Crusade time!

Sarah Palin on the Iraq war:

"Our national leaders are sending them out on a task that is from God," she said. "That's what we have to make sure that we're praying for, that there is a plan and that plan is God's plan."

Sauce.

Also, God wants us to build more oil pipelines in Alaska. Who knew?

I wanted to at least feel like I could respect Palin, but after watching her speech last night... thanks, but no thanks. I guess she's an adequate scripted speaker, though I have yet to really see her speak off-the-cuff. Last night's prepared remarks just felt bitter and condescending to me. Sure, Biden wasn't all roses for McCain in his speech, but there was at least a measure of respect for the opposition that seemed to be entirely absent from basically every speech I've heard from the RNC so far. I am SO looking forward to the VP debate next month. I hope that Biden eats Palin alive.

Will you and Rachel be able to vote absentee for the November elections? How does that work when you're living abroad?

We have no idea (how it works). It's getting close to the time when we'd want to request ballots, though...

...looks like we'll have to talk to a consulate. I think there's one in Nagoya. We should do that anyway to register as Americans living abroad, in case we get arrested or something and need to deal with Japan's rather...harsh...justice system.
