Dean is stepping down as chairman of the DNC.

I was watching that last night, too, and had the same reaction. Housing boom followed by big-time crash? Check! Twenty-some years since the last market crash (1987)? Check! The money getting concentrated in the hands of a few? Check! Everyone else thinking that they could make it rich just as easily as "the few" did? Check! Everything on credit/margin? Check!
And then we'll get a World War.
My Dad recently read a book (has he gotten me the title yet? Goodness no) showing the "financial collapse/depression/big fucking war" pattern back to the 1400s or something.
I met one of my favorite jewelry designer (well, other than friends Gurhan is my
only
jewelry designer of love) at a trunk show last week and we ended up talking politics. As one does. He was saying that friends at home in Turkey and all over the world felt incredible relief at the election because we might just avoid World War III. As much as a depression would suck WWIII would be worse -- there are still enough nukes floating around that WWIV would involve flaming sticks and trebuchets...

THAT IS NOT ACTUALLY A
GOOD
THING PEOPLE!
As I've heard her called Dumpy McQueen.
It's true. I've always had a weird affection for her, too, but lithe she is not.
I like her, too, but Jeebus woman. DO NOT let your Mother in Law dress you!! It's like no one ever cleared out the Elder Barbara's closet in the Residence and Laura has just been picking through. She needs Clinton and Stacy.
Obama is in mid-step, and he's just all lanky and loose -- he actually reminds me of Michael Jordan, in terms of his physicality, now that I think of it.
He's got that touchy-feely thing that Michael has, too. In almost any shot of him with someone, he's reaching for them, or touching their shoulder or their back, or putting his forehead to theirs. It's interesting to see. (I liked the hand-on-arm thing he did when shaking W.'s hand, and then the double-hand clasp he did with Laura.)
She needs Clinton and Stacy.
Yes! That would be the BEST.
Can you even imagine? It would rock so hard.

Ehh, I'm not that worried. Dean's name is being circulated as a potential HHS Secretary, and I'd rather have him there as health policy is one of his major, major strengths. And anyway, after this election, nobody in charge of the party gets to pretend that the strategy can be ignored.

As long as he gets his props. And we get his spicy brain.
ita, I love that necklace. If I wore necklaces that were that pretty I'd totally get that one in smoke.
It looks so floaty and delicate. I wish it were in my budget.
Since you are a on a cereal kick, we'll have to come and go to the cereal restaurant with you soon. I swear.
Damned skippy.
I've realised that my rotating fix of new people is partially satisfied by the ER. If only I weren't so messed up about it too. Chatty McTalkerson. Last ER doc, though? Hot stuff, and he smelt that good kind of clean Mmm. Distracting. And the ER nurse totally sat down to talk about random stuff and told me to look her up next time I was in.
Breakfast this morning is popcorn with Dijon and butter topping. Mmmm. I want more.
