The Undecided Democrat (The Donkey, Not Me)

The Undecided Donkey

Want to hear the NPR clip from the democratic debate party we attended? It was fun, especially with the guy next to Clint yelling, “Bitch!,” at Hillary on the big screen. The guy next to me politely clapped for Hillary’s strong points even though he was clearly an Obama supporter.

Last week was a tough one. Some poop happened, but we are doing well after a sunny weekend.

Rally with Obama

Posted by dixie on Feb 21 2008 | Random/ Life

Stand for Change Rally with Barack Obama in Austin tomorrow.

I swear I have never cared this much about politics. I have never even voted in a primary before! I guess that is what eight years of a bush can do to you.

At Least I Can Watch

Posted by dixie on Feb 20 2008 | Random/ Life

Thanks to E’s post, we will be watching the debate at the Drafthouse. I’m excited! I think it will be fun. With the current state of depressed finances in the Young & With It household, I feel a little guilty buying food to reserve seats. However, I think it will be so much fun that we can’t miss it. NPR will be there!

My Chances Were Pretty Good

Posted by dixie on Feb 20 2008 | Animals, Random/ Life

So I guess neither Clint nor I won tickets to the democratic debate at UT on Thursday. Our chances were pretty good, you know, at a 1 in 40-something-thousand chance.

I am still all about Obama. He ruled it again last night. Texas matters!

I tried to take a photo of Neko and Callie snuggling yesterday, but all I got was this lousy tongue photo.

And Sherman has a macaroni toe. That’s his new nickname too – “Macaroni Toe” Sherman.

Have you ever heard of “liquidated damages” in an employee contract, wherein the employee could owe the employer 3 months salary if they leave the company outside of very specific terms? It is the craziest thing I have ever read. I googled it and the practice seems common in China, where they may owe one months salary it seems, and for doctors and newscasters in the U.S. But not graphic designers.

I will leave it at that for now. As far as I know, I have always been employed “at will.”
