the rumor that OK magazine paid her $1 million for pics of the baby. It may just be the end of the world as we know it.

I suppose I should have seen that it was coming this summer when Jon Benet Ramsey's dad started dating Natalie Holloway's mom. (Sorry I don't make this stuff up people.)

Here's hopin' we can find some sanity in '08.

PS- Watch the video for more crazy shit I didn't make up....

At least they wore clean underwear...

Okay, truth is I can't verify that fact. But I'm hopeful that when the day started, it was clean.

Anyway here's a gem from our friends over at the Smoking Gun. People wear the strangest shirts when the get arrested. 

And to think these are all just from the last few months. #3 is my favorite.

Another Rough Week

Hi All,

Its been a long week (or two) since I posted. That's good, right? It means there has been a lot going on.

Lets start with the fun stuff. 

Went with a friend last Monday night to see the reunited Van Halen play Key Arena. They weren't that bad. Eddie proved he's still a Guitar God is you believe in such things, and David Lee Roth has finally wised up and realized that nobody goes to see Dave. Unfortunately they ignore the Sammy Hagar years. And I actually like those best.

In other news, working a lot. Maybe too much. But that's what needs to happen to keep a job in this market. So yes, if you are wondering, I still have one, and should be safe for a while. My team was the only unaffected one that I'm aware of in my division. I of course won't mention my company here, but if you are close, you know, and you know we've been in the news a lot lately. (Wow- too many commas.)

Kids are okay - christmas has me pretty stressed out. I just don't have time or energy to shop. Of course I suppose few do. Anyway I had a few minutes while I'm waiting for some proofs back so I thought I'd give you an update.

Hopefully I'll have some more free time, and something to say soon.

The Ex-Husbands of King County

So I'd like to pitch this reality show.

Actually I have a friend who suggested it, he said it'd actually be compelling TV and that he'd watch. Which is cool because he doesn't watch much.

Anyway another friend of mine also has a crazy ex. Her kids wised up and all live with him now. (After she moved them out of the state - they all wanted to come back and go to high school with their friends and their dad really isn't half bad either) 

So check this out, this guy has basically been living in a cardboard box for the past few years to get by while he sent most of his paycheck out of state. (I on the other hand just keep going deeper and deeper in debt- but that's another story) Over the past two years, his kids have all moved up here to live with him (except the one who has since moved on to an Ivy league school.) Anyway his ex is now trying to sue him for more alimony so that she can afford her new child support bill.

Of course you'd watch. You can't look away.

Goin' off the rails on a crazy train

MutherFucker!

I thought I was going to get thru November with only one bout of craziness from that complete bitch.

I was wrong. I should know better.

Everyone always says don't get sucked in, she isn't right, she is crazy.

But I have to deal with it. Why is it that just because you were stupid enough to marry someone once you have to be forever linked to them and have to put up with their crazy shit?

Isn't more than half my income each year enough? Isn't that the price of my sanity?

Can't I move on with my life without it hurting my children? Don't I deserve that? Don't they? Doesn't myICE? Doesn't the crazy one?

Can you put a restraining order on craziness?

How come she doesn't have the same filter the rest of us do?

Why is it okay for her to spew ridiculous accusations my way and get of scot free? If I say anything back she goes crazier and tells my kids stupid stuff. I'd never do that. She knows that. She knows I won't even defend stupid stuff to them, so they grow up filled with terrible facts about their dad in their heads.

Sure someday they'll see who's crazy. But for once, can someday come today?

Someday, if you are out there... I really could use you... Just this once... please... pretty please...
