Just do it.
Behold, the power of Fark.

I’ve been registered as a non-partisan/decline to state voter since the day after I turned 18.

I’ve heavily considered Libertarian, Green, and Independent status, and given slight consideration to the Democrats.

I recently became a card-carrying member of the ACLU. I also support Doctors Without Borders, the EFF and a few other progressive organizations.

I regularly write letters to my Senators, both of whom are Democrats (in title, at least.)
So I guess it was just a matter of time before I got a mailing from the DNC.

The clouds speed across the sky, white and grey.
Green leaves rustle, vibrant against the greyness of the impending storm.
The Sun stabs through the clouds. Placid blue pools sit atop shafts of light.
A chill wind blows.
The sky weeps.

Anne’s friend and her awesome kids have returned home, we’re back to cooking for four instead of seven (I have no idea how you Mormons do it!) and our house is once again silent, except for the jingle of Ferris’s collar, and the hum of all my computer fans.
We had such a great time while they were here: we went to Disneyland on Thursday, California Adventure on Friday (Huge, huge, huge thank you’s go out to Eric, who signed our friends in both days, and Tom, who signed Ryan and Nolan in on Friday).
The kids hadn’t ever been to Disneyland before. The best part of the experience for me was watching their faces on The Haunted Mansion, or the Pirates of the Caribbean. I recalled how magical those rides were to me when I was a kid, and seeing the excitement and wonder play across their faces took me back to a time when pirates chased wenches, not plates of food.

Check it out.
No, seriously. Check it out.
