And then there's pro-Obama racism *and* sexism

In West Virginia:

"I'm going to vote for the colored guy," said Henry Ford -- "no, not that Henry Ford," the 87-year old retired carpenter in the Napa Auto Parts hat pointed out. "I don't dislike her, but I don't think a woman can be president of the United States. I don't think she can handle the job."

So what's the counterbalance to Hillary's WV and (soon-to-be) Kentucky blowouts? Obama is up by *20* in Oregon, including a lead among women. So... does this country want to be more like Oregon? Or more like West Virginia?

Hmmm, Oregon is home to hippies and skinheads and West Virginia to yuppies and militias. It's a tough call!

Recent Arrivals at my house


  • The first disc of Californication. I had heard it was kind of sucky, but it was much, much better than I thought it would be. Good enough that we're going to watch the rest of the season (which is doubly amazing since we haven't even started watching new Weeds yet).

  • The deafening sound of, apparently, a heavy-duty drilling rig that's boring through—I'm just guessing here—a deep, abandoned well that's been filled with hundreds of thousands of thick metal dinner plates. It's been echoing across the Qwest Field parking lot, coming from King Street Station. It sounds like they're destroying Amtrak.

  • An official, bona fide Roast Beef greeting card (thanks, Tom!)

  • A keg of Rainier, for the Post-Natal Kegger (and, hence, a deductible business expense!) (what, you didn't know you were at a client party?)

  • A Roku Netflix box, which we aren't hooking up until we're done with our deadline for Beasts: Book Two. The tension is nigh unbearable. Unopened consumer electronics? Sacre bleu!
