To commemorate a past event, you kill and eat an animal. It's a ritual sacrifice, with pie.

Obama did not say that middle class = less than $75K. He said this:
And one of the centerpieces of my economic plan would be to say that we are going to offset the payroll tax, the most regressive of our taxes, so that families who are earning -- who are middle-income individuals making $75,000 a year or less, that they would get a tax break so that families would see up to a thousand dollars worth of relief.
And then the next question clarified that he seems to basically agree with Clinton's defiinition:
MR. GIBSON: Senator Obama, you both have now just taken this pledge [not to raise taxes] on people under $250,000 and 200-and-what, 250,000?
SENATOR OBAMA: Well, it depends on how you calculate it. But it would be between 200 and 250,000.

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

Actually, that's what I get for quoting a blogger I'd never heard of before....

Now tagless for your comfort.
I know someone that just got an N95 for FREE and he's been rubbing it in. I am mocking him with the Buddist phone.

as far as I know which I don't really know anything. And it looks like big boss is gone for the day.
She was like a QA/tester person. She also did some work for me. kind of shitty work, frankly, but I'm not her boss so... And she seemed to be late a lot. I thought they were helping her pay for school or something though which, yikes. I don't really know the deal. But now I'm all anxious!!!

So, I volunteered to help man the phone lines. Even though the building has been re-opened that the police have deemed the threat non-creditable.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Scary, sumi.
From a really long time ago:
Jessica, that's a great martini glass. Not $85 great, but great nevertheless.
Not even $42.50 great. Cause it's a set of two. If it had been a set of four, I would have thought about it.
How about $32.50 great? Because that's the cost /glass to non-members.
Found out that I have two months more of working here than I'd formerly thought. So I will still probably need to find a new gig, but I can not obsess about it right now, and not panic about spending money that honestly does need to be spent.
