Did you vote? I hope so, because tonight at 8 pm, the results of this most protracted primary runoff season will be announced and America will be down to the two major candidates. Will it be Hillesha vs. McArchuleta or Baracook vs. McArchuleta? Will anyone suggest that Hillesha and Baracook combine forces to battle McArchuleta?
You know, of course, that if you don’t vote, you don’t get to complain, right?* About taxes or wars or crappy schools or pitchy voices or asinine song choices. I know, it’s disheartening that it’s all so staged and phony. Not to mention demographically rigged. Blue-collar women like Hillesha, ‘tween girls and everyone over 75 likes McArchuleta, rockers and other assorted cool people like Baracook.
THIS is American Idol.

OMG I was looking at that carnival button and I thought that was a tampon on the top left. What is wrong with me?

Oh dear – does my button really look like something from the Feminine Hygeine aisle?
Thanks for linking!
And you are so much a Writer, with a capital W nonetheless. You are far braver than I when it comes to stepping out onto a limb and speaking your mind.
I still have moments of not wanting to offend; I suppose that’s my personal roadblock to being a Writer.
Although I have a post simmering in the back of my consciousness, one that needs to be said by and for those moms who don’t think Stepford is ideal to which we moms should aspire.
*A-hem!*
Lost is on; off I go to get lost in la-la TV Land.

Marie — At least google probably won’t see that pencil as a tampon and send tampon seekers to my site, right?
Marianne — For what it’s worth, I think it looks like . . . a pencil.
