The Republican are meeting in New York, and the first group to cause a stir are, apparently, the Iowa caucus. They are all wearing buttons that read “God's Official Party” or “God's Own Party”.
Quick, if you translate “God's Own Party” into Arabic, what would the name of the party be?
Hezbollah
The irony of it just makes me want to giggle.
Springsteen, R.E.M., Pearl Jam, the Dave Matthews Band, the Dixie Chicks, and others have teamed up with anti-Bush group MoveOn.org for the “Vote for Change” tour. The profits from the tour will benefit Americans Coming Together (ACT), a voter-registration effort dedicated to defeating President Bush in November and helping to elect progressive candidates to federal, state, and local government positions.

The Democrats don't have a monopoly on musicians: The GOP can count on Johnny Ramone, Kid Rock, Ted Nugent (a declared independent but Bush backer), [christian rocker] Michael W. Smith and a host of country artists, some who will perform this week at the Republican National Convention in New York City
Kid Rock or DMB. Nugent, or the Chicks. Decisions, decisions…

With regards to the post-Olympic legacy of Greece:
While hotels, restaurants and taxis did a booming business in Athens, the sex-trade workers did not. Prostitution is legal and highly regulated in Greece, but sex workers complained they saw none of the boom in business experienced four years ago in Sydney, where the workers put in overtime.

Just called overseas to say three little words.
I have a huge grin on my face and I'm all giddy.
I gots it baaaad.
*happy sigh*
I'm freaked out. I folded two loads of laundry, and all my socks matched up.
ALL OF THEM!
In all the years I've been doing laundry, I don't know if that ever happened…
I finally bought my friggin kitchen table :D
Of course, I don't physically have it yet, as it doesn't fit in the car, and must therefore be delivered. In 7 to 10 days.
…but it's a start :D
You are a magazine-cover, matinee idol dreamboat. Parents love you and want to set you up with their kids. However, first dates are tough because it takes time for your qualities to come out.
You are generous and kind. You think first and act later. You are cool in a conflict, but your practical side means if your partner throws out emotional appeals (“why can't we do what I want for a change?”) they will grate on your nerves, even when the conflict is resolved.
You're a romantic. You enjoy the thrill of the hunt, and you don't just fall into bed with anyone. You pay close attention to your significant other's needs, and this makes you an excellent lover and partner. The problem is that your friends and lovers may find it so easy to express things to *you* that they lose sight of whether you feel as comfortable with *them*! This doesn't necessarily make you feel under-appreciated — you're too well-adjusted and self-aware for that — but you may feel restless. Thus you seek adventure in your life outside the relationship to prove and actualize yourself.
Of all the types, you would make the best parent.
You are coiffed.
