'Origin'
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.
My impression from the news reports was that the country was still completely locked down.
Me, too. That Red Cross article is from May 11, so it's possible that the Burmese government has gotten all loony since then and is turning away the RC. But if I donate to the RC without designating a recipient country, they can use it however works best.
Thank you guys SO MUCH!!!
I feel honored to join our many Buffistas in the world of non-profit work!
Congratulations Aims!
Re the Obama shirt: The guy who did that is just a class act all the way. His witty, charming, not-at-all-sexist, why-are-y'all-so-humorless? riff on Hillary is even more offensive than the Obama shirt, what with the advocating murder and all, but it's a close call.
Also, the fucking poll crashed my browser. Fuck you, bar and grill guy.
Re the Obama shirt:
Someone said to me the other day (or it might have been a comment in LJ, in which case it was probably a Buffista, and I can't remember who, so I apologize) that they were surprised that I thought race would be a significant issue in this campaign.
All I can do is point to that goddamn t-shirt, without comment.
Yay Aimee!!

I have to say that I got my haircut last Thursday and random people keep going past and complimenting me on it. It's almost insulting - like, I looked so incredibly bad before that strangers are making an effort to come by and say something nice.
If they're strangers, it's no reflection on what you looked like before, right? Just bask in looking so good now.
Honda robot conducts Detroit Symphony to warm response
Honda is going build our future robot overlords. Oh well, at least they will be reliable and sorta cute.
that they were surprised that I thought race would be a significant issue in this campaign.
huh...I don't get this. Race has already been an issue. Race is always an issue in the US.

It seems like it is a subtext in all of the press about Obama's weak support among some white demographics. Though I also think it is very difficult to discern if race is a component there or not.

No, no, that's the past! We're totally over that! Let's all pat ourselves on the back for having moved beyond all that tedious history!
