Recs and a rant

Recs:
SPN art: Evil!Sam by luluxa
Very cool picture of evil!Sam, delightfully laidback and looking even more menacing for that. The reflections of light are done really nicely as well.

SGA playlist: I'm enjoying Megadeth. Who'da thought? Also, I'm listening to Mission and Save Yourself on repeat from this Fighting Zombies playlist posted by miss_porcupine (as part of the SGA drabble she'd done based on the zombie killing meme). Makes walking very hard when my feet keep trying to follow the beats of the songs.

Every time I feel like I haven't posted for a long time, I realize that I've posted less than a week ago. Checking lj multiple times a day really screws up time perception of posting. SGA Flashart project being worked on, something will be up soon :)

Lots of political stuff going on, so in lieu of any deep political insight I only have this to say, both Obama and Palin's kids are unbelievably cute. Oh wait, I also have this to say, could people be slightly less sickening please? There are actual issues that can be talked about. Dragging candidates' families into the muck is very very low, and is also nobody's business but theirs. Not that I believe it would have been any different had it been a "scandal" from the other side, some of the parties feeling righteously wronged would have been saying/doing exactly the same things they are decrying now. People can be classy that way sometimes. This however, is good to see. Unfortunate that it even needs to be said, but still.

I can understand the point about 'do you want to elect someone who is a blatant liar' as some people are saying, but as you say, it's not about the families, it's about the issues. I did not touch on this personal family issue, nor will I link to anything that hints at it on my blog. But I will continue to point out information that shows my Governor in her true light...and it's not a pretty picture when all is said and done.

I'm pretty sure I don't know or associate anyone who would have treated, say, one of Biden's kids the way that Palin and her family have been treated by some of Obama's biggest fans. But yes, good for Barack for showing some backbone (?) ;)
