How many do you get a year? And how hard is it to track down fresh Leprechaun?

Whole Foods has it. They also have the Scandanavian vegan alternative, Lefse-chaun.

Bag the crypto. Say what is on your mind.

All Physical Therapists are sadists. This is a well known fact. Do not let the chirpy demeanor fool you.

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

Don't say sadist like it's always a bad thing.

Art Crawl!!!

Jesse! I know! One bad thing is that I saw a GA promo last night with Burke cuddling Christina in her hospital bed and I kept waiting and waiting and waiting for it to turn up. But what a good episode. (Meanwhile the promo where Meredeth is all "choose me" to Derek is just aggravating.)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I'm glad I didn't see that promo, Sumi. Phew.

And yet, it was still a very sweet moment.

OK. Let me try that. "Some sadists are not Physical Therapists."

Hey! That is true.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights

one of the options was electoral college, and one person turned in a three-paragraph rant about how the electoral college is completely unfair and undemocratic. Never seen that much profanity on math homework before. He did have the correct answer buried in there, and it amused me enough in the middle of a really long night of grading that I gave him full credit.

A mathy ranter after my own heart!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Hmm... at least one Times reporter had problems wiht Judy Miller and her overreliance on government sources as far back as 2000.

Craig Pyes, a former contract writer for the Times who teamed up with Miller for a series on al Qaeda, complained about her in a December 2000 memo to Times editors and asked that his byline not appear on one piece.

"I'm not willing to work further on this project with Judy Miller," wrote Pyes, who now writes for the Los Angeles Times. He added: "I do not trust her work, her judgment, or her conduct. She is an advocate, and her actions threaten the integrity of the enterprise, and of everyone who works with her. . . . She has turned in a draft of a story of a collective enterprise that is little more than dictation from government sources over several days, filled with unproven assertions and factual inaccuracies," and "tried to stampede it into the paper."

This reporter put his finger on what was wrong with Miller's pre-war WMD reporting.
