11:07a - come quick, sam's getting his ass kicked by a girl!
i'll say this and no more: the emmys are bullshit; i do not love them.
i do love allison janney, though, or c.j. cregg, to be more exact. speaking of, the season premiere of the new aaron sorkin-less west wing comes on tonight at 9:00. i must ask that you refrain from calling me during that hour. i will seriously kick you in the nuts. seriously.
and speaking both of bullshit and of seriously kicking you in the nuts: people keep asking me how i voted on initiatives 75 and 77 and blah di blah and i've said it before and i'll say it again: the initiative process is RETARDED and i want no part in it. yeah, it's a nice thing to have in case you know, the appropriate branches of government fail to respond to an issue, but just because the state legislature isn't doing what you want it to do doesn't mean there should be channels to circumvent policy-making. if elected officials don't reflect your views, don't vote for them, and if you didn't vote for them, but they ended up in office anyway, tough fucking luck. i mean, we elect representatives for a reason, that reason being that most of us can't enact thoughtful policy, you know, the kind that weighs pros and cons and take things like, you know, the budget, into account.
and plus, if i may generalize, the people behind initiatives, like tim eyman from last year, are often totally sleazy and self-absorbed. except that one chick, because, really, sex offenders should stay in prision forever. and the espresso tax proponent seemed nice, but i don't see the correlation between taxing espress drinkers and child care. but that's just me.
