neadodsTwo Horror Stories for your Halloween Season:
The Personal:
The air conditioner repairman has come and gone, taking an $80 check with him. The problem with the A/C fan? The corpse of a mouse tumbling around the housing. (So far, I appear to be paying the exterminators solely for a reduction in number of sightings in the living room. Not keeping up that contract!)
M, the former biology student, is all enthused. "And what's cool is, it's still in one piece! It's in a bag on the kitchen table."
She promises that it will NOT be on the kitchen table by the time I get home...
The Political:
Representative Franks of Arizona has just stood on the House floor with a bigass picture of a fetus behind him, accused Democrats of "exploiting America's love for children for temporary political gain," and explained that because abortion is still legal, he cannot in good conscience vote for a health care plan that provides insurance for the children of poor women who carried their pregnancies to term.
I weep for my country.
I weep blood for the people who think that it's perfectly fine to punish all poor women and children because pro-choice women exist.
