IOW, to paraphrase Rove, Reagan proved that reality doesn't matter.
Well, except for the reality hangover we're currently in.
Hmm. It's sounds like the finest party I can imagine getting paid to go to.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I think by law they can't use any campaign money towards the transition, though.
Huh. I think that's weird.

I'm sure there are good reasons why this is true, but it seems really ridiculous that the Obama campaign be more or less legally obligated to throw a giant pizza party and then turn around and ask their supporters for more money.

Yeah, this! And, really, I'm pretty sure most donors aren't actually just giving to the campaign -- they are giving to the hope that their candidate will be elected -- necessitating a transition!

ION, have any NYCistas seen these subway ads?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Yeah, I see them all the time.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Yeah, I see them all the time.
What Jesse said.

Huh - either they're not on my trains or I'm just not paying attention.
Regardless, I'm gonna say I don't like them.

Also, I like them! They confirm for me that I have a good sense of what's what. And I can eat a thousand calories at one meal if I want to!

I look at those calorie ads and think, "They're just sucking all the joy out of life."
