I thought Wade Rathke founded Acorn? Relatedly, here's a whole rundown of the embezzlement scandal: [link]
Mal: You want to tell me how come there's a statue of you here looking at me like I owe him something? Jayne: Wishing I could, Captain.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Can I buy up the last of the season's peaches and have them live in my freezer for six months?
I think Alton Brown suggested that you freeze them sliced, with a bit of sugar solution... but maybe that was strawberries? You might want to check Food Network's website?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
I doubt if [link] is real, but if it is, it means I scored the same on the SATs as Sarah Palin, when I took them in the 7th grade.

Always Anti-fascist!
Maybe I met the vice-chair or the Assistant to the Regional Manager or something, then, but she impressed me anyway.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil
I'd love to stay up all night on the 4th and soak up the post-Obama-win goodness, but the next day is one of the two busiest of the year for me--the day after a general election, especially a presidential year one, means a lot of ballot measure results that I have to enter into my database here at work.
I was just double-checking my list to make sure I was up-to-date (found a few in Colorado that had been yanked off the ballot that I had as still being on it--oops!), and, man, am I going to busy on 11/5! Waaaay too many ballot issues in 36 states being voted on.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
He used to be an organizer, didn't he???
Not for them. They're not new, they go back to 1970-something Arkansas. Most of the time they work on things like getting crack houses razed or fighting dumping near a neighborhood. Ask me how I know all this...go on ask.
Last I remember they weren't even endorsing a candidate (this was before the primaries) though I know they met with Edwards a few times, and I think his platform was closer to the issues they work on.
Basically, watching people trying to connect him to that organization makes me dismiss anything they have to say.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Coming back from coffee I overheard two guys on the street parsing the "that one" line. That comment seems to have more traction than the entire rest of the debate.
ION, they'e remodeling the office so there are two guys pulling wire and cutting holes in the walls. It's periodically VERY LOUD. Also, the Blue Angels are in town and since my window is open it's VERY LOUD.
In short, deaf dizzy Tep should be working in my office today.

Now tagless for your comfort.
I'm getting the kids fed and ready to go to his class' Library Night. He gets to pick up his very own library card with his name on it.
Ooof. Now I'm responsible for two people's library fines.

“Not dead yet!”
Okay, now my ringtone is the keyboard intro to "Take on Me."
Yeah, go ahead, point and laugh. I would.
