Just call me "Siouxsie Shunshine".

Come work Halloween for me, you can play with power tools and I'm sure I can hook you up with the guys who do pyro for the stunt shows.

Me! Me! Pick me!!!

Our wings are not tired.

x-posted with Bitches - Public alert: Just don't listen to NPR this morning. You don't need to hear how awesome and inspiring Palin is. Trust me on this.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Both Andrew Sullivan and Crooks & Liars wrote up "condensed effusive praise" in advance of last night because that's really all we're going to hear, unless Palin broke into tears and announced she's leaving her husband during the speech.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

Thanks for the heads-up, Laura.

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

Thank you for TDS. Just watched from 9/2 - I LOVE BRIAN WILLIAMS

I sometimes wonder if he just hangs out in the TDS green room every afternoon before taping the news just in case another guest cancels.

I did not listen to Palin last night. The closest I got to reading any news about her speech was catching a glimpse of the NY Post front page on the subway this morning. (Blah blah she's so awesome we wish all politicians could have lots of babies just like herscakes.)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

The A/C is out in my office, possibly related to flooding on a higher floor. It's supposed to be 90 here today. I already woke up with a headache, and this is not helping.

Good times.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

And is that really how right-wingers party? Cause, to get West Baltimore about it "They ain't hitting on nothing."

They probably aren't going to show the endangered species buffet and the homeless person shooting gallery on TV.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Huh: In Relative Terms, Alaska Has Bigger Black Population than GOP Convention.

I am starting to kind of love Gail Collins [link]

"This was shortly after two very prominent Republican commentators got caught trashing Palin’s candidacy when they thought an MSNBC microphone had been turned off. There has been a lot of that going around this year, people. We can do better. In the years to come, let us teach our children that if you can’t say anything nice about somebody, step away from the voice enhancement equipment."

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

Yesterday morning on the radio a caller was complaining that in watching the Republican convention she only saw "two black faces". The host assured her that there were more there - 36 total ... out of 6,000.
