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.
Jayne (Husband): Oh, I think you might wanna reconsider that last part. See, I married me a powerful ugly creature. Mal (Wife): How can you say that? How can you shame me in front of new people? Jayne (Husband): If I could make you purtier, I would. Mal (Wife): You are not the man I met a year ago.

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

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.

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?"

Israel: excellent reports from TV. Don't have the time to check the websites.
I'm so happy.

Swouncing
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!

"What would it take to get your daughter to stop tweeting about this?"
I kept thinking Todd Palin looked like he was breathing a sigh of relief.
