I would definitely take the two nights at the Bellagio. Other stuff on the list may have greater market value, but Vegas, baby! And the Bellagio is beautiful.

Hot-lanta turned out to be rainy and nasty. They should call it Rainy-lanta except not. And it was so in and out that I almost felt like I wasn't there. And I got back to NYC yesterday at 1:30 and what happens by 4:00? Snow? Why does the weather hate me?

On the other hand, shiny new tag. And very enjoyable Natter reading today.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Yes, they are.

WRONG. Not that you are. It is.

Speaking of need, I could need this.

Everyone needs that because it is beautiful. I want one like that but in kelly green, which according to the interview I read w/some Ann Taylor Loft buyer in the Delta Skymiles Magazine is being referred to as parrot green for spring. Whatever it's called, I really like the color. And they had a very similar coat in that color in the magazine.

And did y'all know that there really is no Ann Taylor? It was the name of a dress style. I had no idea.

I'm sorry Atlanta treated you badly. It was pretty again today.

And did y'all know that there really is no Ann Taylor?

Also, there was no Betty Crocker. It's tricksy world.

Next you'll be saying Victoria has no Secret.

Stop the madness!

Ginger, I was sorry to miss you. And I don't think it was Atlanta's fault. I seem to be like the cartoon character under the rain cloud lately because it was sunny (if cold) when I left NYC, and as soon as I blew back into town, snow!

Well, off home. At least I have my novela to look forward to. Mmm....Gitanas. I loves me some Telemundo.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Other women politicians -- Hillary Clinton, Laura Bush, ...

Laura Bush isn't a politician. IJS.

Also, my Inner Socialist Hippie is APPALLED at the amount of money spent on those presenter baskets. Seriously. How many homeless people could that monetary amount have fed?

What is even happening?

If you leave a chain saw on your front lawn and someone comes along and cuts his finger off with it, you have some legal responsibility.
If someone steals it (deceptively collects, if you get my drift) do you still have the same responsibility? Where do you draw the due diligence line, and do you know enough about what happened to say he didn't exercise it?

That's just the thing. No matter what they mean by "deceptively collect" stealing is not an issue here, since the judge determined that Phillips gifted it to Irons. Doesn't the judge's decision on gifting it mean it has already been determined that she did not steal it? Isn't the "deceptively collect" catch-phrase more likely to be focusing on the deception of her conceiving with it, without telling him that's what she was going to do?

Yeah, extracting DNA from other cells will make your POV a bitch
No, because you shed DNA the way you breathe. You cannot help or control it. You can control where, and with whom you ejaculate, and how you dispose of the semen, after the fact.

Very many. But like I thought when Keanu turned down his Sundance gifties -- it's not even like some overworked PA will benefit instead. Just that the advertising department will have a bigger budget for mind control rays.

What blows me away is the fact that those services go for that much money. That people pay for them. But no doubt, people look at my iPod similarly.

because you shed DNA the way you breathe

Isn't it about the financial welfare of the kid, though? Jr doesn't care where the DNA came from.

The evil is this way?

Laura Bush isn't a politician. IJS.

In my opinion, yes she is. It's not necessary for her to run for or be appointed to office for her to be a politician. She's been out there actively campaigning for Bush and at least some of his policies. She has her own staff and makes appearances on behalf of causes she's promoting. She' may not be E. Roosevelt, but she's not some stay-at-home spouse, either.
