Hey, Megs,
So, I'm having a bit of a crisis today. Kevin called me twice around lunchtime. The first call was to state that a) our heater seems to be broken, and right in the midst of a cold-snap, and b) his father called and he and Kevin's mom were on their way to our house, where they will be spending the night on their way to visit Kevin's (mean) sister in Texas. The second call was to ask if it would be okay for him to take down the Obama sign in the yard.
Sigh.
I eventually said it was fine, after minor protestations. Now, I feel like a jackass. I can't even take a stand against Kevin's parents? It would be one thing if I thought that this were another election that was just a sad choice for the lesser of two evils. But I don't feel that way. I believe that Obama is the much, much, a million times much better choice. I think that McCain is a poor candidate who totally fucked up his VP pick and deserves to go down big for foisting Palin upon us. I think that he has no clue about how to deal with the financial crisis. I think his foreign policy is dangerous and I believe that, should McCain win the presidency, we would be at war with Iran within two years. And really, just don't even get me started on Palin. I loathe that woman with the heat of a thousand suns.
Are these not things that I could discuss rationally with Kevin's parents? (I mean, besides the Palin issue. I admit that I am totally irrational when it comes to that woman.) It looks like the answer is no.
On top of this existential crisis, I have to deal with the thought that my anonymous McCain- supporting neighbor will think he's won me over.
I guess I just feel like a big wuss. It's the whole, "If you won't stand for something, you'll fall for anything" meme come to life.
Blerg.
Do you think this would change the Thompsons' mind?:
Hope.
UPDATE: How cool is this:
Over and out,
Molly
