Well, DeLay won the primary, and he's on the ballot. So, according to what I've read (but can't find, so I can't link), his plan is to declare his DC area pad (in Alexandria, VA) as his legal residence -- which would make him ineligible to run for Congress in TX.
Inara: So. Would you like to lecture me on the wickedness of my ways? Book: I brought you some supper, but if you'd prefer a lecture, I've a few very catchy ones prepped. Sin and hellfire... one has lepers.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Frail my heart apart and play me a little Shady Grove
I was skimming, saw the "resigning immediately" reference in DX's post, and immediately thought he was quoting shrift. I was quite delighted with the idea of her leaving her asshats in the lurch, but the demise of DeLay will do.
That'll do, pig. That'll do.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I am very tired. Plus, gravity is extra-strong today, which makes it that much harder to sit up and hold my head up.
Also, I did not bring an iPod today and am earwormed with "Afternoon Delight."

And now I'm doing nothing, in an effort to avoid doing my own work.
People are flailing and screaming for stuff, work is piling up, coworker still out on vacation, and plus I have a sinus headache that's trying to turn into a migraine.
And I'm, like, out of here in two weeks, so.

Ahahaha, and they want me to stay on until the 21st. At this point, I don't think that would a good idea, because I'll be climbing a clocktower.

So, indeed. I assume you've already calculated exactly how many seconds, minutes and hours you have left? And are counting them down? Because that might help the headache. And the desire to kill. But then again, killing usually sates the desire to kill too. Not that I would ever promote that kind of thing.

Dude, no. If you stayed until the 21st, then on the 19th, they'd want you to stay until the 28th. And the next thing you know, it's a decade later and you are still quitting but there!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I think it's unclear what will happen with Delay's spot on the November ballot -- it may be too late to get someone else on there? Although I haven't read any articles today, so maybe they've figured it out by now.
Various sorts of holy crap! to Leise and katefate.
I cannot stop sneezing. Also, I forgot why I never have cereal for breakfast until just now -- yay racing heart. Stupid sugar.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
and they want me to stay on until the 21st.
You, of course, are sorry to disappoint them, but you have so much to do, getting ready for the move.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
Plus, gravity is extra-strong today, which makes it that much harder to sit up and hold my head up.
Is this just a citywide thing, or is it all over? I'm def. feeling it here.
