Giant pillbugs.

I hope McCain has some kind of seven-legged helpmates waiting in the wings . . . Six-legged, though, would be fine. And eight-legged would be excellent. (Yeah: I still let spiders live, even in this small home. Of course, I usually only let one reside in each room, and we have fewer rooms here. And I don't let them onto my computer or my easy chair, because I don't really want 'em crawling on me. But they do eat insects, and they are better than birds or gekkos.

I did have a girlfriend once who kept house gekkos in her little Santa Monica apartment; it was rather awful, because (1) it is unusual when I don't get up to pee in the middle of the night, but at her apartment I had to screw my courage to the sticking point, and carefully step over any shadows that might be hiding lizards. Also: (2) I'm not much of a night person, and being awakened at dawn by lizards who made human-sounding cries was not my idea of a good time.

But she was the brightest, oddest creature I've ever bedded, so there's that. Totally worth it, in case you were wondering.)

(I got the pillbug thing from Memeorandum. D'jou?)

1 It's probably a felony of some kind, or soon will be, to joke about a major presidential candidate being eaten by giant pill bugs. Still pretty funny, though! I think, in fact, Hillary may well be a giant pill bug. She'll just pry off her latex mask (like the bad guy on Scooby Doo) and reveal these chittering antennae, and then she'll scoop him up with her reticulated legs and pop him in her mandibles. If I had a dollar for every time that shit happened to me.... I could buy real estate in southern california!

2 But she was the brightest, oddest creature I've ever bedded, so there's that. Totally worth it, in case you were wondering.) Erm. Ok. 2 things. 3, really. Altho 1's not really related to this post. 1. You've been infested with spam on another of your posts. But since you get notification via email of every comment, you probably know this already. 2. Is that supposed to be an emoticon, or are you missing an opening bracket somewhere, or am I reading erroneously? 3. Seriously. I mean, seriously. I'm serious. Not joking, iow. But... 3a(1). When you say 'her' apartment shouldn't that be 'our'? --> 3a(2). When you say bedded, did you mean boinked? --> 3b. Hence, would you say you were bi or just a practicing LUG? (and tellin' your mama that you weren't a lez woulda been a lie, unless'n you said under yer breath '...yet, and not with her') --> 3c. What does AtH think about that, or does he too have some skeletons in his closet? (No, really, a Japanese woman, for instance) --> 3d. When you say brightest and oddest creature wuz u referin' to the girlfriend, or the geckos? I think I'll stop this line of questioning now. Actually, I'll ask one more. Why the adjective 'oddest'? I gotta tellya, it ain't the first one to pop into my head. Kinky, adventurous, funky, even 'seriously f*ed up shit, man,' but odd? Uh-uh. Even if I wuz boinkin' my own sex, which I won't unless it was maybe Patricia Araujo or Vanity or somethin' and even then... The shit you think up the hour before Bible Study... oh well, I never pretended to be very righteous of my own self. yeah, I think I'll stop now. Maybe take my meds. Up the dosage. I'm safe, really, honest, I swear...

3 Spam. Nice in the can, or in the mouth - not so nice on teh intartubes... Ack! I did read erroneously! Um, okay, [/steps back warily], yeah, can I just hope that you did all the Sarge Wild and Corp Wooly stuff back before you and she were Christians... I, uh, have unorthodox sexual tastes, too, (did I mention my sister? No? Maybe I won't then) so, you know. But oh boy, do I hope that I never give in to 'em. I've got enough stuff to try and, er, justify, without loading that on my plate too. It is a good thing that Christ paid for our sins, isn't it, so that we don't have to carry that burden? PS Something I wanted to add and forgot - but what's with the hate of geckos? They power Netscape, Mozilla, Firefox... They also eat a whole lotta insects you'd hate even more. Mozzies and roaches come to mind, and so do flies. We call'em house lizards over here, cause they everywhere. In restaurants, too.

4 Are you kidding? I love Mongols! They're hot hot hot hot hot! Check this out. (And you might like my Cambodia/Vietnam pix as well). linky 1 Indian Indians are caucasians. Aryans, at any rate. Not their fault they're Cajun-style caucasians Aside from the fact that we eat large quantities of pork, and observant-type Orthodox Jews don't, we're practically cousins! Not sure what Thomas Sowell said about us, but he's all right by my book. - pretty much despised everywhere outside our homeland (No dogs and Chinese allowed in) - money-minded and born entrepreneurs - traditionally worshipped One True God (YHWH for the Jews, Shang Ti for the Chinese, and yes, He is the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob) - strong family, education and work ethic See, I think God was doing a study in contrast. We're the most populous people around; the Jews, not so much. Pretty much no neighbours threatens China; yeah, you know what they doing to Israel. Yet they were God's Chosen people, and somehow, they persist and survive millennium upon millennium.

7 Dear Darrell; Go check out my linky, and my public albums, of which the one with the family portrait is annotated. Then come back and tell me my sister isn't reasonably hot. And then consider my father has about 14 siblings, and some of my 50++ cousins are female, and some half of those are hotter. Why don't we talk about about your sister also?

8 I would, but I don't have a sister. I was deprived as a child. Still am as an adult. I was referring to the part when you said "I, uh, have unorthodox sexual tastes, too, (did I mention my sister? No? Maybe I won't then) so, you know." Things like that catch my eye. And no disrespect is intended. I saw your album and all the girls look hot. If you are in engineering, you have NO right to be with half that number of girls in your lifetime! What the hell! AND NONE OF THEM ARE INFLATABLE! What the hell again! When I went to college there were only three girls in the whole program and, I think, one of them was inflatable. What is wrong with girls in the US? What is wrong with knowing that 2 to the 31st power is 2147483648 ??? Who can't name the ship that the original settlers arrived on in "Forbidden Planet"? You mean you don't know 1000 words in conversational Klingon? I got a letter from one of your countrymen today, Richard C.W Choong (General Manager Internal Audit) Maybank Malaysia. He says I may have $10.5 million US coming my way. Perhaps you can collect it for me and I'll give you a 10% handling fee? I just know it is on the up and up.

When it comes to the economy, 47% of voters trust John McCain more than Barack Obama. Obama is trusted more by 41%. The latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey also found that, when it comes to the War in Iraq, McCain is trusted more by 49% of voters. Obama is preferred by 37%. McCain has an even larger edge—53% to 31%--on the broader topic of National Security. These results are little changed from a month ago.

Obama enjoys a 43% to 39% advantage when it comes to government ethics and reducing corruption. McCain has a 44% to 38% advantage on taxes.

It is interesting to note that while McCain has the edge over Obama on these issues, Democrats are trusted more than Republicans on a generic basis. This ability of McCain to outperform the party label helps explain why he is competitive with the Democrats in the Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking poll.

It'll be an interesting fall, in at least one of the senses of "interesting."

h/t: Insty, who notes:

a lot of Republicans don't like McCain, but it seems clear that the GOP primary process nominated the one candidate with a decent chance of winning in November. If Democrats respond to this year's primary debacle by revising their procedures, they should probably conside adopting a winner-take-all primary, too. Of course, that approach on the Dem side would have produced a Hillary nomination. . . .

Yup. But she's the stronger candidate.
