They really are the bestest first couple EVAH. And FTR I totally agree with Michelle about going into politics. It makes you realize what a huge sacrifice all of this has been for her.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

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
I continue to be confused by the uproar. All the Episcopalians I grew up with would have considered it a non-issue. (Well, almost all. There was the family that thought horoscopes were a tool of the devil, but I think they ended up in a different denomination.)
Heh.
There was a kerfuffle when he was first made Bishop and some congregations de-affiliated and joined up with foreign Anglican communities. It's deffinately been a "thing".
I think its worth noting that Robinson was asked before Rick Warren was announced as leading his invocation -- this isn't a patch job, it was the plan from the start.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
The new Garner-Affleck baby is named Seraphina Rose Elizabeth.
Huh. I like Violet so much more than Seraphina.

I've known a few Seraphinas but none of them were white. In my head its like a blonde-haired blue-eyed Sheniqua. (A name my blonde-haired blue-eyed sister has always wanted to use, actually.)

A friend of mine has a white friend named Mei Ling. Always referred to as "my white friend Mei Ling."

Ann, that's a ferret.
And if she doesn't like Seraphina or any of the variants, she has two middle names (one of which has several variants of its own) to fall back on.

They might use Sally I suppose, since it's a nickname for Sarah. It sort of fits the mid-century vibe of Violet.
