Zoe: Preacher, don't the Bible have some pretty specific things to say about killing? Book: Quite specific. It is, however, somewhat fuzzier on the subject of kneecaps.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Hilarious liveblog of the Obama press conference: [link]

Also, I loved that Donna Brazile piece, only partly because I love her in general. She was the speaker at my grad school graduation or something, and kicked ass, even though she clearly had learned everything she knew about us in the car on the way over.

Our wings are not tired.

Ginger and Aims (and everyone), it truly is wonderful to not want to throw things at the TV when the Guy in Charge is talking.

It's sublime.

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

I saw the press conference, but did not hear it (was eating lunch). Who were all the people standing behind him?

Shit's all sorts of different now.

His economic policy transistion team. The woman with the short blonde hair and glasses in the black suit over hi right shoulder was MY governor, Jennifer Granholm.

Biden was next to him, Emmanuel was on his left. The woman behind him was the former governor of Michigan, whose name I disremember, but who I believe has been tapped for SecTreas. That's just from memory, so I don't remember who else was there, but I'm sure Axelrod was one of them.

I'm glad he's chosen someone with direct experience with one of the worst economies in the country, but I've seen some righties howling wailing about it already.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Best Tweet from the press conference: Obama is vetting his potential dog better than McCain vetted his VP choice.
