This is so nice. Having everyone together for my birthday. Of course, you could smash in all my toes with a hammer and it will still be the bestest Buffy Birthday Bash in a big long while.

Good lord, the man looks like an Oompa-Loompa from the 70's era Willy Wonka!

Art Crawl!!!

The problem with asking him to step down is assuming that he might do so for the greater good of the state of Illinois. (I would guess that it would have to be couched in someway to look like it would be for the greater good of Rod Blagojevich.)

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

I missed this on first glance.

He added he had not talked to Blagojevich since 2007.

The Lt. Gov hasn't spoken to the Gov in almost a year? ?!

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I googled "Charlie Crist Oompa Loompa", and, well, you're not the first person to make that observation.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Funniest bit from aurelia's link:

He [the Lt. Governor] added he had not talked to Blagojevich since 2007.

I mean seriously, y'all.

Punishingly Intricate

It's all so crazy!!!! and his biggest political enemy, I understand, is his father-in-law?

What a soap opera!

Well, that's a long list, but the father-in-law (also a major Illinois pol) is definitely on it.

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

Flirting With Forty is based on a Jane Porter novel and Jane wrote it after she got divorced, went to Hawaii and met a hot surfing instructor nine years her junior.

With whom she's now expecting a baby at age 44.

::sniff sniff::

That is the most beautiful story I have ever heard.

Our wings are not tired.

erika, I watched a movie called 25th Hour over the weekend. It wasn't very good, but Clay was in it! And guess what?? He said "sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeit" about a thousand times! I never knew the actor brought it to The Wire ; thought it was the opposite.
