If it wasn't so darn cold, I'd probably enjoy living in Minnesota. Jesse Ventura one year, now it looks like Al Franken is going to win. They have fun with their politics.

I voted yes on 2. I lost my aunt to cancer. If there is a way to find a cure, as long as it's humane, I'm for it. Those embryos are just going to be thrown out. If they can be used for good, then they should be.

I'm not sleepin' 'til I see the president elect's speech.

They're already calling him "President Obama" on CNN. But that's CNN.

ETA: Yay for bickering on CNN.

My mother's big fear is that some crazy person is going to kill Obama, and we'll have President Biden.
