Politics

I-405 traffic was impacted today while our president rode in his limo from SeaTac airport to the Bellevue Hyatt for a fundraiser. Washington is a blue state -- the president's approval rating is very low here (despite Eastern Washington's best efforts) -- so there were protesters outside the hotel where Bush and his entourage were conducting business.

I disapprove of W as much as the next bleeding heart around here, but I really don't think anyone who needs to hear my opinion about it is going to pay attention to anything I have to say if I'm wearing a "FUCK BUSH" t-shirt. Yeah, I'll get the attention of like-minded individuals, but nobody on the other side of the argument is going to take my objection seriously if I'm going to be vulgar. Yes, I get it. You're angry. You want the public to know how excruciatingly pissed off you are. Cussing isn't going to change anything. The government is run by cranky old white men, people. They're not having any of that crap.

That said, I want to point out that I had mozzarella cheese sticks for dinner.

Contractors are at our house for the next couple of days to replace the insulation in the attic and repair the downspouts. While one of them was scoping out the gutters, our neighbor's dog jumped through the gap in the broken fence we've been asking her to fix and chased the poor guy. He managed to turn on the hose and fend the bitch off. When we went over to our neighbor's front door to tell her about it, she didn't answer. She was home. Coward. This is what is meant by "good fences make good neighbors." Remember that, kids.

I'm off to play an old game as my old friend Brawler Barbie. We'll be on Virtue. Yay!

Not only that, when you are in one of those demonstrations (as I was in a peace march earlier this year), the same people want you, to donate money to their cause. That just don't seem quite right. And then there are the scammers pretending to be donation takers that are just gathering money for themselves. The whole scene has its own revolting psychological issues.
