'weapon with which to mow down my opressors'

You should call them downpressors. It's what we do.

I probably also meant to spell oppressors correctly.

You're not allowed to go to jail unless you can be out on bail by next Friday.

Cashmere, I just love walking around the streets here in Sukkot, and just notice all of them hiding in back parking lots and roofs and such, each of them a nice little surprise.

I believe he had a few musicians with him, too, who were playing

Oh, during Jewish holidays (and saturdays, too), one is not allowed to play an instrument, so all the dancing is done in rhythm of the songs that are being sang (again, without music) by those who dance.

And the look on his face was utter joy.

Oh, that's lovely.

Is Whedonesque broken for anybody else, or is it just me? I can't see any comments on it.

When they put up the "please don't wet the toilet paper rolls" sign in the bathroom -- lo, they stopped getting randomly wet.

The sign is gone now.

The rolls are getting wet again.

Really wet.

What is wrong with people?

I picked this up somewhere else. It's a passage from Harriet Miers's answers to the Senate questionnaire.

My experience on the City Council helps me understand the interplay between serving on a policy making board and serving as a judge. An example, of this distinction can be seen in a vote of the council to ban flag burning. The Council was free to state its policy position, we were against flag burning. The Supreme Court’s role was to determine whether our Constitution allows such a ban. The City Council was anxious to encourage minority and women-owned businesses, but our processes had to conform to equal protection requirements, as well.

My City Council service and working in economic development activities afforded me with special insight into the importance of a stable, respected, and fair judiciary in which the public can have confidence.

ETA: of course, having said that, I've edited this twice. But how was I supposed to know the italics tag doesn't persist across paragraphs?

ETA: make that three edits.

Hi everyone! Thanks for the birthday wishes. And Happy Birthday, Calli!

Nilly, I'm so glad you are still around. I love your explanation of Jewish traditions and services. I was hoping you could explain to me what it means when someone dies between Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur. That's when my father passed away. I know it's propitious, but I don't really know why.

Yep. Me, too. Suddenly Miers's assessment of Dubya's brilliance is coming into focus.

This is really really gross.
