The Mayor ,'End of Days'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
My parents talk like they're going to die any day now. This is probably partially to encourage us to breed, but we're old too. And stubborn. And relentlessly unpartnerable.
It's a shame. It's a good line of genes, I swear. As long as I can find some way to neutralise the migraine stuff.
I firmly believe my parents' genes and philosophy should be continued. Which is why I'm so glad my SIL and brother overcome all forms of birth control! I don't have to do shit and get to play with wee ones.
Considering the alcoholism and the mental illness that runs in the family, you'd have thought my parents would have been less eager to have grandchildren. Not so.
I can only watch my kids and hope we at least skipped some of the crazier alleles.
Some of my Wire-watching bunkies already passed on Madam Speaker's connection to the City that Bleeds, Hecubus. Still an awesome story, though
My favorite part is that as a kid she kept her Dad's ledger of political favors. He marked ever favor given and every favor owed in a giant ledger. That'll teach you a thing or two about politics. Everybody's all "SF liberal" but she's a hard hitting East Coast machine politics vet, Italian Catholic. She rode hard on the Dems to toe the line on voting (88%!) and in a race that depended on propriety ousted Jefferson from a key post when he was caught dirty.
I really wish I knew why there was 15 minutes of furious car honking outside my building, followed by the arrival of four (!) fire trucks and two command vehicles that left only ten minutes later. This is shit I need to know!
There really should be a google for that.

Baltimore press is all "Another Alessandro!" Seriously, she is EC machine and manipulation. She's SF liberal the way I'm east coast liberal. Which is to say, not. She has serious old school game, and I hope she uses it. Well, not the old school corruption part, anyway.
Is that really Bill Nye, the Science Guy on Numb3rs?!
Also, no, I really have no weekend life.
I think so -- I had heard a while back that he was going to guest. He's on faculty - maybe he will recur!
It is, and wow are his line deliveries flat.
