“Not dead yet!”
My house smells sooooo yummy right now. I've got chili going on the stove.
I have a baguette and sour cream and Mexican cheeses and now, I'm just sitting and waiting for 4:15 to arrive, so I can sit back with a bowl of chili and hopefully watch a better football game than the one last night.

Maureen Dowd asked Aaron Sorkin what Jed Bartlett would have to say to Barack Obama.
This is the brilliant result. It's almost enough to make me not loathe MoDo. But not really.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
Happy birthday, smonster!!!
Happy birthday, Sophia!!!!
Kathy, new job? Is this in addition to the other 2 you already had or a replacement of one of those?

It's my third job! A co-worker at my office job called me on Wednesday to ask if I'd like to pick up a few hours on Sundays working the front desk at her husband's law firm. They have recently expanded their weekend hours to Sundays (he's Orthodox Jew, so they're closed on Saturday) since their specialty is bankruptcy law, but didn't have anyone to greet, hand out paperwork, and check voice mail. They're paying me $10 an hour for 3-4 hours once a week, and it's just over in Arlington Hts., so pretty close to my apartment.
Her husband seems to be a really nice guy, and it's nice and quiet here, so this should work out pretty well!

That really IS brilliant. The "get angrier" part is, really, exactly what Obama needs to do, and I don't understand why he's sitting on his ass and NOT DOING IT.

Because black men aren't allowed to get angry in this culture. It's threatening. The same way (but different) that women aren't allowed to get angry. We're perceived as shrill, over-emotional, and irrational when we're angry; black men are perceived as animalistic and prone to violence.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
What Suela said.
Getting angry's the last thing Barack Obama needs to do right now, and he seems to know that. Passionate, hell yes. Angry? Hell no.
