If we live our lives the right way, then everything we do can become a work of art.

OK, this is what's freaking me out
A Quinnipiac University Poll released on Thursday shows that Barack Obama trails John McCain in Ohio (by 5 points) and Florida. Hillary Clinton leads McCain in Ohio (by nine points), Florida and Pennsylvania. No one has been elected president since 1960 without taking two of those three states.
I see what you're saying, but it's an actual poll and real statistics, so there's some predictive value. It's not like they're casting sticks or reading entrails.
Polls always scare me because I feel that many people look to the polls to figure out how to vote. Any asshole with money can commission a poll with the results they want.
The Quinnipiac University Polling Institute is a valid one, though, so we have reason to be unsettled.
I'm a simple guy. I like y'all, but don't tell me you're a "people person", OK?
Also, if you tell me you are "straight-acting", I'll still be polite (Grandma Betsy lives on in me), but we'll be through. I read. I can love you if you don't read much, but if you read really bad shit, then I may not be able to love you. I'm liberal. Way. Who doesn't enjoy a nice trip (or a nice piece of fish)? I've traveled some, and I'll arrange my life so that I always can. Old people, babies (in their case, I think it's because my head/body ratio is similar), and your mother dig me (probably more than you do), and I'm OK with that. Know that if I am into you, I'll be amenable to just about anything. He'll be a lucky man who I aim to please. I'm aiming just thinking about you.

Don't forget all the feminists who will vote for the man who calls his wife a cunt if Hillary doesn't win the nomination.
Ummmm....what?
I like political tid-bit facts like that. It seems to convey we are a superstitious lot who need/want predictions how the future will be.

On a side note, elections always make me feel all important because I'm from Pennsylvania.
Perhaps the only time Pennsylvania's important?
