I'll gladly stand up next to you
Have not been updating or keeping up with flist like I should. However, I voted today! Have you?
[Poll #257112]
I voted for Mikulski, Cardin, and the incumbent judges, and as many uncommitted delegates as I could, because I lust for the days when men were men, and they spent political conventionssmoking Morleys hashing out real issues and making stands, and anything could happen. But Maryland has this silly system where they segregate delegates by sex, and I ended up having to go with Kerry on the balance, for lack of a more interesting option. Mind you, I called it ten months ago. *gloats*. Too bad the only really obscure candidate was a pro-life fanatic.
I was looking at the detailed results over at cnn.com, and was unaccountably cheered to find that Bush had a freakin' 85% disapproval rating at the exit polls. Granted I doubt the Republicans had a very high turnout (although they shoulda); but even among active Democrats, I'd think that's pretty impressive for a sitting President.
After voting, I went to see the Tehreema Mitha Dance Company performance. I liked it, in general, although the venue wasn't great for dance. And I was reminded once again that every time I hear contemporary Indian music I really like it, so I should make an effort to acquire some.

It's not that I disapprove of his views, and in truth, I voted for him anyway. It's just that...
Did you ever see the Garfield cartoon? *waits for a nod*
Do you remember the man who was the used car salesman, politician, and all the other swindlers on the show? *waits for a less-likely nod*
I swear upon a stack of Bathroom Readers that John Kerry looks exactly like that guy. i mean a perfect match. Like they were crafted from the same mold.It's creepy.
I just realized that this comment is not nearly pointless enough for my standards...

Subtlety isn't my strong point.
--there. that should do it.

Oh, and I found Face in the Frost in McKeldin - bizzarely, neither Montgomery nor Prince George's nor Howard nor Baltimore nor Carroll nor Anne Arundel Counties have it, though Pratt does. You have tremendously good taste in books.

I mean, if it's simply a match in the setting of a steel-cage, Mote would have the advantage. Using his opponents relative youth against him, he would wait out Hrabowskis best attacks, and, despite taking a few blows, would be the one in the end with more energy to finish out the match for the 1,2,3.
But in a traditional Steel-Cage Match, the object is instead to leave the ring early. If Dr. Mote is as scary as you say, this could cause a "running from dog"-style adrenaline rush in the "chess-playing sissy" (a term I find offensive, thank you very much), catapulting Dr. Hrabowski out and over the cage in a record-breaking 3.72 seconds. Fear can hurt when the object is to run away.
That being said, I think that the match will end in a draw, when Gerald A. Heeger, president of UMUC-Europe knocks both contenders out with a steel chair.
No..
