Just when I thought I wouldn't cry over the election anymore...
Reavers ain't men. Or they forgot how to be. Now they're just nothing. They got out to the edge of the galaxy, to that place of nothing, and that's what they became.

Yes, Obama and I were born in the same year and I don't think that we are really baby boomers. For one thing - my parents (and probably his) were not adults during WWII.
Now, I have a friend who is younger than I am and she has 2 older brothers and 2 older sisters and her dad was in the air force during WWII and her mother did the Rosie the Riveter thing and I think that makes her more Baby Boomerie than me despite our difference in ages.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
One election that wasn't about the lesser of two evils
Via Serious Eats, this Colorado Senate race, between Bob Bacon and Matt Fries, may have been the best ever.
Clearly, I would have voted for Bacon. But frankly, I sort of wish he had lost, because then someone could have made bumper stickers and T-shirts that read "Don't Blame Me, I Voted for Bacon," and that would have been awesome.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

I saw that on Scalzi's blog: [link] and I agree with him. ("You can't defeat bacon. You can't even hope to try.")

Ann, that's a ferret.

I hadn't heard that criterion before, but I like it. Then again, my mother was not only not an adult during WWII, she was born then.

Sorry, Sophia! But it came with a cry warning!
DH is taking his direct reports to an off-site team meeting. At the local brewery. They're taking the tour.

Fred Pete, that is my own criterion based on what is generally considered to be the main boomer experiences - and one is being born after WWII when your daddy comes back from the war.
Also - being in HS and college in the 60s - early 70s.
My parents were b. during the Great Depression and were kids during WWII and were in traditional college students in the mid-to-late 50s. They were tweeners and so am I.
