Happy birthday, ita! I'm taking your recent ER visit with the competent people who did right by you as a good omen for the year. Because you're long overdue.
Cephalopod, schmephalopod. I want my Left Behind Friday.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

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

But that usually doesn't arrive until the afternoon, so it's sorta' like a bonus for getting through most of Friday. The Friday Cephalopod sets the tone for the whole day....
And then there's Friday Cat Blogging. Inkblot and Domino....

Happy birthday ita!!!
Well, it makes it harder, on a variety of levels. I mean, do we go for the drastic credit counseling option that takes away our credit cards and, I believe, leaves a permanent demerit on our financial history?
Please do not do credit counseling. Someone said upthread, it's not that they are crooks, it's that you can do it on your own and it will be less work in the end. I have a credit guide somewhere I can send to you if you'd like, and offer any help I can. I've just seen far too many people get into credit counseling and it takes them much longer to repair it.
Y'all can do this.

Punishingly Intricate
I guess my new nephew, Evan Matthew born early this morning in NC, shares a birthday with ita. Sweet! Happy birthday, ita!!! I hope this year is completely awesome for you!!!
I think I'm going to try to get through today without complaining once. I think I'm good so far. Of course I haven't really spoken to anyone out loud...except my dad and I didn't complain to him! which is quite an accomplishment for me!

Coding and Sleeping
I found out about Iowa this morning. That is to say, the primary results, not that the state exists. Anyhow, I've warmed up a bit to Obama so that's OK with me. I'm not much of a Huckabee fan, I'm planning to vote for McCain in the Missouri primary.
I think the Missouri primary matters a bit as part of a bigger block of states. At least it matters in the general election. If I lived in Kansas, I would just be a spectator in presidential elections.

On Fox News last night....
It was hilarious. They had no idea what to do. Rush Limbaugh was on and he was clearly annoyed that the Republicans did not vote the way that the establishment wanted. It was watching the machine Rove built begin to crumble. They didn't know what to do about Huckabee, they didn't know what to do about Paul, and they really didn't know what to do about the fact that they might not have Hillary to attack come November. It was beautiful.

I think it's more about watching their right-wing evangelical chickens come home to roost, so to speak. They energized and politicized this base for their own purposes, and suddenly the base is doing what the establishment has been pretending to do for years.
I do wish I'd thought to turn on Fox last night though.

What do people think of proportional representation in the States? I was thinking yesterday that if I only had an either/or choice I don't know what I'd do.
