Anya: It's lovely! I wish it was mine! Oh like you weren't all thinking the same thing. Giles: I'm fairly certain I wasn't.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
WELCOME LILLIAN!!!!!!!
You really took your time getting into this world, Missy. No more grief for your parents until you're 35.
I adore the fact that Plei posted before, during and directly after labor. That's right up there with Aimee having Emma while wearing her tiara.
I think Fiona started the tradition with an 'I'm in labour and off to the Hospital' post. It's a grand, grand, geek thing.

I see that the House has voted to repeal the estate tax. Ah good, more tax breaks for the wealty just what we need when we're running a massive deficit. This would seem really cynical if it followed a bill to prevent more people from being able to declare chapter 7 bankruptcy. Oh yeah, never mind.

Now tagless for your comfort.

It's be extra special is most of those people were the result of astronomical medical bills--or better yet--it those people were in the military serving in Iraq and Afghanistan.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
IIRC, the House has passed anti estate tax stuff before and it got nowhere in the Senate. I'm hoping that happens again.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I missed both Alias and Eyes last night. Does anyone feel like giving me summaries?
I hope I can get my Tivo set up today before I leave. This sucks.

I don't/won't have a connected VCR, so I couldn't watch them. Thanks though!

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

What the hell is wrong with you?
Alias: It turns out that Vaughn's dad is really (apparently) dead. We learn this after his rogue excursion with the guy from The Wire in which he shoots Dixon in the bulletproof vest, and retrieves something Rambaldi from the CIA. Wire guy says that Sloane was behind the whole thing. Speaking of Sloane, Nadia's been visiting her aunt in prison, who takes the opportunity to poison herself with chocolate to get Syd to come visit. The upshot is that Syd looks into who really ordered the hit on her, and it turns out Sloane was framing her mother for same. Or was he? Because some creepy guy in Santiago is calling himself Sloane too -- this is definitely the Sloane behind getting Vaughn to go rogue. In the meanwhile, back at the ranch, Marshall steals SpyDaddy's bodily fluid for a test which reveals he's a big old mutant. He seems stoically okay with all that, until Marshall points out it'll hurt Syd if he dies. Seems out of character for him to not have thought of that earlier, though. Also, Vaughn was hot when he a) kicked the shit out of Wire guy, and b) forcibly rebuffed the advances of the chick on his rogue mission not to mention c) speaking French. Go team him.

The internet finally does something important for academia! Now your scholarly papers can be written for you in seconds, including tables and figures. The developers even got one of their randomly generated papers accepted for presentation at an academic conference! As you might expect, the pioneers here are in Computer Science, but I'm sure that the rest of us will catch up soon.
