Followed by naptime, preferably.

The kindergarten model is definitely a good one.

Totally. My place gives a little neck/back rub after, too. Good times.

And I'm totally getting a massage this week! Yay massage!

Grrrr...

I swear to whatever deity's in charge this week, if this child allows his cat to chew into destruction/loses another charger for anything electrical, I will wind up on the evening news doing something Very Bad.

I just spent the last hour purchasing a new charger for Nate's cell phone. Because he has no idea where his original charger is. He hasn't known where his original charger was for a few days now. He only told me because he wanted to go to a friend's house to play and when I told him it was okay, he just needed to take his cell because I was going to go run some errands, he all of a sudden changed his mind about wanting to go.

Imagine that.

That's when he 'fessed up.

Lucky for him, the errand I was going to run was to Honeybaked Ham, which has an AT&T store next door. The boy is now 27.00 poorer, since I made him pay for it out of his money. And Lewis is the very happy beneficiary, since by the time I got to HB Ham, they were out of hambones, so I went ahead and bought one of their baby hams, which the manager was discounting anyway, since they were getting ready to close.

So now we have ham for tomorrow and I'll have hambone with which to make split pea soup later in the week.

An invocation at at McCain Rally in Iowa:

"I would also pray, Lord, that your reputation is involved in all that happens between now and November, because there are millions of people around this world praying to their god — whether it's Hindu, Buddha, Allah — that his opponent wins, for a variety of reasons," [Pastor] Conrad said.

"And Lord, I pray that you would guard your own reputation, because they're going to think that their god is bigger than you, if that happens. So I pray that you will step forward and honor your own name with all that happens between now and Election Day,"

Um, wow.

He's ADMONISHING HIS god that he needs McCain to win so that non-Christians won't think god is a pantywaist?

Oh, fer fuck's sake. I quit.

I'm a lemur. Humanity is too stupid a species to belong to in dignity anymore.

You know, up until fairly recently, I respected John McCain, even though I don't agree with his views, and I think this is a very sad end to his political career, which please let this be.

I'm a lemur. Humanity is too stupid a species to belong to in dignity anymore.

This needs to be on a t-shirt.

I'm watching (non)Olberman and Maddow from last night, and Ana Marie Cox made a really good point about how there are always crazies at political rallies, but now those are the only people McCain has left -- and he may lose them after saying that Obama is a good man and not to be feared.

I'm a lemur. Humanity is too stupid a species to belong to in dignity anymore.

I may steal this at some point.

Aurelia! I get to see you in just a couple of days! YAY
