I don't need to keep working today, do I??
Dear me, no. Surf the net and flit about. That's about all I've done all week. Of course, my coworker keeps calling me "Lame Duck" because I'm almost outta here! (Only 2 full days left!)

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Because the stupid Pope is always trying to tell you what to stupid do.
The funny part is how many Catholics I know who are like, "Pope? What Pope? I must have blanked on you for a second there." Like selective voluntary blindness.

Ann, that's a ferret.
I get nervous whenever I hear people talk about "electability." I've been hearing that argument since '88, and I can't say the nominees have been anything to write home about.
Especially since the 2006 election signaled a clear change. "Me too" is the last thing that's going to work in 2008.
...
OK, maybe it's fairer for me to say that I want to redefine "electability" from the use it's had over the last 20 years. It's been defined as the ability to play safe and avoid rocking the boat. It needs to be the ability to articulate a Democratic Agenda in such a way as to get people's support.

Growing up Catholic (Lite) myself, I was very surprised and amused to hear that. If I'd been more self-possesed then, I would probably have responded with something like "That's really more of an 'on paper' thing. He's less important than you think."

Ann, that's a ferret.
Unless something goes really wrong, I bet Elliot Spitzer, who becomes governor in January, will be able to hold that seat for a good long while.
Fair enough. And I don't think she should start any intraparty battles. I'm thinking more that she should have some executive experience other than being the executive's wife.
Ideally, I'd advise her to hang on to that Senate seat forever. She could be one of the Greats if she plays her cards right. Especially as a Committee Chair.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Dear me, no. Surf the net and flit about.
That's my plan!
Especially because the three days I'm working next week will just be like a bonus -- I've been feeling like this is the end of the working year, but it's not true! I have three days left!!
Bad news about the office move -- Annoying Coworker just promised to come chat with me a LOT. Gee, greeaaattttt. Luckily, she's hardly in the office, and I can look really really busy. Actually, I'm doing that right now!

Psst. Sean's going to hell.

Like Senator Ted. A person could do worse with her life. (on a professional level, at least)

Yeah, if only there were people around her saying that, instead of, "You could go all the way!! (and take me with you....)"

Ever fired your gun in the air and yelled, 'Aaaaaaah?'
I was at the Borders the other day and came across the show Profit. I've heard of it and enjoy Adrian Pasdar on Heroes so I bought it and have already finished it. How did I live for ten years without having seen it? Jim Proft is so creepily sexy.
