Instead of a dark Lord, we would have an Empress – beautiful and terrible as the smoking ban, nicotine-fee as the sea, snarkier than the foundations of the earth. All shall love her and despair.'

I walk. I talk. I shop, I sneeze. I'm gonna be a fireman when the floods roll back. There's trees in the desert since you moved out. And I don't sleep on a bed of bones.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Jay Hammond, former governor of Alaska, true statesman, and all around good guy, passed away in his sleep last night.
WHAT?
Oh, dammit. Damn damn damn. Need to call Mom tonight, she's not going to be happy.

Joe, however, was not strong and was done in by the teat of the goddess nicotine.
Wow, only the Empress could make smoking sound so HOTT.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

I'm sad that my ignorance of other states' politics is so vast that I never would have known he existed at all if you hadn't mentioned that he died. He sounds like an amazing person -- we have so many politicians and so few statesmen.
(((Hec))) Email me if there's anything I can do on the home/Emmett/commute fronts to free up your time and energy and ease the stress.
Stooopid job.

He was an old time statesman. I don't think they make them like that anymore. You can read about him here: [link]

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

I'm just impresses that there is another teat on EARTH what with being married to yours, um, you.

Embrace the idea that we are the leaders we've been looking for. Grace Lee Boggs
When I was at the University of Alaska Fairbanks, he came and spoke to my English class (about 12-14 people) for about 2-3 hours. We weren't any special class, but he had a few extra hours and the teacher asked him, so he said ok. We talked about a variety of issues facing Alaska and the world. His thorough understanding of the issues amazed me. He explained implications of actions that I never would have thought of, and yet they made perfect sense.
He was talking about an oil subsidy for rural Alaskans. This subsidy was not based on need, just location. He thought that people made a choice to live in rural Alaska, that there were pros and cons to that choice, but that others shouldn't subsidize that choice. He discussed many other aspects of the subsidy, pro and con, but I was always impressed that he said what he believed, even if it would cost him, as someone who was eligible for the subsidy, thousands of dollars a year.
