I don't have Presidents' Day off, but I don't know anyone else who does, either. It isn't a day for envy, but for coming home and then remembering "oh, right, no new Netflix because there's no mail today."
I hate to break it to you, oh impotent one, but you're not the big bad anymore, you're not even the kind of naughty.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
Jesse Helms has died. I still think of him as the evillest man in politics.
Well, that's only because he was.
I turned on the tv in the middle of a post-Helms retrospective, and they didn't once utter the phrase "racist, homophobic son of a bitch," which strikes me as an incomplete report. I kept watching for a while, because at first I thought it was an announcement that he was reentering politics, and I was kind of frozen in horror. Then they put up life dates. Gosh, he took a long time to ascend.

One of the votes most satisfying to cast was against Helms. Not that it did any good.
Yeah, but the "I'm from North Carolina and I don't support Jesse Helms" bumper stickers were a classic.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Sentence from a NY Times article:
The challenges exist even for students whose academic progress has come relatively easier.
That should be "more easily," shouldn't it? Because it's an adverb, modifying "has come"?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Also, the Bauer BBQ on Guiding Light sucked. It was not even at the Bauers!
Are there even Bauers left??
I'm getting ready to go to my friend's for food and fireworks, but I just realized I'll be super early if I go now. So I'm dawdling a little...

Speaking of politicians on Wait Wait Don't Tell Me, anyone remember when Orrin Hatch was on and said, "I'm a huge athletic supporter..."?

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
Rick is there, but he did not want to have the BBQ because he was sad that Beth broke up with him for Alan. He actually talked to his dad on the phone and said he felt stupid having the BBQ when he was the only Bauer. They had it and Josh and Cassie's, but there was no Reva there.
