In case you were wondering, apparently being convicted of a felony is just barely enough to keep Uncle Ted from being re-elected. AP just called Alaska's senatorial race for Mark Begich, the popular mayor of Anchorage and a smart and cool guy. Whoot!!!!! [link]
The next time you decide to stab me in the back... have the guts to do it to my face.

In the interest of promoting things me-related, here's a short list of guilty pleasure movies I wrote about on The Screengrab, which is Nerve.com's movie blog.
Warning! Nerve is a smut purveyor elsewhere on the site (but rarely on The Screengrab, because that's how we roll: classy), so your work computer may come to believe you are trolling for porn instead of my bad writing. Either can result in job loss.

Remember the Secret Santa Exchange?
If not, then this is a reminder: Anyone interested in exchanging small presents with other Buffistas during the holiday season, email me at my profile address with your Buffista name and a snail-mail location to which people can send your loot.
Please try to email me by November 23. I'll match names and send out notices by November 24, to allow for lots of present buying/making and mailing time.
Your truly,
Tiny Jewish not-Santa

All the Buffista Secret Santa notices have now been sent out. If you didn't get one, or if there are any other problems, email me.
P.S. If you wanted to take part and forgot, don't despair! There will be a Slacker Secret Santa exchange, as well, just like in every year. I'll wait to announce it only after Thanksgiving, though, for a true slacker schedule.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
If 10,000 people donate $1, this family can keep their home. She's got over $2000 since Tuesday night. This could work! If everyone does a little, it adds up to a lot.

I have a post up on the potential for Green Investment in solving global warming and stimulating the economy. Deals a bit with the nuts & bolts of where to spend public money, vs. where to rely on private investment. [link]
