I'm rethinking our fireworks plans tonight - it's supposed to rain around 6, so the ground will be soggy at the park. And it's supposed to be cloudy, so not great for viewing. Hrm.
I've got two words that are going to make all the pain go away. Miniature Golf.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Jesse Helms has died. I still think of him as the evillest man in politics.
Don't let the mortal coil hit you in the ass on your way out.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I like that Carey doesn't have to do the show, he just does it because he enjoys it.
He was a panelist on Wait Wait Don't Tell Me recently, and it was totally that -- he seemed to be having a great time.

I thought we were going to have to wait for him to ascend.

Am now imagining Jesse Helms as a panelist on Wait Wait Don't Tell Me, and Drew Carey ascending.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Holy Moses! I just woke up. I wasup earlier to feed the cat and pee, and I fell back asleep. I am still sleepy.
Throw in starting 3 loads of laundry, and Sophia stole my morning.
Happy July 4th, from the Muppets!
Love!

Having met Helms on more than one occasion I have to say the thing that made him evil is that he was actually extremely personable and charming. I've even seen him topless!

I, too, read that as Jesse Helms had been on Wait Wait Don't Tell Me, and was a little shocked. Or a lot shocked.
You know, it's not that I don't believe that a FtM could be a good parent -- it's that I have all kinds of skeevy reservations about a publicity-seeking FtM.
Yeah, I'm a little skeeved about it too. Cause yes, they got a lot of shit from people. But...y'know, that's gonna happen. Every FtM I know gets shit in a gyno's office when they go in for stuff, if they still have their reproductive organs. Or if they go in to get them checked out before getting them taken out. OMG, the funny-ass shit a friend of mine went through in the hospital when he was getting a hysterectomy while he had a full beard? PRICELESS!! But also a little dangerous. But not surprising at all, either. And in these days when people get the wrong LEG chopped off sometimes, it should not surprise anyone that people go "Wait, this guy is the one getting a uterus taken out, what??"
