Dear People Looking for Volunteers,

You are looking for people to volunteer during the week. You are, in fact, looking for a fairly large number of people for a fairly substantial number of hours.

When I tell you that I'm available after 6:30 every night and that I'd love to help out, it isn't really good policy to respond that you need people who can start at 5, thanks for offering, and proceeding to hang up. Dude. I have an office job. More to the point, A LOT OF PEOPLE have office jobs. How exactly do you plan to get people who can start at 5pm promptly, since most of us work until then? If you can manage this, I'm sincerely impressed. Since I'm rather doubting that, well... good luck?

Regretfully,
Me

Dear US,

Please, do something about the train wreck that is the Palin/McCain campaign. No, really. Schadenfreude has been exhausted, and I'm cringing in pity. I don't know if they're embarassed, but they should be, and I'm embarassed for them!

Shamefully,
Me

Harper,

The Arts are for the Elite? Really? F'koff, already, would you? Also, would you stop trying to imitate the US? We can see how well THAT's working out, hmm?

Anticipating elections, now-ish, thanks,
Me
