Spike's Bitches 27: I'm Embarrassed for Our Kind.  

[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.

Yet the very process of application to select colleges undermines both the goal of education and the inherent strengths of young people. "It makes kids sneaky," says Anderegg. Bending rules and calling in favors to give one's kid a competitive edge is morally corrosive.

Got a point there. Though not what I'd call a new problem.

Thanks for the birthday wishes and ~ma, gang! I'm still kind of fuzzy-headed, but I suspect that is due more to the 4 hours of sleep I got last night instead of the drugs.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

You know what, never mind. It was a cheap shot about NCLB, but it came out wrong. This is not the post you're looking for. Move along.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

Happy Birthday, Jilli!

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Happy birthday Jilli!

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

Happy birthday, Jilli! So glad you're home and groggy but okay!

I get to spend the evening lolling about, eating mac n' cheese from Whole Foods, and watching my new birthday DVD of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Not quite the whirlwind celebrations of previous years, but I'm not complaining.

ION, Trinian (the Dumbest Cat in the Universe) has mysteriously turned into a lap cat. I don't know if it's that she misses Beastie, or just that her little brain is stuck in an "Oooh, people!" setting.
