I’m not at work today because I’m with WifeGeeding as she gets a new glass-eye. If possible, I think I’m going to “document” the process.
It’s a petty thing, but as a resident of Lewisville, I get annoyed when people, especially the media, refer to our lake as Lake Lewisville – it’s Lewisville Lake.
I also get annoyed when people pronounce the city of Coppell as “ka-pel.” There’s no “a” in the name people.
You can try to refute me on this, but WifeGeeding works for their school system and during a convocation the mayor spoke and stated the correct pronunciation, and also stated that “ka-pel” annoys him.
I almost felt like I was in college again. Last night my buddy Bone called to say that he and my other good buddy Jimi were eating at Wing Stop. We just happened to be in the car heading towards that area, so we decided to join them. Little did we know we would hang out for several hours, both at Wing Stop and Bone’s new apartment. I haven’t done anything ‘spontaneous’ like that in quite some time.
No one in the world can make me laugh harder than Jimi, he just brings it out of me. I haven’t laughed as hard and as long as I did last night in a very, very long time.
Bone is a rather large and muscular man, and he couldn’t use his bear claw hands easily enough to hook up his stereo equipment. I was glad I could help.
Women who smoke, put their feet on the dash, and wear sleeveless turtleneck sweaters are a major turnoff.
I noticed that the sports anchor on our local Fox station has some sort of spinning CGI background – it was making me dizzy.
But I do like being able to watch the local news an hour earlier than the other stations.
This pet seal reminds me of a movie called The Golden Seal that I saw as a child.
The Jonas Brothers will be playing at the new Cowboys Stadium this weekend. I think my favorite Jonas Brother is, uh . . . . Adam. Yeah, that’s it, Adam.
The stadium is actually doing a smart thing, they are setting up a concession area outside for the parents to hang out until the concert is over.
Mike Huckabee and Jon Stewart discussed abortion on The Daily Show last night. I thought it was a very mature and civil conversation between the two, and was something I wish I could see more of regarding politics. I just wish the audience would keep quiet more often. You can watch the whole interview here.
I disagree with Huckabee on many issues, but I admire the guy for coming on The Daily Show to express his views in an eloquent and respectful way. I’m still surprised that he wasn’t the GOP’s choice during the last election.
I just watched the Huckabee/Stewart discussion. It was interesting, but neither party really budged from their talking points. I think Stewart beckoned Huckabee to "move forward" on some attempt to bring down the number of abortions (i.e. without changing law) but Huckabee didn't seem capable of hearing that proposal. This is one of the insurmountable problems with the Religious Right on this issue.
And about him being a serious presidential candidate, I just don't think he is anywhere near capable of handling large scale economic matters or international relations. He makes a great pastor and cultural conversationalist, but world leader?
I also find his argument against abortion ironic (that it is killing for economic, or self-protective reasons) since he so supports the war in Iraq. Wasn't that war motivated by the very reasoning that he accuses women seeking abortions of?
All in all, a good discussion to see between those men. I'd love to see more of that if I watched television these days…
I love it when you throw in your thoughts, I feel like it helps me gain a perspective I've longed for. Remember, I usually just get a bunch of conservative/evangelical phsycobabble.Just wanted to note that I hope you don't think that I would support Huckabee as a presidential candidate, or that I would think he would make a good president, it's just I think he would make the ideal candidate for the GOP. Looking back at Dubya's campaign, it seemed in these parts people loved him because he was a born-again Christian, very pro-life, and was from a southern state. Since Huckabee had similar qualities, I thought many would think of him as an ideal candidate, but I guess it hurts him not having daddy as a former president.And to be honest, I didn't see the whole interview online, just the abbreviated chopped-up interview that was aired; but thought it was worthy material for the website. But I do like how Huckabee is willing to go in “enemy territory” and state his views. I know he's doing it to try to get some of those future undecided voters, but the effort is appreciated on my part. And I like how both he and Stewart can talk pretty civially about such a dicey topic, something that will never happen in my neck of the woods.From: notifications@intensedebatemail.comTo: kgeeding@hotmail.comSubject: Rev.
