Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Sometimes the Onion so very captures the American zeitgeist, it's like they're following me and taking notes.

some characters that were from the Israeli show. I think the Oscar the Grouch type character was named Moshe?
His name is Moishe, and instead of a Grouch, he's an Oofnik, which is an awesome translation.
I don't think I ever saw the "Shalom Sesame" stuff, but on our "Sesame Street" we didn't have Big Bird. We had a hedgehog called Kipi (the Hebrew word for "hedgehog" is "kipod"), and he was adorable. A few years ago they re-designed the puppet, replaced the person operating it, and it's just not the same.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
OK, I definitely remember that hedgehog character in the Shalom Sesame videos. Though I had no clue at the time what kind of animal he was supposed to be.

We always had the American version.
Sunny day...

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
That Onion article is perfect. And my cat didn't get the memo that it's tomorrow, not today, that I have to wake up at 5. Blerg.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
While humans seem programmed to run on a 26-hour day (they've tested this in long-term experiments in caves and stuff), cats run on a 23-hour day. Thus there will always be interspecies friction, especially as it applies to feeding times.

"In the equation E = mc⬧, c⬧ is a pretty big honking number." - Scola
Okay, so Virginia has instituted these ruinous fines for reckless driving (see here), which most of us agree are a pretty dumb idea. But... knowing that that's the law, and knowing that you've been caught doing 89 in a 55 zone, why would you then swear at the judge who's handing you the fine? Is it likely to make anything better?
