Man, having someone at my house during work hours is so helpful. I was able to call my mom and get some info I needed and am getting Free replacement Fire/CM detectors sent out to me now. The ones I bought in the Spring went belly up and they have a 5 year warrenty. PLUS she's cooking so dinner will be homemade and DONE. man, I need a house elf.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

The guy who voted for the Lizard People comes forward!

Ahh, the race of lizard-men conspiracy theory. I had thought it was a Hitchhiker's reference.

New and Improved Citrus Cranberry Sauce (now with portions that make sense for the humans!):

1 12-oz. package fresh cranberries, coarsely chopped
1 12-oz. can of orange juice concentrate, thawed
¾ cup sugar
⅓ cup Grand Marnier, or other orange liqueur
¾ tsp ground allspice
1½ tsp lemon zest
1 medium orange, zested and juiced

Mix first six ingredients together. Add zest and juice of orange to bowl. Bring sauce to a boil in a medium saucepan; cover, reduce heat. Simmer 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Simmer uncovered for 5 more minutes. Cool.

That's what the allspice is for. Upon eating, it reveals them. Like those brownies on Angel.

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

The Wonkette post for this has a picture of Sleestaks: ‘Lizard People’ Voter Revealed!

By coincidence, my iPod is randomly playing Robyn Hitchcock's "The Lizard."

eta: Comment on Wonkette:

Lizard People promises a warm rock to bask on for every American.

eta²: another comment:

Haha, Nate Silver, you and your fancy regression analysis didn’t figure on Teh Lizard Peoples, did you?

People keep saying he voted for Franken and Lizard People. The earlier linked article showed a copy of his balliot and although Lizard People is written in, the check box was left blank.
