So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

I've made it so, Kristen's Roommate.

I say do whatever makes you feel safe, and that we'll back you up however you need us to.

Also, Cashmere? Yeah. I think I'd probably better not watch Thundercars of Indiana considering that there's an amateur racing dude who sometimes still calls me.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

I am very pro-public school. Insanely so. But I can't begrudge ANY presidential parent choosing private over public in DC. I had an awesome public school system. In a district with 3 high schools and little other options and fucking poor, but it shone. It was quite the revelation to go to a fancy-private college and see how many were private-school babes who sneered at public schools.

We're TWINS!

We lived in the fairly pricey area we lived in primarily for the public schools. Much of my extended family has done likewise. The President doesn't so much have that option. And even if you fully supprt the idea that involved parents with intelligent children (who lack any particular learning-challenges) can do well even in a not-great school, the security issues would be a fucking nightmare.

And his kids have never gone to public school anyway. People project a LOT on this guy. He's not anti-war, he's anti THIS war. He's not some big liberal -- he's pretty pragmatic and and inclined to useing approaches favored by liberals. Personally, lifestyle-wise, he's pretty conservative. He's expressed opposition to gay marriage, but (as I understand it) he was ALSO opposed to Prop 8 because of the constitutional issues its likely to get overturned on. Some people are in for a real shock, but they haven't been paying attention.

There are PLENTY of things I'm not going to agree with him on -- but I do agree with the way he finds common ground with his adversaries and believe he makes thoughtful decisions.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Also, I just saw the finale of Veronica Mars for the first time. Really, that's it? Also, how could they give Veronica another one note actor for a boyfriend? And am I crazy or was Dick the most interesting character in Season 3.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yikes, snow.

Also, yikes, stalkers.

“Not dead yet!”

Anyone else picturing Theo with a Bowie knife clenched between her teeth?

Just me?

Right then.
