Was the state he was born in a state yet when he was born?
It's even more complicated. He was born in the Panama Canal Zone, which was a U.S. possession at the time but was never a State. And isn't even a U.S. possession any more.
Hands! Hands in new places!

Where was Andrew Jackson born?
He wasn't born in the United States. At the very least, because the United States didn't exist when he was born.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
But he was actually born on US military property, right? (Edit: McCain, not Andrew Jackson.) And to two US citizens, so. Moot point, anyway.
Or, of course, a moo point. Like a cow would make!!
I don't think my free coffee was decaf like I asked for.....

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Where was Andrew Jackson born?
The OTHER Carolina. I'm sure of it.
(Srsly. Somewhere right near the NC-SC border, but the surveys weren't exactly good at the time, so nobody knows. So I will very generously allow SC to have him.)

Too much caffeine and sugar? WOOOOOOOO!!!!
Of course, what I really need to be doing is my self-evaluation. Or the many things on my to-do list, so that my self-evaluation is better. But whatever.

Puppycam fans: Does anyone else have this problem where the puppies are sleeping and you navigate away to another tab, and forget that they're there, and then when they wake up and start rasslin' your computer is suddenly making all kinds of little squeaks and barks?

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
Just about two hours in Los Feliz today. Also, very excited coffee bean barrista was just about jumping out of her skin, it's her first time voting, today.
Both Kristen and I are fretting about what to do for the Election Show dinner.

Compassionately intolerant
Totally, amych.
The other day, I left my puppy cam tab open and completely wigged when people started talking in my office.
Freaky-deaky.
