The return of the photo

The Widge loves snow!

I was hoping to post gushing reviews of life with a turntable, because my turntable was loaded on the local UPS truck for delivery yesterday morning, but the UPS guy arrived way later than usual, and I had already left for the evening.

Hey, my Widge just came over to help me blog, which he's doing by pointing at his photo and saying: "Snow! Yay!" and trying hard to add content by hitting the "Control" button repeatedly. I'll interpret that to mean that he wants to send a big shout-out to all his fans in blogland, and tell you all to keep it real.

In politics, since I've started watching the news again a bit and reading Newsweek, I have to say that I'm pleased at McCain's success. I liked McCain in 2000 too, so its like watching the obscure actor you've always liked get a starring role. You go, McCain! There'll be more issues discussed in blogworld as time goes on, but for now I have to lay down the ground rules: if you're voting for Hillary, you must leave my blog, right now, and never come back. Seriously. And please identify yourself in the comments so that I can cross you off my Christmas card list.

I think, actually, if you are compassionate at all, you have to vote for a conservative, and here's why: whenever a conservative gets elected president, liberals joke about having to move to Canada, or England, or some other lefty country for the duration of the right-wing term. But if a liberal gets elected, where can we conservatives go to escape all the social programs and defense budget cuts? Montana might seem like a foreign country we can turn to for refuge, but its actually just another state. Where else in the world could we achieve sanctuary among nice, right-thinking citizens without putting ourselves into a totalitarian military state, or at least a setting where we're highly likely to see bullets fly? I guess Vatican City is an option, but they don't really have the infrastructure to succor thousands of displaced American conservatives, plus its surrounded by the political quagmire of Italy, so we'd still probably bump into socialists every day. My point is: always vote conservative, because we have nowhere else to go.
