On the roadtrip to and from California Haley and I listened to Al Franken's The Truth (With Jokes), which was very awesome. Hilarious, very very informative, and it had a good hopeful message even though it was wading through the shit that was the 2004 election and the Bush administration. As I was listening to it, I realized that I had no idea who the Secretary of Defense is now that Rumsfeld is gone. And tonight I realized I had no idea who replaced Alberto Gonzales as Attorney General. I was rather surprised, I feel like I should know shit like that. But I guess we don't really find out about these guys unless they fuck up massively... wait, have the new guys fucked up massively and I didn't notice because I was too absorbed in DW fandom? I'm guessing no, I don't think I was that oblivious to the world of politics. So um, yeah, there's your random incredibly unimportant story for the day.

And now for something somewhat related: I'm going to vote tomorrow! One of the early voting locations in Salt Lake happens to be in the same building as my last class. I seriously just have to walk down a flight of stairs and I'm there. I wasn't going to let my laziness stop me from voting of course, I'm very excited about the whole thing, but it's nice that I don't have to put hardly any effort into actually getting there.
