Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

What. Teppy. Said.

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

That Barak Abercrombie Obama is kind of a dick, you gotta admit.

I really hope this distancing from the harpee wingnut crowd works well for McCain. I really really do. It will go a long way to improving the discourse if he can prove them irrelevant to success for conservatives, most of whom I am sure don't want Coulter or Cunningham speaking for them, any more than I want Michael Moore speaking for me.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

That Barak Abercrombie Obama is kind of a dick, you gotta admit.

But Barak "Chubby" Vern Obama -- he's SMOOV.

The lead for the Buckley obit in the NY Times.

William F. Buckley Jr., who marshaled polysyllabic exuberance, famously arched eyebrows and a refined, perspicacious mind to elevate conservatism to the center of American political discourse, died Wednesday at his home in Stamford, Conn.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

I prefer Barak "Barry" Zedediah Obama, myself. Very nice man. Always with the smile.

Sweet.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

The lead for the Buckley obit in the NY Times.

That's pretty much brilliant.

I've arranged my life so I can take pub. trans. to everything if I so choose - which translates into radically higher living expenses, what with the living in SF, but it's nice. I took a cable car 3 times yesterday. Whee!

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Part of why I want to move is that, while my house is directly on a busline, it's directly on a route notorious for gropers and people who light up the crack pipe in the back of the bus.

Plus it's one of those routes that takes freaking forever.

But mostly? It's the groper/crackpipe issue that has me avoiding that route whenever possible. (I do half my commute in the car, and then connect with the bus. It works. And avoids the crackpipes.)

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

In the war of words over Iraq, Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison (R-Texas) may want this one back.

Speaking about a Democratic proposal to force Iraq troop withdrawal within 120 days, Hutchison said Tuesday that such a proposal would "put a bullet right in the hearts of our troops who are there."

Yeah, because bringing our troops home is the same as shooting them though the heart. As opposed to leaving them in Iraq, which is the same snuggling them with warm puppies.
