i was fixing to do a rewrite but immediately bashed into the wall of boredom. ouch. however, to answer your question... um... irish appalachian? maybe? you know, softer around the edges and longer on the vowels. think jennifer nettles, only palatable.

on the way home this evening, i thought of something i really wanted to talk to you about. guess what? that's right I FORGOT.

however.

there was a story on NPR about hidden racist remarks made during the recent presidential campaign. for example, after the first debate, former senator john sununu said pres obama was "lazy and detached". now, i missed this whole brouhaha, but apparently there was quite an outcry about this being a racist remark. really? i mean, did you see the first debate? um... mr-O didn't really exhibit what you would call 'energy' per se. he did seem detached. lazy? mmmmmaybe? although 'lazy' implies an intentionality that i am not sure was present. like, just tired you can't help that, but lazy you can help, you know? so, not 100% sure i would have said lazy, but okay, i can see it is one possible description. but i do think someone will need to explain to me why it is racist.
