Keep it up, little engine...
Well, here:
Now, I enjoyed this video very much. I enjoyed it because it supports the same candidate I support, of course, but I enjoyed it more the second time that I watched it for the words that were spoken, the words that were sung. I hope that our next president embraces this energy, this message. I hope.

You are as creepy as a real serial killer. For real.
A couple things:
1. The Office: Why is it so funny, and why isn't Jim my boyfriend? On that note, why isn't Jim a real guy? Jeez.
B. Politics! Jeeeesus, what is wrong with people? I watched some of both conventions. Did you know that McCain was a POW? I bet you didn't, but he was. He was a POW. In the war. The war for AMERICA.
III. I have made an observation recently, and I would like your opinions as to whether or not I am correct. It's gonna take a little backstory, but I would really appreciate some responses.
I've been thinking about Thanksgiving a lot recently, and how (in my family, at least) the men and women awake equally early: the men to go shoot targets and bond and what not, and the women to cook and set the table and prepare for dinner. After the meal, the men retire to the living room while the women clean up all the of the dishes they spent so much time making.
Of course, it's not as one-sided as all that- I'll be more than one of you gentlemen has been chased from the kitchen for offering to help. This led me on another train of thought, one that is not neccessarily holiday-related. It has to do with the way men and women typically think of work.
I think that men hold "work" and "not work" very separately. When men are at work--whether this be a job or a project they've undertaken-- they work and they work hard, liking few interuptions. When they are not at work, they do not want to do work of any sort. Think of the stereotypical man coming home, propping his feet up on the coffee table with a beer and the remote.
I don't believe women form so defined a line for "work" and "not work." When they are together, cleaning up after the family, this is also bonding time with their friends and relatives. Think women doing laundry as they watch television, read books as they nurse babies, listen to radio shows as they cook dinner.
Anyway, I would love to hear your thoughts. Do you tend to pattern your thoughts this way? Do other people you know? I know sometimes it's a bit hard assign yourself to a stereotype (I know how much you guys hate that), especially if you've never really thought about it before. It's like if someone asks you whether you put your right or left shoe on first... I mean, who pays attention to that? Looking forward to some responses...
