A Minnesota judge has denied Sen. Larry Craig's request to withdraw his guilty plea to a disorderly conduct charge stemming from his arrest in an airport men's room sex sting.
In a 27-page order, Judge Charles Porter found Craig had entered the guilty plea "accurately, voluntarily and intelligently" and it was too late to withdraw his admission.

So I guess he's gonna resign now, huh? Or, um, not....
I wish he wouldn't resign.
See, because THAT would be because he's gay.
paperdol, I think Neave might be a version of the Irish name Niamh (which is hella common over here - I know three), which is pronounced Neave. And Niamh-ey is a common nickname for people named Niamh as well, oddly.
Bussed home for lunch. I feel very not LA right now.
Just before I left the cafe where I had lunch, I could suddenly smell the aroma of chocolate chip cookies just out of the oven. Bastards! Of course I bought one, but I did point out that was unfair marketing....

I love that name. So pretty. And it's sort of a gentle two syllabels, right?
My niece due in Jan. is to be called Esther after our grandmother. You don't hear of girls being called that much these days. My mom says she knows several Queen Esthers who are all older black ladies. I love that "Queen" is right in the name.
Esther is my mother's name!
Timelies all!
Am home after my dentist appointment. Need a crown on one of my fillings. Oh, joy.
Esther is my mother's name!
Even without the "Queen" attached it's pretty regal.
If my nephew who is due about a month before niece is given the name that's the front runner right now (Evan Matthew) he and niece will have the same initials (her's will be Mary).
And it's sort of a gentle two syllabels, right?
It's pronounced two different ways, one one syllable - Neave, and one two syllables, Nee-uv. I know one one Niamh who likes it one way, and one who likes it the other.
