You guys, I actually caught up on the last 1000 posts or so of Natter, just to read your vote-and-post and watch-results-and-post. I couldn't *not* share this with you, you know?
River: I know you have questions. Mal: That would be why I just asked them.

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
Hey Nilly, is Israel stoked? I've been reading comments at science blogs, and all the congrats from around the world.
Also, thanks for sending me the essay translations in Hebrew and your bat story, it so made a crappy time so much better.

Now tagless for your comfort.
It's amazing. I really think they may storm the Bastille.
They may be thinking they don't want to wait 77 days. Were they carrying torches and pitch forks?

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
I think they are just trying to make Bush hear their joy. It's a FU to him.

Our wings are not tired.
Ah Nilly, you were so helpful in consoling us the last time around with your beautiful compassionate words. It is grand to have you here to join in the celebration!

I love the puppycam! I'm telling you, those are the puppies Barack needs to get for his girls.
The look on Palin's face from Cash's link is more like, "So. Do I get to keep the clothes now?"

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".
Israel: excellent reports from TV. Don't have the time to check the websites.
I'm so happy.

Allyson, Israel is - as is its, um, shall we call is self-centric? worried-for-itself? way - wondering if he's going to be good for Israel.
I think he lessened their worries significantly when he visited here a few months ago, but still. Especially when the political situation here is so silly shaky (election probably on February.
But the [edit: radio. Can't turn on the tv yet because my roommates asleep] news opened here right when he started his speech, and they went to that live even though it was at the exact moment that people started applauding, and they kept this and continued broadcasting it, even though it had way less content than what they wanted to broadcast. I personally thought it had lots of content in and of itself.
And, Allyson, I wish you could read the Hebrew response on that translation - people loved it!
