Who wants to bring up something you just want everyone to forget?
Yeah, of the seventeen people who even paid any attention the first time!
Don't worry, we're sure to spot Faith first. She's like this cleavagy slut-bomb walking around 'Ooh, check me out, I'm wicked-cool, I'm five-by-five.'

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

WHAT WAS IT?
I've done some reading up on him of late and have thought he's one of the best and unlikeliest candidates.

He said he admired a Supreme Court justice appointed by Kennedy (Whizzer White??), who turns out to have been against Roe and all kinds of other liberal things.
Edit: Yes, "Whizzer" is correct. [link]
I'm super fascinated by that phenomenon, actually -- presidents appointing justices who end up going against what the president would have gone for. I wonder if that will happen anymore.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
The SO & I were talking about this. He voted for him in the last election and I didn't. We both criticized him in the past 'cause he's such a schmooze. But we've independently come to the conclusion that his policies are sound, his communication is excellent, and we really like how he's comported himself in this campaign. Part of the problem we were seeing earlier is that he's always running for President, and therefore wants everyone to love him.
But we got to thinking about it and I think the underlying personality of what I'm calling schmooze is diplomacy. And damned if we don't need a diplomat right now. He's experienced in foreign policy; he's experienced in energy. He's intimately familiar with the immigration issues in a way that no northern candidate is going to be.
In the end? We like Richardson. We think people should vote for him.
eta: We're both registered independent, so we have no say in the primaries, but that's our opinion.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Hooray for kidlet picspam! That last one of Gavin is beautiful.

Love the reflection in the Gavin + sea turtle picture. Very cool. Looks like fun, Allyson!

I got Noah a Red Sox t shirt and Gracie a Curious George Goes to the New England Aquarium book!
SO CUTE!
Sorry, now that you've got kids, they get all the crappy souvenirs.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Does "neave" rhyme with "leave"?

I think it will. The combination of lifetime appointments and the inherent arrogance of judges might be the only thing between the U.S. and a total melt-down of the seperation of powers.
