(I'm working at home today because my vertigo is OUT OF CONTROL today)
Oh, ugh. I had some pretty bad vertigo a while back, and it just sucked. And nothing they suggested helped me. Good luck with that....
Zoe: Preacher, don't the Bible have some pretty specific things to say about killing? Book: Quite specific. It is, however, somewhat fuzzier on the subject of kneecaps.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Today, for the first time ever, I heard an Obama ad on the radio. WTF? Illinois is solidly pro-Obama, right?

I look more rad than Lutheranism
Obama buys a half hour of network primetime:
You know McCain will follow suit. The thing is, even reading the teleprompter, he's twitchy and creepy. I think it'll turn people off.
It's got to be hard to be old and pasty white and twitchy and be compared to Obama, who frankly has got it going on.
Chatty!co-worker, who is quite the clotheshorse (some might even say "dandy"), pointed out that McCain's suit for the town hall debate was really poorly fitted, which made him look dumpier and shorter. It wasn't until McCain and Obama shook hands that I realized that McCain isn't a whole lot shorter than Obama.

“Not dead yet!”
My point is that I don't care if she doesn't care.
Ah, gotcha. I just looked at the article and judging by the series of pictures in there, it's kind of like media revenge for keeping her so sequestered for so long.

Also impressive is how fast the comments achieve Godwin's law.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Indiana is a toss-up state. He's got a huge organization there.

Isn't he, though? I saw something saying he was the shortest major candidate since Dukakis.
Randomly, I just looked up my minion's birthday, and she was born in 1985. Christ -- no wonder she doesn't know anything!

Yeah, because Hitler was always buying half-hours of primetime....

Me, too! I was equally surprised to hear it. The only thing I could figure is that the station I heard it on, WGN, is picked up across the Midwest, including in WI and IN, so they figured they'd get a three-fer with that particular station.

There have been television ads for him here in very blue Maryland (on Bravo mostly, I don't know if because that's where they are running mostly or because that's the station I watch most often).
It wasn't until McCain and Obama shook hands that I realized that McCain isn't a whole lot shorter than Obama.
I thought McCain was like 5'7" and Obama was 6'1"?
There was a guide to presidential candidate heights and weights going around this week but I can't remember from where.
