Um, we have a TV (literally found it at the recycling center) but we didn't have one when our kids were younger. And now, still no cable. Just an antenna. I think I'd get along with your friends just fine.

I'm down with that.

Despicable.

I think it was this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BYZK9dq6B4o Skeeter Davis- I Will Follow

I liked it. But what's with the one white kid who lacks rhythm? He's giving credence to stereotypes!

I'm glad she recanted, cuz that is so obviously fake! I work in a place where I see at least one real black eye a week, and that's no shiner! Pathetic. If she was a true MAVERICK, she could have at least gotten her little friend to cut her face and punch her in the eye. I mean COUNTRY FIRST, Gawd!

My husband put up two homemade wooden Obama signs. They are nailed to hedge fence posts ... not going anywhere anytime soon.

If you like Yoshimi, I think you'll love Soft Bulletin. Frankly, it makes me happy to be a human. For your few first listens, I recommend playing it straight through rather than on shuffle or in some sort of mix. I particularly enjoy listening to it while I'm cooking. There's even a song that mentions putting the vegetables away. At War with the Mystics is fun, but I wouldn't consider it essential.

Anyone back with a KC rally report yet? Inquiring minds want to know....

I work for the government. There, I've outted myself so I won't have to be exposed.

That remains to be seen, doesn't it?

I personally feel badly for those who have the inability to spell "personally" or "vinyl" correctly. (Just playing. )

Besides, she's said plenty of mean crap about Obama lately. What goes around comes around. And, yeah, she seems to be stupid and overly ambitious on top of everything else. The minute Palin joined the ticket, any small chance that I would vote for McCain flew out the window. Her inclusion on the ticket is truly an insult to women.

Right now, I the Secret Service.

It's like a 4 month wait for this from my library, but amazon has it for 8 something. Ordering....

I luv that station, whenever I can get it to tune in. They first turned me on to Josh Ritter. On a related note, I have no problem listening to music and chewing gum at the same time. In fact, I enjoy it.

Not in these parts. I see lots of Obama signs and stickers around here. (I live about an hour southwest of the KC metro area.) Generally, though, people are more interested in state and local level politics, from the Boyda/Jenkins race all the way down to the county commission. Honestly, I think McCain will take Kansas, but it won't be a blow-out. We've had a lot of local boys killed in Bush's war, the gas prices are hard on the farmers and commuters, and small businesses are suffering. The median income in my county is only about $40K, and times are tight. People are not as conservative

$3.12 in Lawrence, KS, yesterday. But I drive a little car that gets 37 mpg, so I didn't need a fill-up.

Congrats on finishing! I've always wanted to attempt a marathon. Now, you're my inspiration! May I ask, did you follow any certain training program? Curious minds want to know!

I haven't read either of those. Currently, I'm reading To Kill a Mockingbird, which I somehow managed to never read before now. It's awesome.

I vomited a little in my mouth a couple of times when I was reading that article. This really stood out: Todd Palin told Fox News that son Track is now in the Army, and that Bristol, 17, whose pregnancy was recently made public, "is not high-maintenance." Gee, thanks, Dad. Guess Dude Jr. was a little more attentive.

Loved that quote, too. Thanks for pointing it out.

I can't believe someone would steal your truck just to get that book. Unreal! Sorry, man, that really sucks.
