The New Yorker endorses Obama.
Gunn: The final score can't be rigged. I don't care how many players you grease, that last shot always comes up a question mark. But here's the thing. You never know when you're taking it. It could be when you're duking it out with the Legion of Doom, or just crossing the street deciding where to have brunch. So you just treat it like it was up to you—the world in balance—'cause you never know when it is.

his current job is at a boutique law firm specializing in wine law. How freaking cool is that?
Damn it. I knew I shoulda gone to law school.

McCain pulling out of Michigan
Oh goody. More McCain birdcage liners in my mail
Right? Mine, too.
Actually, now that I think about it, all our political mail has been in favor of Obama. Maybe McCain targets his mail to specific ZIP codes; ours is the Cincinnati equivalent of San Francisco. It's VIGOROUSLY liberal, and it has a high percentage of Teh Gays, as well as Teh Blacks and Uppity Wimmins. Maybe Old Guy figured it would be a waste of postage.
What time is the debate? 10? 9?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
I just slammed Orson Scott Card, taught my students the word schadenfreude, led two successfulish whole class discussions where they made sense of the Aristotle stuff WITHOUT ME and got a kid to register to vote.
Dude. Even without the fever, that's an awesome teaching day!

And on another subject - mammograms are uncomfortable and unpleasant BUT it's once a year, doesn't take long, and may save your life.
Get thee to a radiologist!
