Dawn: I thought you were adequate. Giles: And the accolades keep pouring in. I'd best take my leave before my head swells any larger. Good night.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Kat, did you end up going to the doctor?

Sigh, I hate to say it, but I think as long as Palin can form actual sentences she'll be fine. I've come to the conclusion that the debates are just a Rorschach test, all they do is confirm your previous impression.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I don't think most people here have seen this haircut on me. Ah, good times.

Word up!

Shit's all sorts of different now.

It's bizarre--my twin sister's stepson's mother's boyfriend's parents. They have a whole menagerie on their farm. Not sure if the camel has one hump or two. Does it matter?

Not really. CAMELS!!!

Once a headache starts I become less tolerant of any scent

Yeah, I get nauseated, so scents are not generally my friend when migrainey. But I find ginger soothing. I have some ginger body lotion I really like, when I've already taken meds, and taken a shower, and am trying to soldier on...sadly, bought several tubs and then it seemed to be discontinued. Sigh. (Best part of course being that not only was it just ginger and no other scents, it was *cheap*).

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

(Sullivan, FTR, has been extremely critical of Palin from the beginning):

Well, he liked her for about four days, before the reality of her set in. Then he grew increasingly, hilariously, furious.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Speaking of hair - check out this awesome album cover: The Faith Tones: "Jesus Use Me" LP cover

It's not often that I wish you'd just posted a link to a naked cat instead.

How To Use the Bailout to Ask Your Parents For Money:

This bailout is pretty nuts, huh? I’ve been watching the whole thing on the news; first it’s going to pass, then it doesn’t pass, now it’s coming back. All that money. It really makes you think: sometimes, it’s important for money to be given to people, even if the reason they need the money is that they’re failing.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Plei, how old were your parents when they got married? They look like babies in that picture! Especially your dad.

Art Crawl!!!

Kathleen Parker talks about the response to her piece about Palin - and how she isn't qualified to be VEEP:

Palin's fans say they like her specifically because she's an outsider, not part of the Washington club. When she flubs during interviews, they identify with that, too. "You see the lack of polish, we applaud it," one reader wrote.

Of course, there's a difference between a lack of polish and a lack of coherence. Some of Palin's interview responses can't even be critiqued on their merits because they're so nonsensical. But even that is someone else's fault, say Palin supporters. The media make her uncomfortable.

Or, it's the fault of those slick politicos who are overmanaging her. "Let Sarah be Sarah" has become the latest rallying cry among my colleagues on the right. She'll be fine if we just leave her alone, they say. Between prayers, I might add.
