Right, they introduced her in the finale.

Technically, yeah, we should probably be whitefonting -- it hasn't been a year yet, right?

I also have high hopes for "Kitchen Confidential".

Okay, whitefonted now.

There was NOT. ONE. black person shown with or near The President.

I saw him some. I couldn't give you a percentage though.

I saw the president hugging some African Americans. I think it was somewhere in Mississippi. From what I could tell, they seemed to be giving him grief, while he gave them platitudes and that really annoying grin. Bah.

I know he stopped in Biloxi. He was "comforting" a black mother & daughter who just kept saying they'd lost everything. You could chalk it up to a photo op, but with the audio it didn't help his image much.

Ain't it the truth, aurelia. Actually, it may have been intended to be a photo op, but with that freaky grin, I think he lost on that count as well. I have a harder time judging the audio, because his voice always makes my skin crawl, so it's hard for me to listen to the words. It's a failing of mine, but one I can live with.

Norquists "bathtub

I could suggest a few people to send in first...

I'm going thru my clothes to see what I can give (if I find a way to get them there and/or an org who wants to take them) and I'm being reminded of just how many concert T's I have (mostly from shows I've worked). To name a few... Indigo Girls, U2, Rolling Stones (2 different shows), Boys II Men, Tori Amos, Widespread Panic, Tesla, Bob Dylan, John Tesh, James Taylor, Chris Isaak, Vince Gill, and Spin Doctors.

I've been thinking of going through my clothes. The problem is that most aren't suitable for one reason or another, mostly because they're cold weather clothes or because they're in poor condition. I have a box of stuffed animals that I'm mailing to a lady in WA who's driving a load of toys to Houston later this week though. I've been meaning to get rid of most of my collection of stuffed animals for years, but couldn't bear to. Now, I just look at a toy and ask myself if I really need it more than a kid who just lost everything. I kept a few, mostly kind of ratty ones that have sentimental value, but generally that answer was really a no brainer.

I think the world just twitched a little.

Off to the quake site to see if it was just a truck going by. Hard to tell when I am nearly asleep.

edit1: Little being the operative word. [link] I'm not sleeping because of a 3.9? At least it shouldn't have messed up TJ too much. And it was south, ita's liquor is safe.

Now to get back to that sleeping place.

edit2: Okay, I posted before I checked for actual news. I am a sad, sad creature. Or, you know, just a Buffista.
