Feel free to ignore this one, it has nothing to do with the baby.

Finn slept through the speech last night, but I'll be able to tell him he was there.*
He also slept through the announcement this morning that John McCain had chosen his granddaughter** as his running mate. I guess he can't use the whole "experience" campaign tactic anymore.***

*Notice how I am shamelessly using my child to make this post relevant to this blog when it would be more appropriate on kittywhumpus? Get used to it, son. I will not, however, be putting him in an Obama Onesie.

**Cheap, ageist joke. I am not surprised at the choice, really. It's a purely political one that hopes to get at former Sen. Clinton supporters and young up Sen. McCain a little. He's basically chosen his Obama. One could say that Sen. Obama chose his McCain in Sen. Biden, but Sen. Biden is qualified to take over should Pres. Obama be unable to govern. Both these candidates should be choosing someone serious as their running mate because of the possibility that they may not be around to finish their term in office, and I don't feel Sen. McCain's choice reflects that reality.

*** I really hate it when people take an otherwise a-political space and make it political, and it just goes to show you how things are really only bad when other people do them.

Just kidding. I'll take this sort of thing back to kittywhumpus as this campaign continues, unless I truly feel that it's a policy issue that relates to our lives and Finn's future.

p.s. Dear Senator Obama,
There's no such thing as "Clean Coal Technology."
You may as well say that you are going to pour research dollars into faerie power.
love,
Karen
