Congratulations to the class of 1999. You all proved more or less adequate.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

No, this isn't a basketball poll

Go Big 12!

Re: the SNL skit referenced above -- what REALLY gets me are the parts that are word-for-word from Palin's actual answers.

I just watched the whole Couric interview. I doubt SNL could have written anything more absurd than Palin's real answers. So why not just quote her directly? And SNL even passed on the dismissive "oh, you know... reporters."

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Are they living in the same country now?!?!

Awww... every congratulations and best wishes.

Always Anti-fascist!

She'd be perfect for a "Deadwood" ending. Take her out to "inspect the country", then, damn, sorry about that cliff. (/Swearingen) Barb, I do feel your pain in being surrounded by hooples.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Another sign of the End Times -- I just got an email from my mother with a smiley face in it.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

My mom sent me roses with a note to "Keep writing, this one is a bestseller."

Aw, that's so nice!

Seriously. She keeps telling me that Sam is such a cute little guy and she wishes I'd stop putting him through the ringer, she just wants to take him home and take care of him.

Aw. You have a good mom, Allyson.

“Not dead yet!”

Barb, I do feel your pain in being surrounded by hooples.

Thanks, erika-- I'm just glad it wasn't me in that situation, because I'm not sure I would've been that polite. A was all, "How come you don't get these crazies?" to which my response was, "Because I'm an ill-tempered, anti-social introvert who refuses to engage idiots."

ETA: That's adorable, Allyson. Good mom!
