nytimes.com has it.

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

I think paying down debt is the perfect way to spend my "stimulus" package.

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
I am so stoked that the next president of the US (you know, I think he'll win) actually has a command of the English language. I can't tell you how embarassed I am by POTUS every single time he opens his mouth. It's total watch-from-the-hall embarassment.
Seriously, all partisianship aside, have we ever had a president with such a complete lack of understanding of the English language? It's humiliating. I'm not even asking for the eloquence of Obama, here. That's just pretty icing. Just you know, subject/verb agreement. Are republicans/conservatives embarassed by it? I'm not talking about the 30% wingnutters, just regular conservatives. I wonder if they're as embarassed about POTUS as I am about Michael Moore in the "please stop speaking for me" category.

Dude. So now the guy that replaced Spitzer has to give a news conference to say that he had several affairs and slept with at least one state employee while cheating on his wife? Jesus. I mean, the statement isn't so bad, but just the....I can't decide whether I'm more annoyed that no one seems to have a faithful marriage, or that the newsmedia and the public seem to care....

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020

I kinda gotta dig how he's handling it though. The attitude seems to be "It happened, it's between me and my wife and we went to counseling and it's over now and shut up."

I found it kind of refreshing that he and his wife made the statement that they'd both had affairs, thought their marriage was toast, and decided, nope, let's stick it out and make it work.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I just like that their special place is the Days Inn.

Yeah, that's the thing--I like HOW he said it, and that's the part of me that's leaning towards being annoyed that the media and the public give a shit and feel the need to know this stuff.
On the other hand, there's a part of me that's like "dangit, even the blind guy is getting more action than I am!"
