Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Now tagless for your comfort.

I just had to tell my kids to not run with scissors. I thought that was a myth.

I can actually pinpoint the exact second my life became a cliche.

Cash, doesn't it include childbirth?

I don't wanna go to work. I want to call in feverish, but we have back to school night tonight and I'm a good egg.

I'm guessing Rimbaud.
Nope, Saint-John Perse

Ibsen, Strindberg.
Yes

I just had to tell my kids to not run with scissors. I thought that was a myth.

I've done that too.

My wife showed me the Biden thing last night. It was hilarious. My favorite bit was "That was a direct quote", "Holy shit", "Yep".

She sent me the David Letterman, top 10 things heard at Palin's Debate Camp.

10. "Let's practice your bewildered silence."

9. "Can you try saying 'yes' instead of 'you betcha'?"

8. "Hey, I can see Mexico from here!"

7. "Maybe we'll get lucky and there won't be any questions about Iraq, taxes or healthcare."

6. "We're screwed!"

5. "Can I just use that lipstick-pit bull thing again?"

4. "We have to wrap it up for the day -- McCain eats dinner at 4:30."

3. "Can we get Congress to bail us out of this debate?"

2. "John Edwards wants to know if you'd like some private tutoring in his van."

1. "Any way we can just get Tina Fey to do it?"

It scares me that I think Palin makes Dan Quayle look like a potential candidate for a MacArthur Award.

I've got old pictures now!

Me, about age three

Me and my Dad age 4 or 5 probably

Me and my Mom, not sure about the age

Me, unsure of the age, showing off my huge teeth

Me, must be age four, with cool sunglasses

I like this one of my Dad because written on the slide was "I wasn't drunk"

not your mom's socks.

is anyone else bothered by the fact that there's been no discussion of the actual issues that might/should come up in tonight's debate... except by Katie Couric? I am increasingly troubled that the focus is all on form, not on substance.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

That picture of you at 3 looks so much like both Leif and Emaryn it's amazing. They're just wee, adorable carbon copies of you!

An interesting blog post on how when you are doing something creative, what's important is how much you do, rather than obsessing over whether something is perfect. The clip of Ira Glass is, as ever, excellent. I wish I could get youtube at school because my students need to see this.
