Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

What I heard on NPR this morning, I think it was NPR (might be a podcast of WWDTM), was that some of the stores listed in the Palin shopping spree info have stated taht no one bought clothes in the amounts listed on those dates. The supposition being that the released $150K amount was under-reporting and that the expenses may not even be just for clothes.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I am utterly failing to get any work done.

“Not dead yet!”
Oh, Toddson-- I had to go find my recording of that concert.
I still remember watching it, the remains of the gate floodlit with the orchestra made up of musicians from around the world playing their guts out.
And man, but no one could conduct Beethoven like Lenny.
No.
One.
Of course, I may be biased.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
From that Newsweek article, I found this revealing.
Obama was never inclined to choose Sen. Hillary Clinton as his running mate, not so much because she had been his sometime bitter rival on the campaign trail, but because of her husband. Still, as Hillary's name came up in veep discussions, and Obama's advisers gave all the reasons why she should be kept off the ticket, Obama would stop and ask, "Are we sure?" He needed to be convinced one more time that the Clintons would do more harm than good.
Meanwhile, in the department of "be careful what you wish for":
McCain, on the other hand, was relieved to face Sen. Joe Biden as the veep choice, and not Hillary Clinton, whom the McCain camp had truly feared.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
The whole Prop. 8 thing pisses me off. Of all the things I could mention keeping me from a solid marriage (or even from getting laid) gay marriage is not in the same galaxy as the list. What a hateful bunch of bigots. I hope the lawsuits knock them back on their asses.
In other news, my Republican sister came down from MI yesterday to visit my dad. They'll be coming over to see me tomorrow evening, by which time my Obama-induced smug level should be down to polite levels.

So, here's an interesting thing that popped up in LJ and is starting to spread. There's a movement to have the Mormon Church's tax-exempt status removed for interference in the political process.
I have no idea if it holds any real water but I figured spreading the link to you good people can't be a bad thing.
