Excellent Dan Savage column on Santorum's defeat: [link]
I'd quote from it, but taking a quote out of context really changes the tone of the piece....
Lorne: Once the word spreads you beat up an innocent old man, well, the truly terrible will think twice before going toe-to-toe with our Avenging Angel. Spike: Yes. The geriatric community will be soiling their nappies when they hear you're on the case. Bravo.

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

CNN is saying Virginia has gone to Webb.
The House and the Senate?
Okay, since it's clearly Christmas, I want a pony, a new job, three months off to work on my writing, a trip to Thailand to climb, to lose 15 lbs, and a new wardrobe.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Bones made me want to go to Vegas and to do naighty things to DB.
Of course, so does looking at linoleum.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
I'd like to echo what Lee said about Bones I forget how pretty bruised and battered can be

Hmm. I got Bones on tape, but I'mwondering if there's any point in watching as I've already seen the Angel episode "The Ring."

'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"
Hee! I didn't get much done last night, but I did get Bones watched. The plot didn't do much for me, but there was plenty of pretty to watch, including Deschanel all glammed up -- she really can look glamorous, though I understand why we rarely see the character that way.
msbelle, my somewhat-limited travel experience indicates that the high-priced hotel rooms go last, so as long as you're prepared to pay more money, there'll be someplace to lay your head.

This is right. (I've taught weighted voting in a couple times before. When it asks for the quota like that, it means "What's the smallest number of votes that one side can get and still have more than the other side?" And yeah, the dummy is 13, and no one has veto power.)
Oh...I see you guys worked it out. YAY! Don't have to change the answer. W00T!
Thanks again for all the help!

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

You could change it if you wanted. "None of these voters deserve veto power. The veto rests in the capable hands of Jack Bauer. WHO ARE YOU VOTING FOR?!?"

I was talking to Deena on the phone yesterday and complaining about all this. I was all, "Now this is a case of when-will-I-ever-use-this-again?! I should write that! I should write that I'm never going to use this again, so I'm not going to do it now.
"Oh, wait. I'm a grade whore. I'll do it now and on the exam, but NEVER AGAIN!"
