PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE II. What I learned last night during the second Presidential debate: George W. Bush proposed the hydrogen automobile. Did anyone else catch that? I doubt it will be as big as Al Gore inventing the internet (which W. referred to last night as “the internets” immediately removing him from any generation of hipness and depositing him in with my mother’s, who refer to Kim Gordon and Thurston Moore’s band as “The Sonic Youth”), but still, I find it hard to imagine him “proposing” a car that runs on something that isn’t at first glance a huge money-making enterprise for him or his cronies (wait, does he own stock in the Hoover Damn?).
“Kerry*Edwards – The Hot Ticket”
(TM MadameLuke, but John and John can use it if they like )MORE FUN WITH DICK AND GEORGE. Dick Cheney is the Ethel Mertz to George W’s Lucy in the Bush White House. Ethel was smarter, and frequently exasperated with Lucy, always had to go along with her zany schemes, and was forced to play second fiddle because she wasn’t as big a player in the Big Hollywood Machine. She was also considered not as appealing. Sound familiar? Now don’t get me wrong, I’m a huge Lucy fan and one of the only nicknames I’ve ever had was Ethel, and it pains me to even compare the two camps, but think about it. It was glaringly obvious during the VP debate that Cheney is smarter than W. Boy, he must hate that guy. Boy, I hate ‘em both.
WHY WE ARE STILL MARRIED. Here’s a little peek into a typical exchange that may help others who are wondering how some couples stay together for soooo long (12 years and counting):
Dh: Should I shave my beard?
Me: But then your head would be back to 90% bald!
Dh: I resent your attack on my being follicle challenged.
Me: Well, maybe I resent your being follicle challenged! (laughing)…Okay, now you can make a fat joke.
Dh: I resent your being a fat ass.It’s the warm fuzzy moments that bring us together.

If you want to add a little sizzle to your relationship, see if you can get your hubby to blog. Mine is, and I’m learning all kinds of interesting things. I’m like, oh, that’s why I love you!
“The Sonic Youth.” SNORT!
Kim, we did the to do list challenge. What other kinds of list challenges can you come up with? You crack me up! Cheney being the Ethel to George Dubya’s Lucy! “Whaaaah!”. That’s what I hope this Lucy is going to be saying when the election is over.
aaaah, that’s the sweetest thing I’ve read all day
(the baldy-fat ass thing, not the dick & george thing…)
