And I think now with the CoS named, I'm trying to wrap myself around the Emanuel in the position by thinking about Leo and trying to figure out what that position actually is that way.<BR/><BR/>Mom - YAY! And I'm glad you figured out how to post comments.<BR/><BR/>Simon - One day, perhaps, you shall meet my family. They are pretty darn cool. It baffles me that some people choose not to vote. I felt horribly guilty cause I didn't have my act together to vote in the primary this year. (I caucused in Feb, but there is also a Sept primary and I just didn't know enough and couldn't find my passport and didn't have an MN license...) I still carry some of that guilt in fact.Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12070752829706319872noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6047398259798836615.post-84139453513716779122008-11-04T18:58:00.000-06:002008-11-04T18:58:00.000-06:00I really enjoyed this post. First of all, how cute...I really enjoyed this post. First of all, how cute is your family? SO cute! (And by the way, I totally have your picture of Ralph Fiennes saved to my computer.) I think the act of voting is such an interesting thing. Today when I was in line the guy in front of me said, "You know, in some countries it's illegal NOT to vote." And the guy behind me snorted and said, "In some countries it's practically illegal TO vote." And I thought, having the choice to be an idiot and not vote seems particularly American and kind of great. I would add something more here that's actually substantive but it's time to go back to avid tv-watching...Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01433821407254768275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6047398259798836615.post-17959605212141098802008-11-04T09:40:00.000-06:002008-11-04T09:40:00.000-06:00Katie - I am so proud of you.

Now we have an important figure dying at the last minute in real life too (though I admit, it's not quite the same).<BR/><BR/>Captcha word: muchnot: n. the length of time remaining in Red America.Reidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01705216128276218311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6047398259798836615.post-83991469640711625182008-11-04T00:17:00.000-06:002008-11-04T00:17:00.000-06:00Erin started reading first, but I posted a comment...Erin started reading first, but I posted a comment first.
