Meta and Journally:
Yes, I am still pregnant. No, I am really, really not happy about it. Yes, comments are broken on this site right now – send email instead. There’s a full moon coming, so maybe TheLittleGuy will want to come out to see. If he doesn’t, the doctors will probably want to evict him, and none of us really want to start down that path. Sigh. Oh, not that I’ll ever have time to write again, but I have much to say about the politics and ideologies of pregnancy and birth. I’m sure the politics and ideologies of parenting will be even more fun. Goodie.
Politics:
Hillary was never going to take it to the convention and all the shrieking ninnies who thought she would destroy the Democratic party in pursuit of her own evil feminine ambitions really need to get over themselves. Barack is not the great progressive savior some seem to think he is, but he’ll do – better than most. John McCain is completely unacceptable. I hope that Obama does not choose Webb for VP because Virginia needs to keep a non-insane Senator for a little while longer. Other than that, I don’t care who he picks, as long as it’s not someone like Hagel or Chafee.
Apocalyptic weather and such:
My spouse’s home city is suffering under a 500-year flood. We’ve had wave after wave of severe thunderstorms here. There have been Metro derailments, houses burning down near friends of ours, water outages with ‘boil everything’ orders a few miles north of us. It’s feeling pretty apocalyptic, I must say.
