the pastor at my church is crazy

i'm serious.

does anybody have a digital voice recorder i can borrow? i need to record his next couple homilies.

i will first say that english is not the pastor's first language, and so sometimes it MAY seem as though he doesn't fully understand what he is saying, or the words he is making up. but that shouldn't be an excuse.

as it moves closer and closer to election day, the pastor painfully tries to inject political influence into his sunday sermon. usually it's the same ol shtick about prop 8, and even with that he scares me. two or three sundays ago, father had argued, [paraphrased] "we need to pass this proposition, blah blah blah, it is a human rights issue". and all i could do was put my head down in shock and disbelief. human rights?! are you kidding me? did you just infer that i need to vote yes on prop 8 because doing otherwise would be a violation of human rights?!

in his latest episode, pastor made more subtle attempts of political influence, saying that we are really only held to the law of god's image for us or something like that. in my opinion, he was only saying this just in case prop 8 doesn't pass.

but in any case, i need to record what he says. maybe i should even youtube it.

live blogging the last presidential debate

tonight i will be live blogging my own commentary on the presidential debate. hopefully it will be funny and worth your reading time. i'll be watching it on cnn, so as to understand which candidate is winning the squiggly line battle.

also the dodgers are losing, 1-0, to the phillies right now. top of the 2nd. i'll prolly be updating that as well. and i hate joe buck.

keep refreshing your window as the night goes on.

5:51pm
i love the focus group in cnn with soledad o'brien. i especially love how fast she talks and how slow the people react to her questions.

6:01pm
bob schieffer introduces the candidates. nice handshake between the two.

6:03pm
thank you, john, for that nancy reagan update. i was dying to know where she was.

6:06pm
is it me, or does obama look kinna tired? by the way, the women looooove obama, according to the orange squiggly line.

6:11pm
who is this joe the plumber?

6:17pm
ding, take a drink. mccain just said "spending freeze".

6:19pm
fuck you mccain. i love planetariums.

6:21pm
mccain just said "i'm not president bush" he finally has realized the game being played against him. finally. yikes. the women's squiggly line is dipping below the neutral line for mccain, and now the men's line is dipping below for obama.

6:25pm
bob schieffer has just asked about the tone of the campaign. instigatorrrr.
haha.. mccain is about to cry about an article written about him and sarah.

6:30pm
mccain refuses to look obama in the eye. haha.. now he's crying about tshirts.

6:38pm
this is quickly becoming a "he said she said" affair.

6:40pm
vice president question. i'm hoping mccain calls palin a fellow maverick.
mccain: "palin is a role model to all women"

6:45pm
cockamaney!!!!

6:55pm
without precondition. ding

6:59pm
haha.. look at the squiggly line dip, when mccain talks to joe the plumber.
i can't really type fast enough to point out all the stupid things that mccain does while obama is speaking. sometimes he's looking into the camera, while obama is answering. why?

7:14pm
this live blogging thing is harder than i thought. they're talking about abortion now. obama's weakness at that first debate.

7:16pm
yesss! education! i'm hoping obama shoots a shout out to ian.

7:27pm
mccain's smile is as creepy as hell!!!

7:31pm
debate's overrrrrrrrrrr. as they were shaking hands, mccain said "good job" about 124415 times.
also, the phillies are winning 5-1 top of the 7th. HOLLA!
