my thoughts ... with a roadmap!

When the government limits who can vote, things like this happen. I realize that the government did not outright disenfranchise public housing residents, but banning voter registration isn't exactly progressing an inclusive America. If I had the time and inclination, I might find try to find examples of Democrat shadiness, but I have neither.

Or maybe Republicans are trying to get out the vote, as this story from the Onion suggests.

I overheard a little boy say, "Auntie, my dad says Bush is a liar because he saw this movie called, um, um, Fahrenheit, um, 9/11," to which the aunt responds, "You better go tell your daddy he's wrong!" What will we all talk about come November 3rd?

My Contracts class was cancelled yesterday, so some classmates and I went to a local Italian restaurant at lunch. When it came time to pay for the bill, I calculated my share ($8 X 1.25 to account for tax and tip), and then it hit me: the last time I had to do this was when I ate with my friends in Chicago. In other words, I haven't eaten a nice meal with my peers in 2 1/2 months. When Adrienne and Tedd visit, I'll be like a woman who's travelled through the desert with no water. Only a few more days away ...
