Scrapbooking

I went to a scrapbooking event today. It was a fun day. Lots of people. Lots of fun. Lots of pages done.

But it was at a church. And I'd run outside once to get some stickers from Fay's van and everything was ok. However, when it was time to go, I went out, and all you could see on the back of my car was a cartoonish penis that someone drew on the window.

Election Time

Thank God that in 26 hours the election will be over. At least in Michigan. I am so sick of the phone calls, the TV and radio ads, today it was the plastic sleeve over the newspaper. The signs can all go away too, they're ugly.

Tomorrow I'll cast my vote and I'll vote for Barack Obama. The thought of John McCain as president scares the crap out of me. He changes his rhetoric based on which group he's talking to for the day and I am not his friend, even though he seems to think that everyone is. His campaign has been spamming my email inbox for over a year now, and that annoys me as well.

The whole election system is messed up any ways. The amount of money it takes to become Presiden is absurd. Over a trillion dollars spent on this election? I've got an idea, let's cut campaigning down to two months, September and October. There is no other job, than as a Congressman that you can leave your position for 2 years to campaign for President, and then, when you lose, you can go back to your job as if you haven't been missing for two years. I would respect someone a lot more when they run for President while doing their job at the same time. And if campaigning was cut down to two months or something instead of 2 years, there wouldn't be quite so much money involved. And let's run a positive campaign as well, let's quit all the mudslinging. No one wants to hear all the slandar and lies. I'm tired of the election system the way it is, it's time to change it from the expensive mudslinging type of campaign and give people what they want. Everyone around me says the same thing "I'm sick of this and ready for the election to be over."

I'll also be defying my religious leaders and voting yes on Proposal 2 which allows for embryonic stem cell research. I will be voting yes on that because I think that it will have a greater good for medicine. I think that it will do more good by using these embryos that are leftovers from fertility treatments instead of incinerating them. In my opinion incineratinng those embryos is actually killing instead of using them to further a life.

Enough on my soapbox for now though.
