Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
How could a pet not think riding in that is awesome?
Well, it was through DC traffic, not a ride in the country. We'll see if she can be persuaded to ever jump in again.
I think it may be easier for them personally to be in a school where the students are blasé about political celebrities
I'm agreeing, but still really hoping for the public school. Secondarily, it would avoid the whole limo-liberal tag.
From the "They say she helps the homeless and doesn't eat meat - we have a problem with her" department:
Roy Brown: I am not and have never been a vegetarian
Republican gubernatorial candidate Roy Brown indignantly denies being a vegetarian and accuses Democrats of promulgating a smear campaign against him:
"I am not and have never been a vegetarian," Brown said. "I am disgusted by the baseless allegation that I am a vegetarian and that my personal eating habits should somehow be construed as opposed to the economic interests of Montana's livestock industry."[Billings Gazette]
Brown admits that he and his family temporarily cut down on meat and dairy products 25 years ago, but only because they were caring for a dying relative who couldn't tolerate these delicacies.
I am still hoping that the Obama girls will go to public school,
Well, they don't go to public school now, so I'm not sure they will in DC, either.
I just started reading that big Newsweek series, and it's really too bad I'm supposed to be working today!
jesse, is there more? Because I was loving what I read earlier this week.
is there more?
Everything but the last chapter is up now. This is good, because I was feeling a definite lack of frantically hitting refresh now that the election is over.

Grade-A Crazy, get it while it's fresh!

You know, I would have sworn that was an Onion story, but I guess not.

Ha! I know, right? I'm still checking 538 every two seconds. I'm curious to see if he does a post-mortem of the model, since it did underestimate the electoral vote. I wonder if he became more conservative when the numbers started looking so big.

It was up through Chapter 6 last night (the debates).
I thought McCain came off pretty well, actually. I like him better than I did after the Rolling Stone piece.
I mean, I don't want him as President, but he did have a conscience.
The point where I started rooting for Obama instead of just the Democratic party was his speech in response to the Rev. Wright imbroglio. That was masterful and really gave me a better sense of who he was, and how he would govern.
