Last minute appointments aside, I'm struck by how graciously Bush appears to be reaching out to the Obamas. I especially liked Laura's invite to Michelle and the girls, because it is going to be such a transition for them. But who wouldn't want to invite them over ?!!
This money, it is too much. You should have some small refund.

Now tagless for your comfort.
She went on to say that the market plunge today is proof that Obama is bad for the economy.
I was a bit gobsmacked. And I feel really sorry for her. I remember how I felt in 2000 and 2004. But, really? Two days after the election...two months before he has any actual power, Obama is bad for the economy. Not the lack of oversight and rampant greed has screwed into the ground? Really?
Oh, yeah, the market dropping had NOTHING to do with the unemployment figures that came out today. @@

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
Yahoo news blamed the market drop on the election too.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Two days after the election...two months before he has any actual power, Obama is bad for the economy.
Well, that's drawing long-term conclusions, but sure, I'm willing to believe the market went down in response to the election. The stock market is all based on bullshit and feelings.

You guys! Obama was in my building today. But I found out while stuck on a conference call. And from someone on the call, so not much room to make a bullshit excuse and go stalk the lobby.
I believe Mr. President qualifies as an official shitweasel, no, JZ?
Oh god, why now? I've been away from the interwebs.

Loki is ridiculous.
I was lying on the bed and my stomach growled. He started and had to thoroughly investigate, poking my stomach and trying to get under my shirt. If that wasn't funny enough, I then farted and he attacked my ass. I was giggling until I cried.

It is almost completely dark here at 5:00. I'm not loving the northern climes.

He named Lee Greenwood to the National Endowment for the Arts.
Six years of Mr. "God Bless the U.S.A."
On the upside, Obama gets to appoint the next chair for the Council.

Oh, go on with your bad self, Melissa Etheridge!
No same-sex marriage, no more tax dollars from Melissa Etheridge.
That's the defiant stand taken by the 44-year-old singer in a new blog post on The Daily Beast following the passage of California's Proposition 8.
Etheridge declares that if she's not "allowed the same right [to marry] under the state constitution as any other citizen. ... I am taking that to mean I do not have to pay my state taxes, because I am not a full citizen."
....
Etheridge ends her blog with a message for Prop 8 supporters: "Gay people are born everyday. You will never legislate that away."
