Вот оно - полное сумашествие... Вот она - свобода выбора... При вопросах о ремонте начинается паника... Если бы я только точно знала чего хочу, да еще и наши с мужем мнения сходились - это было бы идеально... А пока это просто ахтунг. Ну ведь я же белая и пушистая... а это основные признаки песца (с) ivan_prog

This was originally written in response to a post by prog about the length of The Big Broadcast.

If you don't swear to...

9:00: Man, Prop 2 in MA (decriminalize possession of small amounts of pot) is actually winning, by a much higher margin than I expected. I figured most people would just go, "Just Say Noooo! Drugs baaaad!" I saw nobody outside campaigning in either direction for this one -- I guess smoking up outside polling places doesn't play as well as hanging out with cute puppies.
