This coming winter Americans will [hopefully] be able to choose their leader. Their choices do seem a little limited, at least to my eyes. BUT! if you want a boiled-straight-to-the-point comparison to choose your lesser of two evils, then go and have a look at this little animation:

This evening I was leaving Super Valu (this is not a typo). I was carrying groceries, as one does when leaving a grocery store. Among these were two boxes of Coke. So I was well-laden.
I decided to go out the ‘out’ door, since that’s why it’s there. Its purpose for being. It would feel lost in the universe if no one ever went out it. It’s even one of those very polite doors that opens itself for you as walk just inside it. It won’t open, though, for people who walk just outside it. That’s a job for the ‘in’ door.
So, I walked into the path of its all-seeing eye, and it opened for me. And a woman walked in. She was not carrying anything, and was in my way. Not I in hers. I was using the correct door; she was not.
I don’t know, though, if the out door felt violated for having been misused in this way. And if it said something, I certainly couldn’t hear it over being yelled at to get out of the way. By the woman. Coming in. The ‘out’ door.
And she wasn’t even wearing a raspberry beret.

Tonight I finally got a chance to watch Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines. I started it a little after midnight, making it 24 July 2004.
The date given for the initial attack by the machines against humanity: 24 July 2004.
What are the chances that I would just happen to watch this for the first time on that day?
Just to be on the safe side, I’m keeping my eyes closed at 6:18 PDT this evening.
