Pretty busy news day.
Sarah Palin's 17 year old daughter is pregnant, which is funny considering she's one of those abstinence-preaching types. Hurricane Gustav is dying down, but at least one Louisiana levee is in danger of collapsing. And the very, very lame Republican National Convention is cracking along, too.
Also, I think there's some kind of election coming up.
I'm basically apathetic to all this "government" business. I'm pretty sure that I'm not registered to vote, but I am kind of pulling for McCain in this thing. It just seems to me that (and this could be a very naive way of looking at things) if the Democrats have control of the senate, we should have a Republican president in place. Checks and balances and whatnot, ya dig? And if the Republicans were to take over the senate in two years, then McCain should get bumped and we'd land a brand spanking new Democratic president.
If I was supreme ruler of the universe, I'd decree that whichever party was in charge of the legislative branch of the US government would not be allowed to control the executive branch, as well. Does that make sense to anyone? Or does it go against every fundamental principle this country was built upon? Or is it just stupid?

Reason: I edited this post something fierce because Yoda-Man relocated all this ruckus from the shoutbox and it was a bit confusing
