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!
Don't worry, I'm not gonna start any sword fights. I'm over that phase.

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.
Ann Coulter's site is giving me a "Cannot find server"
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.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

And if kids operated on utter rationality, maybe they would have thought that and not gotten all weepy before the entire country.
Silly kids, reacting like....kids.

Maybe he's saving it to use for the state? What the hell is the state motto, anyway?

Ooh. Bummer. Wonder what the guy did? Is he an ex-employee?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I don't see where anyone was saying that the kids reacted wrongly. My personal point is that I don't feel sorry for them. Except for the part where America got to watch them react. Bring your kids up for acceptance speeches, people. Leave them be for the sad stuff.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Maybe he's like the guy who got fired at our office for running a porn site after hours.
