"... there's a shortage of particularly inspiring politicians in the world. It would be a pity to send them all to Canada".
Scary part, on so many different levels? That I can think of movie quotes in relation with these days politics.
You're talking to Serenity. And, Early... Serenity is very unhappy.

Canadian naitonal election results. I like that it's not enough to be the marijuana party, but they have to be the Radical marijuana party.

Art Crawl!!!
Man, I thought today was tomorrow.
But it isn't.
Whew.
Also: last night, I went to the "community read" that my town did as part of the Big Read of To Kill a Mockingbird.
I was asked (okay - my local librarian - and leader of the mystery book club grabbed me on Saturday and drafted me) to read a page. Naturally, I was nervous because I hate that sort of thing but it was fun.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Was there an epidemic of babies being eaten by snakes in the early 1900s?
RARE Antique BETTERBABY Bed BABY CRIB Cage SNAKE PROOF
I'd have to look it up, but think this is just about the weirdest baby-related item I've ever seen, and it was made right here in Ohio a long, long time ago - 1914 - 1916. (We've always been rather resourceful here in Ohio as far as keeping snakes and bugs and wild hogs away from our babies.)
What it actually is, is a baby cage, but I'm sure that's not the way it was originally marketed.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Why does it show that Bloc Québécois got more seats, but a smaller popular vote than the NDP?

not your mom's socks.
I am afraid that watching the debates tonight will make me crazy. OTOH, I am hoping that Obama doesn't sit back on his poll numbers. I want him to be really, really good. And I'd like McCain to be good also - but I'm afraid that he's going to go the scare-tactics route. Which I don't need.

I was an idiot and came to work. Going to be talking to the vet today.

How is MK doing today, sarameg?

Punishingly Intricate
sara, go home if you are feeling really agitated about not being there. Hope vet has good news today. Did he see Dr. Berry?
(hah! And just googling because I couldn't remember if it is Dr. Barry or Berry I came across a Best Of for our vet that mentions my friend's dog Jimmie Dean. I imagine the piece was written by my friend's husband's ex-fiance. This is a very small town.)

Poor Mr. Kitty....
Senator, you've made healthcare one of the key items of your campaign. What would your administration do to insure the health of Mr. Kitty?
