EVENT: CONNOR

That’s all

Blue Skies Falling

EVENT: Gemma

So at long last, waiting for my hair to dry before I go vote, I’m going to blog on Blue Skies Falling.

To all those who don’t know me, I’m Connor’s friend from college, passionate lefty who’s at odds to decide why she isn’t going to Wisconsin with people to combat voter disenfranchisement today.

EVENT: CONNOR

I will write a post explaining my choices later tonight.

Unfortunately, I’m short on sleep and time.

ESSENTIAL

1. President of the United States.

John Kerry and John Edwards

2. Michigan: Proposal 2. (Definition of Marriage)

No

3. Michigan Supreme Court

Marilyn Kelly

Deborah Thomas

4.

CONCEPT

Flintstones. Get mad.

Article by Carol Azizian at the Flint Journal:

Robert Katrinic, a Burton artist, has rescued the layers of painted graffiti that once covered the huge concrete rock at 12th Street and Hammerberg Road and converted it into art.

EVENT: CONNOR

EDIT: This was a hoax. I’ve also had revelations that the moon isn’t made of cheese, that the world gullible is defined in the Oxford English Dictionary, and more significantly, that I am evidently not owner of the Brooklyn Bridge.

CONCEPT

We’ve learned a lot, specifically that:

1. Darth Vader does die, eventually.

2. The Tigers don’t suck anymore.

3. The Cubs are more cursed than the Red Sox, and

4. Nader will be elected this week.

For worthwhile accounts, read Whet’s and Moacir’s blogs.

CONCEPT

Liz and her band of ruffians drawn (largely from the ranks of the Chicago Maroon) have come out with an election issue of the The Saturnine Detractor.

It includes a short fiction piece by your’s truly:

Burroughs vs.

EVENT: CONNOR

1) My personal “endorsements” for Michigan voters

2) Ditto Illinois

3) Six blogs and one dozen political links

These three posts will take me a lot of time, and I also have to submit a grad. school application by this weekend, so I don’t expect to post much of anything else.

EVENT: CONNOR

I got an email from Michael at i-magery.com several days ago. We’ve begun corresponding, and I’ve enjoyed his blog more than any other pro-Bush site I’ve come across.

His original email wasn’t short (and my response downright long-winded), so I’m posting the guts of our correspondence here:

Perhaps you would understand our support of the president if I mentioned:

1) My father’s friends were tortured in North Vietnam to the sounds of Kerry’s senate testimony, much of which has since been proven to be outright lies.

THE FLINT JOURNAL PRESIDENTIAL ENDORSEMENT

The Flint Journal endorsed Kerry, which is good, although they’ve written the wimpiest nomination I’ve ever read for any candidate in any periodical.

First, they outline Bush’s achievements, with some qualifications… their praise touches upon the ousting of the Taliban, No Child Left Behind, the introduction of Homeland Security, and one of the most incomprehensive paragraphs I’ve ever encountered in a newspaper, regarding the war in Iraq:

History will judge whether Iraq should have been included in this terror war, but it’s certainly part of it now.
