I loved Jon Stewart offhandedly mentioning this week that Popes in general are kind of nice -- "ever since they stopped having their own armies" which is totally true.

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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Ginger, I totally thought you were kidding, until they just said Shepard I on the TV!

not your mom's socks.
Bill Clinton and Michele Obama need to stop robo-calling me now. I did amuse DH with some fairly racy conversation with Bill. Not that he responded. but you know. Men.
We did a good deed last night & steered an Obama canvaser from Colorado to the really good veg/vegan restaurant up the street; then, when we saw him 2 hours later, headed in the totally wrong direction, got him pointed towards the place he was staying again.
Tuesday cannot come too soon.
Meara, you're a great zombie! vw - couldn't see the quilt (wah), but what a thoughtful gift.

Oh huh -- I can't seem to get any of the HD channels. I swear to god, I am drowning in first-world problems this week.

Yay painting Allyson!
And oh fuck. Just got an update from my friend. Her stepson ran away this morning. Last call originated from the number of a known dealer. Local police can't do anything without a warrant, but friend has connections who can do a trace at which point the locals can act, based on parent-provided info. Not sure of the legality of all that, but whatever. Not sure what they should do once (!) they get him home. He's angry at the world, and has 3 convenient targets. And he's working them. I'd be angry at him, but..I'm not. Angry he's doing this, sure. But. He's a hurting kid, a kid who has been hurt, making a fuckload of bad decisions but I'm not prepared to see him as iredeemable. Damnit.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Is anyone else watching this TV movie with Marlee Matlin? They just cut in for a weather report, and I missed what seemed like a pretty critical scene.

I hate Hallmark. They totally make me cry.

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
