You know, with the exception of one deadly and unpredictable midget, this girl is the smallest cargo I've ever had to transport. Yet by far the most troublesome. Does that seem right to you?

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.

flea, thanks! Adorable! Casper is 5?? When did that happen?

sara, what an unexpected treat to be connected to the past. My sister - the one I'm going to be staying with after I move - has several things that we had growing up, in her home. there's a hutch and candlesticks and a Noah's ark cookie jar. when I catch sight of them I'm thrown back for a moment.

Some memories are worth it.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

That's so awesome, Sara, and just what Christmas should be.

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

Merry Christmas!

Noah loved his $1.99 stocking gift the best. Of course.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Merry Christmas!

If the holiday were a competitive sport I'd say Scrappy and Matt are in a dead heat.

Casper and Dillo look so freakin' cute!

For those keeping score at home, Emmett's tux looks awesome.

Minnesota Supremes Shoot Down Crucial Coleman Lawsuit, Making A Franken Win Nearly Certain

Simply put, Coleman is in very big trouble right now. With Al Franken leading by 47 votes, this lawsuit was Coleman's best shot at coming from behind. And it just failed, making a Franken win nearly a foregone conclusion when this recount finishes up in early January.

Late Update: The Coleman campaign's lead lawyer Fritz Knaak says the court's decision today "virtually guarantees that this will be decided in an election contest." So say hello to some messy litigation. But at the point where we go into an election contest, the chances of a Coleman victory are really slim to none. And with any luck, Franken could be seated by the Senate, at least provisionally, in time for the session to begin.

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

Merry Christmas, to all Buffistae who celebrate!

I am reading Yuletide stories (14,000 words of Masqueraders fic! o/) and thinking about getting dressed and heading up to my sister's house where we will do presents. Soon.
