Two Things

(1) Have you all seen this SNL sketch of McCain being a "space invader" aka stalker? It's really bizarre. Some parts seem to be making fun of a faulty justice system (that doesn't prosecute crimes against women) but it mostly just makes me uncomfortable. It's especially hard when a bunch of actresses that I think are rad and awesome are in the sketch, because it makes me feel like I'm taking it too seriously. But they have to realize that the majority of people watching don't have a sweet feminist filter to appreciate what they are doing, right? Also Lifetime is definitely available for mockery but things haven't changed enough to start making fun of movies that tell female victims' stories yet. But also I have to say, McCain not too bad of an actor. Much better than Lindsay Lohan when she hosted.

(2) Did you know about 7-Election? 7-11 has cups you can choose to use for your 7-11 coffee, a McCain and an Obama. And they've done it for the past two presidential elections and the voter/coffee drinker/customers have been right both times! Weird.
