--- For the most part I haven't had too many problems with declaring
the Cake Eater Chronicles to be an ELECTION 2004 FREE ZONE.
It's actually been quite refreshing. Of course, the husband gets more
election commentary from me since I can't unload here, but for the most
part---to quote our favorite soon-to-be jailbird---it's a good thing.
(I find myself saying that phrase quite a lot lately. Wonder why?) Life
is much, much breezier without having to even think about the likes of
Dubya or Kerry. It's like when someone you live with quits smoking:
everything smells better. Anyway, I wasn't having a problem until I was
flipping through A Small Victory and found this article.
FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT IS GOOD AND HOLY! Michele's right: it's too easy. But oh, my sweet, sweet God is it ever tempting!
I feel like giving a Howard Dean yell---only in frustration, rather than in mistaken celebration.
Ok, what the hell.
YEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRGH!
The Cake Eater Chronicles: I'm all about making promises that aren't
worth a damn. Learn this now and count yourselves lucky that this is
one time I actually managed to make good. We'll see how I do when
October rolls around. I think I'll manage quite nicely over the summer
provided we don't get wi-fi and I can surf/blog from the lawn.
--- Side commentary: I don't know why everyone isnt reading A Small Victory on
a daily basis. This is consistently one of the most amusing and
right-on blogs that it's been my pleasure to come across. Michele, like
myself, has been blessed with what most people would refer to as a sick
sense of humor. It's nice to know you're not the only axe murderer out
there. So, if you like my stuff, go and read hers---it's better than
mine. It was nice knowing you and I hope you find your way back here
when hosting matters crashes and her site is down. {/so long, farewell,
