Buffy ,'Never Leave Me'
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.
I suppose they're not really that different from beef cattle aside from all the romanticizing of "trusted steeds" in Western culture.
That's the thing. Wilbur and Lambchop aside, there are certain cultural lines that don't get crossed. Dogs are PETS. So are cats. Horses are to be ridden, and to save the day, and all that. Weird.
Yeah, I don't want to try it anyway.
I've also lost my appetite for lunch.
I wouldn't eat horse because I have all those romantic attitudes about horses. But I suppose that's no more logical than my niece who won't eat venison because of Bambi. (I always offer to take her share of the chicken-fried venison steak.)
I have a food coma. I am happy to report that it has absolutely nothing to do with horse meat.

I reviewed your book on my blog--did you see it?

Hillary writes a pissy letter: [link]
In an unusual challenge to a Defense Secretary from a sitting Senator, Hillary Clinton has just written a sharply worded letter to Defense Secretary Robert Gates, demanding that he personally account for a Pentagon official's assertion yesterday that Clinton's public questions about the U.S.'s troop withdrawal plans were aiding the enemy.
"I request that you describe whether Under Secretary Edelman's letter accurately characterizes your views as Secretary of Defense," Clinton wrote to Gates, in a reference to Undersecretary of Defense Eric Edelman's criticism of the Senator yesterday.
"I would appreciate the courtesy of a prompt response directly from you," continued Clinton in the letter, which has been obtained by Election Central.

I didn't! Because I am lame like that, and have been very scattered the past few weeks. But I'll go look now!
I still have pictures and squeeing about paperdol's book to post, which I've had for, oh, TEN DAYS NOW.
It's here. It's pretty brief--I think I was in a hurry that day--but I thought it was a fun book and tried to say so.
tommyrot, the language might be a little stronger than average. But it isn't unusual for members of Congress to send that kind of letter.
