+ Dear MSM and Blogosphere, SHUT UP ABOUT PUMAs. People have the right to vote for whomever they wish to vote. That's what democracy is. The media is making more out of this than it warrants.

+ Dennis Kucinich's speech last night fucking ROCKED, okay? I wish he were the Democratic nominee. And I'd like to know why Jimmy Carter was basically black-listed at the DNC. Is it perhaps because he's critical of the Shrub's administration's policy toward Israel's blockade of the Gaza Strip, and Obama and Clinton both have repeatedly kissed AIPAC's ass?

+ Phantom Planet and Weezer tickets have been printed. :D We actually got seats for Weezer, because MrIris prefers seats at arena shows rather than GA floor tickets. Pretty decent - section 102, so only one off the stage. I'm sorta excited that he wanted to see them, because usually he just goes along with it when concerts are my choice for Date Night activities.

+ Also, Steel Train tickets went on presale at DucatKing, which confuses me. The show here in Houston been on sale at TM for over a week. But whatever. I wanted to see them anyway. Then it became apparent that empires will be opening for some of those tour dates. It's unconfirmed yet if they'll be doing so at the Houston show, but if they do? BONUS.

+ Gabe Saporta, I ♥ you and your shit-stirring, both the fact that you do it and the fact that you sing about it. Your version of I Kissed A Boy is 12000x better than Katy Perry's.

+ Finally, my latest crackified plot bunny:

In this picture, Jon and Bden are having the at-home interview/inspection with a social worker, before they become foster/adoptive parents. Y/N?

It seems counter-intuitive; even if your person didn't get the nomination, the progressive platform should be enough to earn your vote, right? It's a peril of the two-party system, that we have to support one, else our missed or written-in vote be the equivalent of a vote for the other. I don't dislike Obama, and I'd rather he won than McCain, so on the purely practical level I see the value in voting for him. But. Where's the choice when there really isn't a choice?
