but why do the people on Today have to pretend it's not happening now?
That's like pretending the world isn't round.
ION, I have to go to work, but there's a comfy kitty on my lap who won't be happy about that....
Honestly, you meet the most appalling sort of people....

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Morning, Sue! [Edit: and tommy!]
why do the people on Today have to pretend it's not happening now?
I remember, as a very little girl, waking up way early in the not-yet-morning to watch - I think it was the closing ceremonies of the Olympic games held in LA? And of course, while the sun was setting there, it was rising here. And I remember the awe of looking up from the tv screen to the window and seeing the sky, which was black just a few minutes before, and was turning lighter and gray-er and blu-er, and how it hit me that it's the same sun - that the same sun setting *there*, is rising *here*. I think it was the first time I didn't just know, but actually realized, that the world was round.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh, that's fantastic.

I am getting sucked in by the opening ceremonies. I need to leave the house.

Hmm, can you have a special file in which you can write all the things you *want* to tell him, but restrain yourself?
Or you could write them here, where we can enjoy the snark.
Apparently invisible aliens landed in the back yard at about 4 a.m. and the dog had to go out and valiantly defend the earth. He was very excited about it. I am very sleepy this morning.

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

Is that what that was? They got up our way by around 6, but we thought the dog was just Having Opinions. He's in agreement with the president that people everywhere should be allowed to Express their Opinions. Also, like the president, he's kinda dotty and rambly.
