You're a pundit now.

This Wonkette post cracked me up - is that wrong?:

New Lincoln Penny Honors Republican Homosexuals

Now that American Capitalism has completely failed and the U.S. currency is even more worthless, the folks at the U.S. Mint are having some fun by releasing this new Lincoln Penny, which reminds us that all Republicans are terrible closet-case homosexuals having grim bathroom encounters in these Log Cabins on the edge of town, by the interstate rest stop.

Abraham Lincoln was our first gay president. As a social liberal, he thought slavery was “wrong,” so he freed the slaves and attempted to kill all the Southern whites, so America could heal. But many white Southerners survived, including Jesse Helms and George Allen, and that’s why we still have all these problems today, as Trent Lott famously noted.

Lincoln was enjoying his favorite pastime — seeing RENT at a Washington theater — when a wingnut blogger killed him.

Glad you're well, Shir, thanks for reassuring us.

I can't log into the Bank of America website. Grr.

I'm blanking on my logo project for my sister. Grr.

My cheek scar is suddenly pinker than Allyson's wall. Grr.

eta: no grr about Shir checking in, but a general grr for the violence.

Glad to hear you're ok Shir.

Speaking of the financial crisis, I was just thinking maybe I should write a letter to WaMu offering to lend them some money at a low introductory rate of 7.9% APR. increasing to 19% after the first three months

It's sad. I hang out there, a lot. One of my favorite places in J-city, and I planned to be there tonight, but decided going tomorrow night instead this afternoon.

Also, two of the most left-radical meeting places are within a minute walk from there. What's the point to try and hit people who might be in your favor?

I'm glad you're fine Shir, but I'm sorry to hear about the bombing.

And now they're saying on the news the Arab dwellers of the Old City and East Jerusalem (right next to where the attack took place) are finding it really hard to get back to their homes. I hope they'll get back to their homes ASAP, police sealed the area. It's such a flammable area of the city, and the peace within it based on respect, not fear.

I can still hear the sirens. I'm living close to a hospital, and the whole thing was just 10 minutes drive from me.

And channel 2 news just made me sick, shooting the body of the man who did it. God.

I think it's time to stop feeling bad, read Fables and go to bed.

I'm sorry to hear about the bombing

It's not bombing, not anymore (and thank God for that). Now it's running-over attacks.

I'd say it's the new black, but honestly, because of where it happened and my great love to the area, I'm not in the mood.

Edit: according to Ynet.co.il, the target was a group of soldiers. 16 wounded.

I'm glad you're okay, Shir. Fables and bed sounds like a wise plan.
