Joe Biden? Seriously?

Not that I thought it would be Clinton -- too much baggage there, and she gives the Repugs too broad a target. But.

Really?


ETA: I find it interesting to read things like Democratic strategists, fretting over polls that showed McCain erasing Obama's lead this summer, welcomed the move.

Because personally? I don't think that McCain *gained* ground, per se. I think that Obama lost points with the more liberal people who are disillusioned by the significant right-shift he made when it became clear that he had the Democratic nomination. Choosing Biden only adds to that centrism. The man is, for all his experience, a 30+ year veteran of the Washington Wars. That is not a plus for some of the folks who were hoping that Obama would stick to his "change" platform and image.

(For the record, I am not one of those surprised or disillusioned. I've said from the beginning that I didn't think that Obama would be significantly more liberal or progressive than Clinton, and his sharp right turn on things, particularly with respect to the Middle East, was nothing less than I expected.)

Long ago, I did a music meme wherein folks were asked to guess the song based on the first two lines of lyrics. Only a handful of song titles were guessed, so here are the titles, in order. Also, a link to the zip file containing said songs.


the list of songs )

Download the zip file. I'm pretty sure I've shared some of these songs before, but I'm way too lazy to upload all twenty songs individually. Sorry. Also, let me know if there's a problem with the link or the file, please?



Also, [livejournal.com profile] lilyeyes? I just cleaned off my desk and cleaned out my filing cabinet of past-edited stuff, and you would not BELIEVE the stuff I found! Life After Voldemort! Bound! I can't believe the huge mass of stuff you've written, and that doesn't even count the last six months or so, when you've been sending it to others for beta because I flaked.

I also found a great big folder of drafts of my own HP and SPN fics, stuff that's half-finished. *facepalm* I need to get back to writing in ALL fandoms.
