Soon

I shall be around more soon. I WILL. Three more days of work…

Joss demanded a story, so I wrote it. It’s f-locked on lj (yes, I have one of those, to make it easier to read the fanfic to keep up with the interwebs) but let me know if you want to read it and lj hates you. (it hates me. A friend had to make the lj for me. I live in fear livejournal will figure out I’m the owner of *censored for the protection of my lj*) Two thousand words, and it’s actually pretty good.

But, just to throw out some controversy–apparently Barack Obama goofed, said his great-uncle was there to help liberate Auschwitz when it was actually Buchenwald. The Republican National Committee is saying that “Obama’s frequent exaggerations and outright distortions raise questions about his judgment and his readiness to lead as commander in chief.” (here)  Leaving out all mention of the outright lies of the current commander in chief (okay, that’s as restrained as I can get.  I’m sorry.)

‘kay. Obama got his camps mixed up. A shame it might be, but it’s hardly an exaggeration. Buchenwald was a large concentration camp where it’s estimated fifty-six thousand people died, and his great-uncle was there. Is the Republican National Committee suggesting that Obama deliberately lied because liberating Buchenwald isn’t as good a thing as helping free Auschwitz?

Hillary Clinton remembers being shot at in Bosnia when no such thing occurred. I’d think that would be something one would remember, especially as it happened (or didn’t happen) in her lifetime.

And McCain…McCain says Iraq is safe–but when he goes to visit, he’s protected by body armor, a hundred soldiers, and five helicopters (two of them Apache gunships, swoon!) (bad fangirl! Down!)

Come on, people. Put your politics aside and think for a moment?
