Nomnomnom. Now I'm hangry.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I would much rather see Clinton as a justice or back in the Senate where I think she'll be a real power player than sidelined as Veep. (This is one of the things that pushed me towards Obama, actually - I think she'd be a kick-ass Majority Leader.)
Yep. I've felt all along that her strengths are put to better use in the Senate. Although Veep does not necessarily mean sidelined. Gore accomplished a lot, though it wasn't glamorous, headline-grabbing stuff. I still think we're better off with Hillary in the Senate.
Happy Birthday Glamcookie!

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
I saw a Smart car parked on the street yesterday. It was adorable.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
surprising to exactly no one, I really want a glittery pink Smart Cat (possibly with all over multi-color stripes or polka dots). You know, if I had a place to park it and could afford insurance, never mind the car itself.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Tom! Get into the technology thread and tell me why ACID is overrated! I'm all pent up with anticipation over here.

Clinton is a surprisingly good legislator, but she's about as qualified to be a judge as Harriet Miers.

ACID isn't overrated, it's just expensive. If you can redefine your problem so that it doesn't require it, then you'll save yourself a whole lot of trouble in the long term. The perfect is the enemy of the good.

There have been plenty of Supreme Court justices who didn't come from judicial backgrounds, most notably Earl Warren, a Governor and William Taft, a President.

I've someone driving one of those smart cars around work. The driver was a very goofy looking individual (plus BOW TIE) and him + that car was just...doubletake time.
