The only thing sexier than a wordnerd, is an informed wordnerd.
So, as I hope most of you are doing, I find myself reading a lot of political news recently.
Here’s some interesting/horrifying/unbelievable stuff:
John McCain has missed 63.8% of 110th congress votes.
He has missed votes about Immigration reform, war funding, and foreign intelligence. When he has voted, it’s been to say NO to increasing funding for Children’s healthcare.
(You can find out who has missed what votes and who has voted for what here.)
Sarah Palin belongs to church who thinks they can “pray away the gay,”
that is, Sarah Palin’s church is promoting a conference that promises to convert gays into heterosexuals through the power of prayer. And, of course Palin has no opinion about this.
Sarah Palin constantly talks about how great she is for not supporting the “bridge to nowhere” But Palin originally supported construction of the bridge, which would have linked the city of Ketchikan with its airport on sparsely populated Gravina Island.
“I’m not going to stand in the way of progress that our congressional delegation — in the position of strength that they have right now — they’re making those efforts for the state of Alaska to build up our infrastructure,” Palin said during a debate shortly before her 2006 election as governor. “I would not get in the way of progress of this project or other projects they’re working so hard on.”
That’s all for today folks. KEEP INFORMED.

P.S. My girlfriend and I try to “pray away the gay” every night, but we usually just end up making out.
The devil!
