Endings

[misscam]

So skimming my friendslist this morning, I saw that Lindorien had at last posted a sort of reply to the recent hacking-no hacking drama mentioned in my previous post.

Retraction? Admission? Farewell?

Remains to be seen if this will the End of the Matter, to quote her.

The remains of hurricane Karl has sailed up over Norway and is giving us rain and strong winds before it dies away. One last hurrah before its end. The winds are whipping through the trees as I'm typing this and it all feels very much like autumn. Maybe that is why my muse wants to write angst of late. It's certainly resisting being funny. (On that note, Nocturne has gone off to beta, so there should be an update there in the forseeable future.)

European observers to watch election - I found this rather interesting. The "beacon of democracy" (as some Americans like to call it) is having international observers to its election. *raises eyebrow* Remains to be seen how this will play out and if the observers observe something that oughtn't be.

Cam's Meme of the Week:

The world is ending tomorrow. I, as the kind and caring person I am, have decided that for our friendship/acquaitance, I shall grant you one wish before we all go. What would you ask of me?

I think I'm going to need heavy sedatives around election time. Even just having Bush be as close in the polls as he has been is disturbing, because I'm not optimistic that he won't try to enter office unfairly again. I'll take a dosage to last me until I realize that Bush is not in office, whether that means a few days for the legal fight over the election results or the next four years if Bush wins. "Beacon of Democracy" indeed. We saw what happened four years ago. (Well, some of us saw it, others actually sent me an e-mail trying to get me to sign a petition telling Al Gore, "The results are in -- YOU LOST, so shut up.")

Ooh, a wish! I'f like for you to introduce me to that dashing feline of yours. I'll bring him yum yums, however spoiled he already is. ;)

I'm dead certain that the election has already been rigged.

I'm also dead certain that if Kerry should by some fluke win, the Shrubbery will find a reason to declare martial law, or something equally illegal. The Shrub has said repeatedly that he would like to be dictator of America, so such a move would not astonish me. It would sicken and horrify me, but it would not surprise me in the least.

My Immigrants class that I just got out of a few minutes ago was hijacked for my professor to discuss why everyone should vote today (our university is pushing to register as many people in our age group as possible and professors are being asked to speak with their classes about it, and some go farther in their announcements than others) -- when she discussed how exactly Bush was declared winner last election, my blood started boiling. (Actually, it had started when she mentioned the word draft as one reason why people in my age group should vote, but anyway...) So a ruling that won by one vote that said, Stop counting the votes put the Shrub in power -- and if memory serves, most of these old judges had been appointed by previous Republican Presidents. Gee, that doesn't make things suspicious, does it? Nice to know, considering how much more of the government is now controlled by the Republicans now.

I wouldn't be surprised if he won by a dirty stunt, either. One equally cynical friend told me there's even been some anger on the Republican side about how we're even having elections at all during this war, and oh, how dare the selfish Democrats run against our Great and Powerful Leader when we need to be unified in a war we were never unified in our opinions of in the first place. Gah. -_-;

Love that icon, btw.

Where's that icon from? I see one of the chosen languages is Norwegian.

It's certainly shaping up to look like four more years of Bush and Cam's Sanity merrily skipping away.

Ismael sends his merry meows and is looking forward to being bribed.

One of my friends has already attempted the Canadian citizenship test out of the anger from this. (Too bad she failed.) *prays for a miracle, despite being atheist*

Bribes, hmm... well, there's plenty of Mom's yummy tuna noodle casserole left. Felines and humans alike love it.

Except Miss Cam, who does not like tuna.

We can bring you some of my mom's lasangna then. Or else I'll just raid Dad's stash of chocolate when he gets back from Switzerland again. ;)
