Tara ,'Get It Done'
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.
I'm not entirely happy with everything Obama wants to do, but I've got a good feeling that he's going to run a very competent administration.
I feel confident that he's not going to brand people who disagree with his administration traitors, which is sort of nice.
I'm finding myself weirdly fascinated by the Obamas. It's like I have a crush on the whole damn family.
I can deal with people I disagree with, when I believe that they have a thoughtful position that they really believe.
I used to believe this of myself, until I met John Yoo. He's quite thoughtful, and not a raging neocon. He's even got a great sense of humor. But I can't deal with him because of his positions.
That Whistlestop photo from Downingtown PA: that is right near where my father grew up.

After seeing John Yoo's interviews in Taxi to the Darkside, I'd be hard pressed to not throttle him if I ever met him in person.
This was linked to over at Readerville - I thought some (history buffs) might be interested in it:
Recording from 1818 of a unit being bombarded.
Link to recording at the site and it's also available on itunes.
Edited to say: of course, by 1818, I mean 1918.
Add me to the family-crush list.

Oh, I don't mean deal with personally. Mostly I mean respect. Not that I know who John Yoo is.
From McSweeney's: An Electoral-College breakdown for my French in-laws that meets all their preconceptions.
I'm trying to decide if his description of Florida or Ohio is more apt, but they did call Laura, Tep and Cash to mind.
