It gives them being the first party to have a woman and a minority in the VP position.

True. But carrying the millstone of Iraq around her neck, for sure.

I'll probably end up tucking this rumor inside my "indictment of Karl Rove" memory album.

Where would we be without the worry of political speculation? Oh, that's right--I would be catching up on this week's Veronica Mars.

More scary, yet non-rumorly, political stuff:

“He’s tried this two times — it’s failed twice,” House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) says of President Bush’s escalation plan. “I asked him at the White House, ‘Mr. President, why do you think this time it’s going to work?’ And he said, ‘Because I told them it had to.‘” Pelosi reportedly then asked, “Why didn’t you tell them that the other two times?“

I'm sorry!

No, don't be sorry! I meant this about me, not you!

I just like it better when you're not invisible

I don't like it wither! Then again, I don't need font, only looking at the mirror, or even at my hands typing up this font, to know that I'm not. But it doesn't carry all the way across the ocean very well, I'm afraid.

Next time, better day.

Oh, absolutely.

There's such thick fog outside now, that it doesn't seem as if the sun began to shine. An hour ago I couldn't see anything through the window because all was black. Now I can't see anything through the window because all is grey. Like, literally the sidewalk next to my building is invisible. What is the universe doing while most of us sleep? Looking like that?

What is the universe doing while most of us sleep? Looking like that?

It's a gift for those of us missing sleep for some reason or another. Some of the best sunrises I've seen have been when I was sitting up in the wee hours with a baby.

Why did I not know about this when it happened?

Jared Leto is a freak. I see him getting pissed about the insult, but grabbing? A hobbit? Pfah.

Nilly, you're having a Langoliers moment...I always think of that when the fog makes a blank wall. That the world might not exist right through there. That you're walking/driving/flying right over the edge into nothingness.

Okay, Supernatural time, baby!

This is sad (if it's true): RUMORS OF CAT MAFIA SWEEP BERLIN

Residents of Berlin are being advised to lock up their cats amid rumors that they are being stolen and sold to fur traders and vivisectionists by ruthless cat snatchers driving vans with tinted windows.

The city's animal protection society said it has recently been getting calls from people in two districts of southwestern Berlin who think their cats might have been stolen by thieves. "People have noticed vans with dark windows," said Marcel Gäding, spokesman for the society. "One could assume that has something to do with it."

"You see a lot of women walking around town wearing coats with beautiful fur collars. In many cases it's synthetic fur but it's also often cat fur. Many people don't realize what they're wearing around their necks. For all they know it could be their own missing cat," said Gäding.

Huh. I have my doubts. One can assume a lot of things....

Sounds more like an urban myth. Then again, so did Cruella Deville.

That the world might not exist right through there

Oh, I know exactly what you mean.

The funny thing is, the world right in front of my eyes simply doesn't exist, but the world that's all over the world, all these oceans across, is right here at my fingertips.

Unless the fog imagines all of you, of course.

Did you want me to not sleep tonight? I'm going to be pondering the mechanics of that a while.

I got up, I charged the phone, I made dinner with meat in it, I even started watching Supernatural.

I wish I could take more pain medication, but I need to be on my A game at 9am tomorrow. So, no. And I can go back to sleep once it's done.

Did you want me to not sleep tonight?

Oh, no! If I go through a "white night" (almost second in a row), the least that the universe can do is bless you with a good long restful night sleep!
