I'm just, uh, just feeling kinda... truthsome right now. And, uh... life's just too damn short for ifs and maybes.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

On the other hand, there's a year and a half to go for whoever pulls out of Super T on top

?

Brain glitch. I think we'd all be dead by the time another year and a half of this had gone by.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

ooh! catching up!

Cashmere, could you try taping paper over the walls where Owen likes to draw? get a big roll of paper and just run it around at his comfort level?

Kat, loved the magnet! I've seen a "unattended children will be given candy and a puppy" signs. And, yes, unattended children have been a problem - some of the malls have had problems with kids being left in stores to amuse themselves (toy stores, mostly). Also libraries.

And you Californians think you've got problems with a presidential visit? try living in DC! he goes somewhere and the entire section of town closes down. Plus the "checkpoints" near the Capitol ... and periodic road closings for "security" reasons (with no advance warning). On the bright side, any time I'm late to work I can just mutter "motorcade" and people are OK with that.

And "Obama" isn't a black man's name? it's AFRICAN, people!

Great. Some people get to fight cheetahs in squash courts; I am destined to be remembered as the "Gore in '04" girl.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I just kinda kept thinking about all the black people with the names of slaveowners, etc. Like Washington, Jefferson...

Then there are the people who say he's "not really a true African-American because he's not descended from slaves...."

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

"Obama" isn't a black man's name? it's AFRICAN, people!

Yeah, *now* they distinguish between African American, black, and African black. I didn't think I could lose more respect for people, but just about anything involved with race and this election makes me throw up a little in my mouth.

Not black, not black enough, not African American (oh, sweetie, he's LITERALLY that), has a white mother (which my sister pointed out that not that many black voters had realised that, considering).

Should he win, he's going to have an asterisk by his name for one reason or another.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Cashmere, could you try taping paper over the walls where Owen likes to draw? get a big roll of paper and just run it around at his comfort level?

I've ordered this and this for the playroom and we're going to Michaels for a big roll of paper for drawing.
