my vote '08

For next years' election we are hoping for a candidate to bring change to this stale regime.
My best bet? Dennis Kucinich. Like me, he is a vegan and compassionate towards animals. He is also anti-war, against NAFTA and WTO and he is for change! In fact, ask him anything and you'll find he has already introduced a bill or has clear-cut answers. He has a plan to end occupation in Iraq, tackles health care issues and stands for everything I find essential in a candidate who promises change. Plus he is the man who might get Cheney impeached. That is why I bought this nifty little sack in support.

These other candidates promise a lot, ...but change? That's what I'm looking for and I think Kucinich will deliver. I don't want no ham-hock munchin' red-neck for my next leader, thank you very much.

T-Day

Can we just stop calling it Turkey Day already! geesh, I find it offensive. Not everyone eats turkey and no one really would if they saw those over-sized, hormone injected rescued turkeys I saw last year at the Animal Sanctuary in New York. They were so horny, they were just thankful to be alive, and that's what Thanksgiving is all about. Giving thanks, not for the roasted beast on your plate, but for the people you hold company with.

Bush pardoned two turkeys, but should have just pardoned himself and Dick, because with all this impeachment talk, who knows who's safe from the proverbial dinner plate.

Kid Nation

There is something about the exploitation of children that has me on pins and needles every Wednesday evening at 8pm. I can't help myself. This sh*t is much better than Survivor is now and certainly gives it a run for the money. What child is going to break down in extreme homesickness? When are they going to get a huge shipment of chap stick to coat over their oh-so-dry flaky, cracking lips. And what silly game do the producers have them vying for the prize. I envy the host on Kid Nation. I want his job! Seriously.
I sincerely believe that participation in Kid Nation should be mandatory for all children. These kids learn how to treat people, how they themselves would like to be treated, how to entertain themselves and each other, how to work as a team, and how to ask for help. These are the things that humans need to relearn in todays' society. We are all so self-absorbed that we can't even teach our children how not to be.

My dreamlife

I often dream of Apocalypse. I dream that hell is upside down and amongst us. I've dreamt this for years, fighting the last fight to be the lone survivor. You can or cannot interpret this. One of my favorite past-times is assessing how I would handle an actual apocalypse. Am I prepared? Where is my tent, do I have enough water and what is my item of barter? Will I leave my own home in search of better shelter, will my neighbors turn into zombies and do I have to give them our food if they don't? How do alliances work in a post-apocalyptic world? Who are your friends in the end and how do you find them in a burning wasteland. My BF and I sit around, chatting about the ends of the earth and whether we are good candidates for survival. Maybe it's all the post-apocalyptic movies I watch, or the incessant voice of Anderson Cooper in my head, but I fear for the world and hope that we have til at least 2012, the fated end of the Mayan calendar, to figure things out for ourselves, without that extra little push from Iran.
