Who would? John would!

Mom’s mad at me and I legitimately don’t understand why.  I think she has a lot on her plate right now and that probably has more to do with it.  Still, it sucks to see someone you care about upset and even if I tell myself that her anger towards me is misdirected.. it still hurts.

I love my life.

So I finally gave in today.  I had been news-sober for almost a week but fell off the horse this morning.  Whatevs. There are worse vices.

Here’s what gets me.  The GOP seriously has nothing.  I mean, I guess I’m a democrat in that republicans disappoint me and generally scare the shit out of me, but damn, I would feel better about our politics if the Right could at least get their shit together.  A success for dems means success against a party of birthers, rascists, and lunatics.. it’s kind of like beating a four-year-old at Scrabble.

The thing is, if you accept partisan politics as a necessary evil (or perhaps, more-to-the-point, an inescapable evil), then there has to be two competent parties so that you can have meaningful discourse.

If all the Democrats have to do to win is say, “Well at least we’re not those dudes.”  Then they really don’t have much of a rhetorical foundation for their party.  All in all, I guess things are going good - I mean, there’s nothing Bush-like in sight.  But I worry that the bar has been lowered for what constitutes a liberal or democratic president. He sticks to a biblical definition of marriage and continues to fight wars over oil.. so much for the Barrack who won that Peace Prize.  All that being said, I’m certain I’ll still be voting for him this next year.

The worst part, is that he wants to be my friend.. I mean, I wish I could explain to him in cat language that I just can’t really be there for him emotionally or physically.. I’m allergic you see it’s not really up to me.  Please take your dander and leave.. find someone who cares..

Conversations with Dad are like a minefield.
