soapbox

sorry for filling the best blog with so much political crap, but this quote caught my eye:

Republicans have traditionally championed respect for the delicate balance the founders created. But in the Schiavo case, and in the battle to stop the Democratic filibusters of judicial nominations, President Bush and his Congressional allies have begun to enunciate a new principle: the rules of government are worth respecting only if they produce the result we want. It may be a formula for short-term political success, but it is no way to preserve and protect a great republic.

so, i figured out why my oil light keeps trying to come on. i have a nice little oil leak. i’m hoping it’s related to the alternator replacement last month, so that i can get it fixed for free. it’s been leaking all over one of the belts (is there an alternator belt? i’m thinking there is) so it’s sprayed all over the dipstick and underneath what i’m guessing to be the air intake to the engine? a fine little mess.

another gripe? i’m SICK TO DEATH of the stupid commercial for the new-age-shit-masquerading-as-a-quantum-physics-movie “What the Bleep Do We Know”. is it only showing on bravo or something? every freaking show i watch, there it is!
