Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

When traffic near home is being jacked up, it's at least good to know it's for a good reason--Glam, did you make it to the demonstration at the Mormon temple?

Went for lunch with an ex-worker yesterday. Today he jokingly referred to it as a date (I was notoriously single at the office). Why he gotta do that? I have such a lack of sense of humour when it comes to stealth dating. In all seriousness I let myself get bitten by that more than once.

Cash, good call on the Weatherly arms. They were pleasant. NCIS has a decent set of science advisors, it seems. I swear they used appropriate methodology cleaning up a JPEG in this past episode.

Kat, I love the reporter's reaction. "Ralph Nader...what was that?"

ita, I love his "Really?" first. That shit cracked me up.

I'm so tired and so swamped with bleh that I haven't even answered any of my emails or phone calls. So if I owe you one, it's not you. It's me. I haven't even called my volunteer supervisor back yet.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

That's great, Sophia.

I've been hearing a bunch of speculation figuring out what school the Obama girls will go to. My bet is Sidwell Friends.

My bet is Sidwell Friends.

Good bet. It certainly worked well for Chelsea.

I have such a lack of sense of humour when it comes to stealth dating.

I'm not a fan of the stealth date. It makes everything awkward when people I know have imaginary relationships with me, and also I refuse to apologize for any infidelities I've committed before I've been made aware of my sekrit girlfriend status.

Oh yeah. Awesome stealth fun times.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I fell asleep with the TV on, and just woke up to Elvis Costello and Madeleine Albright singing "don't Fence Me In" on Conan. It was quite surreal. Also, Madeleine Albright has a really nice voice!

Now there is some sort of metal type band seriously dressed like Demons from Buffy.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I've been reading the Newsweek story. It reads like a thriller even though I already know the outcome.

One of the things I've been thinking about is that the Baby Boomers only got a president for eight years. Whoever comes after Obama is not going to be from that generation.

Isn't Clinton Baby Boom?

ETA: And W. for that matter.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Well, Clinton is who I meant by the eight years, but you're right - I plumb forgot about W. Apparently my brain is already trying to expunge him.

In sum: 16 years of Baby boomer rule. If Hillary had won, it would've been at least 20, maybe 24.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Isn't Clinton Baby Boom?

ETA: And W. for that matter.

Yes to both. Hec, by "Baby Boom" do you in fact mean "born at the same time as me?"

ETA: blast! You cross-posted reason at my snark! I am defeated!

Although the most common definitions I've seen of the boomer generation have it ending in either '62 or '64, in which case Obama fits in at the tail end.
