don't vote, really.

"Still Undecided? Then just don't Vote"

Check out this brief op-ed from the LA Times.

What do you think of this?

things i am tired of

With the election just "a heart beat away," it's time to really pay attention to the credentials of our candidates. I like to base my decisions on the vice-presidents and their 'isms.'

How do you choose between a vice-president running mate that refers to Bosnians as "Bosniac's" (Biden) and the other who follows King George's pronunciation of "nucular" (Palin)?

Either way, my being was overcome with warmth when I heard Palin refer to a couple of issues as "Near and dear to my heart." So sweet.

Bite Me

Here is what Gracie said to me today (word for word as well as I can remember):

Gracie: Mom, I wish Mathew would go to heaven.

Mom: You wish Mathew would go to heaven? But that would make me sad.

Gracie: You would be sad. But I would not be sad.

Mom: Don't you love your brother?

Gracie: Yes.

Mom: Don't you like to play with your brother?

Gracie: Yes.

Mom: If Mathew was in heaven you wouldn't be able to see him any more. We would miss him.

Gracie: But Heavenly Father can see us.

Mom: Heavenly Father can see us, but we can't see him. So we wouldn't be able to see Mathew if he was in heaven.

Gracie: But Mathew bited me today.


***I cut and pasted this from Kelli's blog. This is HILARIOUS*** And seriously she thought about him being able to see her?? That's enough apparently.
