What's Your Political Philosophy?
created with QuizFarm.com


The first time I took this quiz this past weekend, I was Green but I think this better fits my personality and voting for the Green party would be a throwaway vote even if I did agree with their policies. Honestly, I'd much rather keep out those who shouldn't be in office than put in those who should. In this day and age, it doesn't seem you can have it both ways. Looking ahead to the 2008 elections, right now, I think I'd vote for Hillary Clinton but I'd honestly not be that upset with John McCain as he's much more moderate than the current administration and, well, let's leave it at that...

An amusing note on the baseball front: I read in today's paper a quote from pitcher Matt Clement that said he played at Wrigley Field instead of Fenway Park. Was there more permanent damage from when he was hit in the head with that comebacker to the mound last season than people believed or is he just a moron?

And why has the media focused on the worry spots of Clement and Wells when Wakefield hasn't pitched stellarly either not mention that it was made painfully obvious recently that Beckett isn't as automatic as we were led to believe? True, Clement and Wells are big problems but most of the rotation is a problem so why minimize the blame?

I agree with you on the voting thing, and I'm definately a green party gal. And, wouldn't it be interesting if McCain was voted in....people are constantly telling my Dad he looks just like him. ;)

McCain and your father could be twins. I've thought that for awhile now...

The Neglected Blog

With the discovery of the time-waster that is Facebook, I find I no longer need to waste my time here. This is mainly why I haven't done any quizzes or other memes here in a cat's age. (I'm not a dog person...) They're all over there. Also why tell you all about what's not going on in my life when I can better waste time by making fake money off Lindsay Lohan's hi-jinks? Added to that, you can regularly follow the mundaness that is my life on Twitter. I don't want to say I'll never blog again. Frankly, this site and I have chronicled much over the years and I'm not ready to give it up fully. Every so often, something comes up worth sharing. Case in point, Thursday night, there was a retirement celebration for our outgoing OT professor complete with a guest lecturer from Boston, dinner and a vesper service designed by the professor herself. It was good Thai food, though admittedly not my favorite Asian cuisine, and saw many people I knew. My parents c

Reversion To The Old Ways

Since there seems to be no rhyme or reason to which of my posts get comments and which don't, I'm going post whatever I feel like. Sure, I love comments but I must face facts that I'm not going to get them. No, I'm not going to review every episode of every TV show I'm going to watch this new season again simply because it doesn't appeal to me any more. To be sure, I will write about some of the new series since that does still interest me but not every episode... I am going to go back to complaining about my love life occassionally though because, if I can't discuss it here, where can I? Remember that workstudy student I mentioned being interested in? Yeah, well she's married apparently and I think even has at least one child so even if she didn't commute from such a long distance, nothing is going to happen with that. (Boo!) This is the first time I've discovered information of this nature before I made a complete ass of my self so this is go

This Was Supposed To Be Titled "Brooms and Baseball" But, Now, Forget It...

Saturday, my aunt and roommate went with me to see Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix . Overall, I loved it but I'd be lying if I didn't have quibbles but there was much I enjoyed about it. In the book, I found the character of Luna annoying as all get out but she totally rocked in this movie. "I'm hungry. I hope they have pudding." Delores Umbridge was also great. I did, however, miss the heavy Scottish accent Cho had in the last movie. (My cousin pointed out that she still had one but from a different region. I say it isn't the same.) I actually approved of them cutting the Quidditch stuff out of this movie but the OWL scenes, including the studying, being cut was disapointing. They had the scene with Fred and George but they didn't make clear they actually left school so what really was the point? Speaking of confusion, how exactly could the students ride creatures only Harry and Luna could see? I'm pretty sure it was explained in the book b
