"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.

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.

I actually did just slightly better. also in the 7th grade.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Barb, did you see the video I linked to a couple days ago?

Yes, it's a variant of "Take on Me"

A nice follow-up to that other article from Daily Kos that I linked to upthread: Rednecks for Obama!

“Not dead yet!”

Barb, did you see the video I linked to a couple days ago?

Yep, saw it then, and after that, it seemed like it appeared all over my various flists and mailing groups. Clearly, I was earwormed.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

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.

Oh, I know Acorn. I was just kidding.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

Rednecks for Obama!

Oh, cool! I saw a sign saying that on the way to work today, but I didn't know it was a whole movement.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Are they installing umbrellas, David?

Erin, I'm thinking of taking the 5th off for that exact reason. Either way, I see a heavy-drinking night on the 4th.

If Obama wins -- and I just can't quite bring myself to type "when," even though I really think he will, because I was so burned over Kerry, after all the predictions had him winning by a healthy margin over Bush --

Steph, Matt Yglesias had a really interesting post on that subject today: [link]
