The problem is that those of us who are outraged are so busy being outraged about all the other bullshit!

Um... why is there not more outrage?

Oh, there's outrage. It's just muted because it's been going on for so long.

I loved the wacky WAT.

HDT and Malone doing Rock, Paper, Scissors (We used to call this jon ken pon) to see who got to talk down Mrs. Reynolds was so funny.

Also, you pockets haters are CRAZY!!

is so out of it she doesn't know who James Blunt is

British singer of what, some years ago, would have been called "soft rock." Became a big star worldwide on the strength of "You're Beautiful," which is a great single. (How big? "You're Beautiful" went to #1 in the U.S. Last time anyone from the U.K. did that, it was Elton John mourning Princess Di.)

Too soon to tell whether he's "flavor of the month" or "lasting star." But I can't say I'm as impressed with the other songs I've heard off the CD.

I'm on outrage overload. And with all due respect to Christians here, the Christian Right rather feels like an unstopable juggernaut to me now. Over the last five or six years, they've successfully eroded so much of this governement, and of the ability for any opposition to do anything about them, that I don't know what to do, or how to stop it.

It's soured me on Christianity so bad, I pretty much have to just not talk about it with people I care about, lest it cause too much of a rift in our relationship.

It's funny/ironic/sad that I've more than once had the conversation where the person I was talking to swapped "Americans" for "Christianity" in the above sentiment. With the undertone that I was doing something wrong for being among the enemy.

I don't let them not have the conversation though, because it's important to me.

I interrupt your outrage for a nephew report.

Yesterday I got him a little people farmhouse with a cow, duck, chicken, horse, pig, and sheep (and he knows what they all say, yes he does. The sheep goes baaaaa).

Also purchased many books on Amazon for his birthday. Including Blueberries for Sal.

This is the last day I get to play with him, I'm going back to LA tomorrow. Heartbroken.

No more, "Auntie! Read book!"

Broken.

There's a christian left too and lots of christian liberals. However, they are not politically important.

I like James Blunt -- I saw him on the Today Show and he's cute and snarky.

James Blunt (hail to thee, oh Bluntish one; we pledge our fealty to you and your heirs, apparently) gets a namecheck in this blog commentary on the latest set of Dewey subcategory numbers:

Is that sufficiently tortous reasoning for a link post?
