Oh, yeah. There was this time I was pinned down by this guy that played left tackle for varsity... Well, at least he used to before he was a vampire... Anyway, he had this really, really thick neck, and all I had was a little, little Exact-O knife ... You're not loving this story.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

As a nation we consume too much. We need to shift our economy and I really hope that we can make that shift without things getting too dire in the next couple of years.

Krugman is also talking about the consumer spending numbers today: [link] I think it is going to be rough for a while, no matter how the shift is managed, but I like his brand of thinky.

OMG, another Sartorialist pic of Hammer pants!

Once again, this is in Russia. I went back to the other post of Hammer pants, and the comments were mostly positive. I fear for society.

Dear Consumers:

Please do not spend your precious dollars on Hammer pants!

Kthxbye, Me.

Actually, I think it might be a Hammer jumpsuit!

I wish MY spending fell. 2008 was the Year of The Blown Budget. Little of it was within my control: sick cats, breaking stuff. I don't even want to wonder whether I even managed to break even, rather than my usual saving.

I think it is, Sue. Some kind of freakish shiny hammer-pants onesie.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Is the Rachel Maddow interview with Obama available online?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

At least highlights are here: [link]

Forget Halloween, this is the stuff of nightmares.
