Introductions

I'm Ashley and I am a sophomore at Indiana University majoring in Journalism. I am a registered Republican, but by no means do I subscribe to all of my parties beliefs. I'm pro gay marriage and pro gun control. When it comes to my money and security, however, I'm about as conservative as they come. I am not one of those Republicans that hopes for President-Elect Obama's failure or for some sort of tragedy to befall him and his family. I am an American before a Republican, and I wish him well. Not too well, however, as I fully expect a Republican government in 2012! Guiliani/Daniels anyone? I think yes!

You'll find the Dennis Miller rule of comedy in many of my posts. I love humor, and use it and sarcasm to suit my means in getting my point across. Most of it is dry and obscure, and I offer my apologies up front for that.

I hope that even if you disagree with one or both of our opinions, you grow to love us and we become a nice little family. This is a relationship, dear reader. A give and take. We welcome your opinions as well. Although, if they get nasty and/or rude, they'll be gone faster than a hairstylist at Blagojevich's gubernatorial mansion..

Hey, I'm Michelle! I'm the Democratic counterpart in this little operation. Actually, I'm technically registered as an Independent, but I'd be lying if I said I didn't identify quite a bit with the Democratic party. Anyway, welcome to Juxtapinions.

Now, I know that the two major parties have become ridiculously polarized, but please don't assume that Ashley and I are on "The Far Left" or "The Far Right" in any way. As a matter of fact, those people scare us! Ashley is not a gun-wielding, gay-hating, Bible-quoting toothless barbarian from the country, and I am not a drug-using god-hater. Nor have I ever been a part of any pagan-baby-massacring-vegan-domination-rituals. THIS week. Haha, I jest. We're pretty normal.

Okay, so we've got this INAUGURATION tomorrow! A lot of people I know have managed to travel to DC sometime within the past couple of days; how they managed to score a hotel, I will never know. I desperately wanted to be there, but I am a poor college student... Anyway, we will of COURSE have much to say tomorrow, so BE HERE!
