I'm think Leif might grow up to be a lobbyist.
For the anarchy party.
Looks like civilization finally caught up with us.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Scientists think they are about to be able to detect gravity waves: [link]
No one has been able to observe and record a wave because of the fractional changes involved. Even the violent disruption of a super-dense astronomical bodies, such as a black hole, is thought to produce ripples that are equivalent to the distance between the Earth and the Moon changing by one 100 billionth of the width of the thickest human hair.
OTOH, dogs can sense gravity waves.
(In case no one's noticed, I occasionally feel the need to make up scientific "facts.")

Gud, I'm a skipper asking for probably-skipped information, but still: what were your kids' costumes for Halloween? And, more specifically, there were pictures, right?

Here are pictures of the Halloween costumes:

Sen. Barack Obama's debut on "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart" has been foiled. The culprit: official Senate business. Obama was to appear on the program in New York on Monday. But spokesman Robert Gibbs said Sunday that Obama had to cancel so he could be in Washington to vote on a defense spending bill.
I was so looking forward to that....

Well, drat. I actually had my ducks rowed for taping and all. Oh well.

Oh, they're so adorable, both of them! I love Leif's "guess what I'm about to do next" smile, and your daughter looks so grown-up and beautiful in the pictures with the dogs. Thanks for posting those!

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Ellen briefly popped up in the VM thread a couple weeks ago!
