Kat:
one thing that strikes me in reading this convo is how the word LIBERAL has been demonized through connotation.
Did anyone hear the NPR piece on just this? They talked about how in the 60s, Nixon talked about being a liberal himself.
Liberal is a great word. Shares a root with liberty and freedom. If we're afraid to say, "I'm for freedom" then we're fucked as a country.
JZ: My TiVo is sneering at me. After spending TWO HOURS after work trying to make the TiVo, VCR, TV and cable box speak to one another, I give up. We're gonna end up drowning in episodes of Teen Titans, and I'm never gonna be able to save one damn minute of Jon Stewart.

Morning shift in Natter:
Sue: Though I claim tiredness every morning, I can assure that today I am more tired than before. In a way, it's the new and improved tired. "Now with more Tired!"
And if that paragraph doesn't convince you that I need more sleep, nothing will.
From the wilds of Natter:
Tommyrot: Help wanted: Court jester.
Jessica: I saw that earlier today. I was thinking we could send Dubya.
Vortex: Jessica, they want a court jester, not a village idiot.
Gudanov: Sounds like the Illinois Republicans are trying to being in Alan Keys from Maryland to run against OBama. Can they really not find a warm body to throw into the race that is actually from Illinois?
Deena in Bitches:
I thought the toilet acquarium was very cool, and then remembered that when I first got our fish there were six of them, and three of them murdered the other three... and I just don't think I could handle that kind of drama while I'm on the toilet.
And more commentary on the Assquarium from Raquel:
My one concern with the toilet aqaurium is that it's like forcing the fish to live at the cemetery. I haven't had to give a fish a "burial at sea" since my butterfly koi ate too much and blew up at 2:30 am, but hey, no other fish needed to see that
Sean explains it all in F2F:
We in California have a very casual relationship with rules.
Nora Dierdre: I swear, if I hear the phrase, "Men are stupid but women are crazy" one more time... I'm gonna do something crazy. Or stupid, just to thwart the paradigm.
In Natter:
Sean: TIM HORTON'S IS PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Calli: Oh, good. Low carb then.
