Happy primary day. Now go vote.
Happy Birthday to my sister Judy who is very, very, very old today. I think this picture of her says all that needs to be said about how cheerfully she is conducting her march into the bowels of extreme middle age.
Tomorrow is primary voting day. And the day we vote on all the initiatives. More importantly, it’s the day when all those damn ads will finally stop and we’ll just be down to the ads from the winning candidate in each party until November. My standards are so low concerning the noise and pollution of a political season, that even this small step is a great relief. Now please make Vic Vickers go back to Florida.

If some of those girls are sixteen, then I’m 35. Live with it.
Some publication has apparently paid a gabillion dollars to print the first pictures of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt’s babies. Am I the only one who thinks all babies look pretty much the same at that point in their development to everyone but their parents? I mean, that publication could have run a stock photo of any baby. Who would have known? More importantly, who would have cared?
What is it about Alaska that attracts weird people to move here to run for office? Why don’t they just stay where they’ve been living and run for office there? I mean, at least John Lindauer actually lived here once. But Vic Vikers? Please make him and his annoying beyond words ads go away. I have no problem with the concept of taking back Alaska from corrupt politicians, but I would politely like to request that it is taken back by an Alaskan. Geez. At least when this happens in New York State, they get people like Bobby Kennedy and
Go to http://www.nytimes.com/2008/06/27/world/middleeast/27addiction.html?scp=2&sq=iran opium&st=cse and read how the repressive government of religious fundamentalists in Iran handles drug addiction. They are more than light years ahead of us. How humiliating.
