An Entrails Reader�s Guide to the November Election - Maureen Farrell at BuzzFlash.com: "'I trust God speaks though me,' Bush reportedly told the Amish. 'God told me to strike at al Qaida and I struck them, and then he instructed me to strike at Saddam, which I did,' Haaretz quoted Bush saying. 'We will export death and violence to the four corners of the earth in defense of our great nation,' Bob Woodward said Bush said."

Assuming the accuracy of this article...aren't you a little freaked out? I am.

Sinclair Broadcast Group Advertisers

Sinclair Broadcast Group Advertisers

This site contains all of the Sinclair advertising partners. I urge you to boycott them, and let them know about it! A stock letter that i used to emaild these companys is as follows:

I and my family are boycotting your product because of your affiliation with Sinclair Broadcast Group and its plans to air a highly inflammatory anti-Kerry film days before the election without giving equal time to Kerry. This move is not only unethical, it is illegal. This boycott will continue until you tell Sinclair that you advocate fairness and equality in this election. We will also do our best to spread the word to everyone we know that your company is involved in unfair and unethical politics.

BOYCOTT SINCLAIR ADVERTISERS

Days before the November election, Sinclair Broadcast Group will be forcing certain of their television affiliates to broadcast a highly partisan anti-Kerry film entitled "Stolen Honor: Wounds that Never Heal." This move is not only unethical, but under the Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act, is also illegal. This blog encourages people to write to the various Sinclair affiliates and demand that they either refrain from showing the documentary or allow a pro-Kerry film of equal length and depth to be displayed in much the same manner. I highly encourage everyone to send out some emails. Thankfully, we have a "copy and paste" feature that will save your fingers. :)

This is a classic representation of what happened on Friday night's debate. Fun!

Stick It to Bush!

Stick It to Bush!

In case anyone needs a reason why Bush should NOT be reelected, here it is. Frankly, I'm sick of being embarrassed to be an American. Hopefully with Kerry in office, foreign perceptions might swing in our favor once again.

On a side note, I'm VERY tempted to purchase one of the Bush voodoo dolls (found on the main page). If you stick it in the ass, will he holler?

House-Selling Woes

So the matter of contention for the past day and a half has revolved around our house, specifically, the contract between us and the realtors. Back in June, we negotiated with a team of realtors for a whopping 6% commission. We had faith that they'd be successful. Unbeknownst to us (and one half of the realty "team"), one of our realtors decided to quit the business without notifying anyone. Right now, we have a VERY hot lead on a couple from California who need to move ASAP. They're supposed to come up from CA this weekend to view 5 properties selected by their realtor. Our remaining realtor wanted to wait to renegotiate our contract until AFTER the couple saw our house. Bret agreed with her. Unfortunately, the move made no sense to me. If the one realtor is out of the picture, why enable her to get any commission at all? Furthermore, if we renegotiate at a lower rate, that would enable us to get more money from the sale of our house (1.5% more, to be exact). For some reason I have yet to understand, Bret wouldn't call our realtor back to make the arrangements to update our contract immediately. It spawned a furious debate. Granted, I could have just as easily made the phone call, but I have something called social anxiety, and I often opt to leave phone calls from my parents unanswered, let alone talk to a virtual stranger. Call it Pavlovian, but something about feeling nauseous, having my palms sweat and my heart race is enough of a deterrent for me. You'd think after being together for 7 years, Bret would accept it by now. Obviously, my medication isn't enough for me to combat it. At any rate, I begged and pleaded with Bret to phone the realtor back and demand that we renegotiate now. He finally did, and it turns out that once again, I was right. So why wasn't the sweet taste of victory filling my mouth? Couldn't tell ya. Perhaps I was too exhausted to care. Now I'm just stressed out about these people coming to view our house. I so want to move...but we've had it listed long enough to feel discouraged at every potential buyer who we never hear from again. The stress certainly isn't helping me recover from my depressive tendencies.
