Actually, I was thinking it would be sort of like a pet. You know, we could...we could name her Trixie, or Miss Kitty Fantastico, or something.

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

I'm firmly with Steph in the politics camp. The truth is we can't talk about who would make a good president because so much of what rides on that is circumstances and responses to those circumstances. As it pertains to Obama and Clinton, they are extremely similar. Who woudl be the better president? It's hard to tell as neither has really had that sort of Executive leadership experience.

I am irked when she cites her first lady stuff as experience. Actually I'm irked when she says she has experience at all. Her on-the-job experience in elected office is senator. And she's had that for slightly longer than Obama. I am also irked at the "vote for Clinton and you get two-for-one" because THAT does play into both the fears for the Right which does change the debate that is possible. Also, when she is asked about him and his role she says "Well I'm the one here." yet the up-playing of his role by the campaign grates.

The exemption is only for those making under 300K.

And I believe it's 300K on 1099s, not including work that you would get a W2 for.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Oh, Kat, I HATE that! Our dogs always barked as soon as the mail carrier stepped on the porch every day so it was a giant pain in the ass when the kids were napping.

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

After last night's MythBusters, where they tested whether or not an airplane on a conveyor belt can take off, (and it did) there are still lots and lots of people who are vehemently arguing the opposite, even after MythBusters showed it happening, and carefully explained why. I'm amazed at the length people can go to deny something they saw with their own eyes.

It kind of puts the evolution deniers in a new perspective for me.
