Which means I'm procrastinating and watching American Idol. Which really sucks this season. I just cannot get excited about any of the final four.

However, recently, I've crossed over to being a Hillary opponent. If Hillary is the nominee without winning the popular vote and pledged delegates, I will not support her run for president.

Baby stuff. I had no idea babies had so much stuff available for them: clothes, blankets, bedding (which is more than blankets), changing pads, wraps, carriers, car seats, nasal aspirators, humidifiers, wipes, wipe warmers, diapers...

My favorite part of the show is the schadenfreude of the "audition" portion of the show. Plus, last week I cringed as the dorks (for the most part) butchered some of the greatest music of all time. So, imagine my... http://www.gulbransen.net/preaching/2008/03/idle_idol.html http://www.gulbransen.net/preaching/2008/03/idle_idol.html Tue, 18 Mar 2008 21:05:02 -0600 I like McCain—I do give him credit for being an independent thinker (for the most part) and I don’t think all of his campaign platforms are unreasonable.
