I'm almost afraid to go to sleep tonight; I'm afraid I'll wake up up and this will all have been a dream.
Did someone get a power center or did someone smash one?
Let him do his thing, and then you get him out. No messing with him for laughs.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
I thought that was Lamont, and for a second, thought it was a joke.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
I felt sorry for Santorum's kids, too. They were having such a hard time trying to be all stoic, and they just couldn't hold it together.
I thought his concession speech was gracious, I'll say that much. But I also think he shouldn't have brought his kids out like that.

I thought Santorum's concession speech was pretty gracious.

I'm also ridiculously fond of this picture of the Santorum family: [link]

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I watched it last night, and also felt bad for the kids (one of his sons was crying, too). Not bad enough to want their dad in office, mind you, but bad because they're years away from understanding why their dad lost or realizing how fucked-up their parents' ideology is.
Yeah, this.
Half of my department is out sick, but I wish I had taken the day off, too -- between the fact that I can't stop reading news/blogs/here, and the torrential diagonal rain outside, it is not a good day to be at work.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
Eh, I think I'm ambivalent, I mean sure it sucks for your dad not to be in office anymore, but you're not going to starve while he's out of work. Also, have your parents taught you nothing about losing (which now that I remember some Republicans' sense of entitlement, prolly not)? Happens. Sucks. But it happens.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
Santorum's nuts, but I'll give him this, so far as I can tell he's not a hypocrite.
I took the time out from an ultra-busy workday to come in here and say WOOHOO about the Rumsfeld news.

I'm torn between being a terrible person for laughing at the "No, you can't have a pony" picture, and feeling terribly sorry for those kids. Especially for those horrible outfits they're wearing.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Ok - accidental or intentional - Loving on Santorum's son right now.
