They blink too! They belong to a girl at work named Karli, who reminds me of Sprizee because she has a thing for pink.  

More thoughts on the Friend

Granted, we have been friends for a long time now. I've always thought that my friend held the sme political views I do, but until now it's never mattered. And to tell truth, I don't know that he did vote for Bush, I'm very certain he did though. I just can't shake the feeling of betrayal at the thought of some one I know voting for Bush without me being able to change their mind.

Friends don't let friends vote for Bush

I have a friend who, I’m very nearly certain, voted for Bush. He told me as recently as a week prior to the election that he was considering voting for Bush because of the terrorism issue. I’m thinking very seriously about cutting him off as a friend. You see, the problem isn’t necessarily that he voted for Bush, it’s that I no longer respect him for coming to that decision. Having succumbed to America’s jingoistic view of Muslims I now think that perhaps my friend doesn’t have the intellectual agility I originally credited to him. Is there any one else out there who feels betrayed by a friend who voted for Bush? I’m interested in reader’s opinions on the matter so please post a comment.
