Creepy Egg Crate Clouds

This past month (year?) the weather has been acting weird. These past few weeks it's been raining non-stop. Last week, at some point, we were treated to these weird tornado indicative clouds repetitively. I did a touch of photoshopping on them to make the contrast more visible. The camera didn't quite capture the odd luminescence, almost like a rainbow, that the clouds had.

Obama's Not taking Campaign financing

I am so impressed with Obama. I don't really understand much about campaign finance and am confused as to why he is getting paned in the conservative media for not accepting this funding. Several quotes suggested that he was lying somehow to the American people for choosing not to accept the money. I just don't get how this is not a positive step. I think he makes an eloquent point, and is brave to be taking action now, while he is running and vulnerable.

I am getting more and more excited about Obama and have even searched through the campaign swag site to try to find a teeshirt that I like, or a bumper magnet. However, all of the tee-shirts are on backorder. I'm sorta hoping he'll pick Al for vice, although I rather doubt Al is going to be down with being vice again. Here's hoping.
But it is exciting to actually be excited about a presidential candidate. Although I have grown to adore Al I was indifferent to him when he ran before. Since watching his movie (several times, I find it riveting) I wonder if he wasn't better served in the long run to make a bigger, more pointed splash about the environment by not winning the (court's decision of the outcome of the) election.
I just watched that new Kevin Spacey movie "Recount" recently and am still dubious about the shenanigans that went on there. Really, I still adamantly disagree with the electoral collage. However, as proved by the 2000 elections, and the more recent primary voting failures, we need to work on the voting system. Also, I very much agree that people should follow rules that were set before the elections... and after watching "Recount" understand that the rules had to be followed, despite the horrible after effects and stupidity.

Very adorable sheep.

I suppose there might be something to that radiation/cell phone thing, huh?!
