Score! (SF/F jigsaw puzzles)

I already have several of these, actually -- the Fire Dragon is the one I was talking about in my other post

They've also got some cool fine art puzzles, as well as an assortment of other goodies. I also particularly like this puzzle, which looks like it would be fun to do.

Due to work projects, I can't get the day off to work Election Protection this year, but they're out there, and they're doing good work.

Palin Debate Flow Chart

*snerk*

That about summarizes my feelings about the debate; she did about how I expected her to, spewing talking points without regard for coherency, accuracy, or relevance to the actual question. That'll do fine with her base, but I doubt it did much for many of the actual swing voters still in play (and the post-debate polls are backing that up). Although polls show that impressions of her improved some from this performance, that's not surprising, and it's really not the same as winning, by a long shot (the polls I've seen show impressions of Biden improving more). It just means that people had such phenomenally low opinions of her before the debate that managing not to fail spectacularly was more than they were expecting.

Despite his policies on the drug war, and on a couple of economics-related votes in the past, I really do love Biden. My big worry was that he was going to swallow his foot at some point and give up points, and I don't think he did, so I was happy with how it all turned out.

I think the debate showed her for exactly what she is, and I don't think that many of the swing voters left are so pathologically oblivious that they wouldn't notice her total lack of content, or her attempts to manipulate her audience.

I'd really been looking forward to Gwen Ifill moderating, and I have to say I was disappointed there, though. I didn't want Biden to get more aggressive, but I sure wanted Ifill to. I'm not sure why she didn't do more to make both of them (although especially Palin) actually answer the questions they were asked.

Seems like a handy meme...

...and it's a quiet afternoon:

You know how sometimes people on your friend's list post about stuff going on in their life, and all of a sudden you think "Wait a minute? Since when are they working THERE? Since when are they dating HIM/HER? since when???" And then you wonder how you could have missed all that seemingly pretty standard information, but somehow you feel too ashamed to ask for clarification because it seems like info you *should* already know? It happens to all of us sometimes.Please copy mine below, erase my answers putting yours in their place then post it in your journal! Please elaborate on the questions that would benefit from elaboration! One-Word-Answers seldom help anyone out :)

Any other questions you've been wondering? I'll take no offense at all; I don't expect everyone's pouring over my LJ in minute detail, obsessively catalogging and memorizing the details of my life (I'd be a bit creeped if y'all were, I think!)
