Our wings are not tired.

Santorum's concession speech was pitch perfect. It was a bit hard to hear with me jumping up and down yelling at the tv and all, but very gracious.

I imagine the suckitude of being a politician's kid is balanced by the perks. Kid's just don't get to chose the life. My kids would no doubt pick a different career path for me too.

Ann, that's a ferret.

lisah, not bad in a geeky sort of way.

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

It was the immediate aftermath of the vote-counting, though. Election night, emotions running high. And they're *kids* -- Santorum has had years as a politician to perfect his game face. Kids are *supposed* be to emotionally unguarded. Or less-guarded than their politician parent.

And they're probably just exhausted.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Kids cry, they get over it. Crying is what they do for a living.

Dude, when that kid is older, she's going to hate her dad for putting her on that stage. I think it's just mean to expose your kids like that. But hey, good publicity right? THE DEMOCRATS MADE MY BABY CRY!

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

I felt bad for his kids because their lives have just been changed radically.

But have they really? Won't he just get a job as a lobbiest/think tank/pundit etc. and stay in the D.C. power circle?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Hopefully, this means she's on the lam from possible felony charges.

lisah, not bad in a geeky sort of way.

oh no. not at all.

I'm still pissed at him for paying some out of towner 1/2 a million dollars to come up with a lame ass slogan ("Baltimore, Get in On it!" what does that even mean) when I'd given him a perfectly great slogan for free (at a bar a couple of years ago): "Baltimore--It's Fucking Awesome!" He claimed to like it at the time anways.

I think brenda's soap opera drama came to my office for a visit. There's a dude on the other side of my cube (at reception) who has apparently been banned from the building; he's arguing with some employees, and the police may have to be called.
