Get up...get up, you stupid piece of... What did you do that for? What's wrong with you? Didn't you hear a word he said? All of you! You think there's someone just going to drop money on you?! Money they could use?! Well, there ain't people like that. There's just people like me.

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

Distract yourself with this. It's good reading.

David Foster Wallace's Commencement Address at Kenyon College 2005

Suzanne Vega went to high school with EM. Performing Arts (aka, Fame school). She was quiet back then, and self-identified as Puerto Rican. Same class included Elizabeth Pena and Ving Rhames (in the dance program, if you can imagine that).

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

If it leads to the collapse of the rampant cynicism, classism, and corruption, I'm for it.

Yeah, I don't think those things would go away.

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

Somehow I doubt that would be the result.

I'm back from the new dentist.

Very nice. All the office people, very nice. I still hate them. I feel bad about it, but I can't separate the people from the poking of metal instruments in my mouth.

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

Even Rove has doubts about Palin:

A Toronto businessman asked him if he thought Sarah Palin would make a good President. "I don't know," said Rove.

eta: Perhaps I should have said, "Even Rove is expressing doubts about Palin." I'm sure lots of Republicans have doubts but are playing along with the program....

I thought this is a good commentary about Palin.

Sexist treatment of Palin must end

Hell, Rove hand picked her.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

Last night's TDS was both funny and scary at the same time. John Oliver was on talking about all the bad stuff happening during W's administration, and Jon Stewart asked him if W was angling to leave a legacy of being the worst president ever. Oliver: "No, the last." And that was the rather chilling end of the bit.

Hell, Rove hand picked her.

Really? She has been a smash success politically. I don't know if she'd be a good Veep or Pres, but the McCain camp's sheltering of her gives me more doubt than anything else.

It's just always smelled so Rovian to me -- a charismatic easily controlled governor with the common touch, a thirst for power, a dislike for civil rights, and a frightening lack of experience or curiosity.

Good news: Obama: "this is exactly the time" for a debate [link]
