Now tagless for your comfort.

Since I live in New York, I don't have to!

NO TAUNTING THE HUNGRY PREGNANT LADY!!!

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

Ever since I put my name on a "Do Not Call" list I haven't gotten many telemarketers. Can't say I miss them much.

Sophia, I think you should lock all parties involved in a small room, with foam rubber cricket bats. The survivor will be let out when s/he tells you where the contract is.

I think the cupcake people are kind of all a bit nutty.

What is even happening?

I want cupcakes, but I don't have any Dutched cocoa and am too lazy to go get some, also, my neck is still a little iffy, and I don't like to drive unnecessarily, and backing out of parking spaces is not my favorite activity.

People should just send me the freaking cupcakes, okay?

See, I'm just here for sarameg to hold up as a "don't".

I'm going to go take a nap and assume that the cupcake fairy will visit my house. I'll set the Dutched cocoa out on the counter just in case.

No, not the consumers of cupcakes. The bakers in that article.

move out and draw fire

that the trouble with the guy is that while he is good at politics, he stinks at governance

The thing is, Bush's "Mandate from the People" wasn't to take care of Americans. It was to kill terrorists. Or Iraqis. Whichever. Brown people, anyway. The body politic almost always selects against a governor and for a politician, and in Bush's case, Americans made it extremely clear they would forego all manner of federal care (see also: national debt, Patriot Act) in order to have a President who would kick some furrin ass.

if foreigners decide to send their little brats / political correctness crap / Kids today are too lazy to learn

You just can't get wound up by someone who uses value-laden phrases like these and then says "I mean no disrespect." They are either liars or stupid. I'm voting liar in this case.

I know that when your ma ... and your pa/uncle/cousin...sent you and your eighteen brothers/nephews/cousins off to be schooled ...they didn't explain how there'd be people who weren't related to you out there in the world.

BWAH!!!!

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

Really, if they just sent all the cupcakes to me, the war would be over. Granted , I would have to share, or I would be dead from cupcake overload, but I think I have a few volunteers. ( I am guessing 300 cupcakes would last about 3 days at the library) ( I swear, I've never seen people eat so much junk food) ( libraries survive on junk food) ( librarians get really sad with out junk food) ( evenrything in () is not really being said - just thought)

Silence means security silence means approval

New York City is in the midst of a cupcake war.

Heh. We have Cupcake Royale, and that's good enough.

In fact, around my office it's between Cupcake Royale and Top Pot Donuts. I'm starting to like Top Pot more than Krispy Kreme. Krispy Kreme doughnuts are cloyingly sweet, where the breadiness of the Top Pot doughnut dances in harmony with the sweetness of the glaze.
