In terms of Freedom of Choice, Ezra Klein suggests that if you live or work near anyplace the sells Krispy Kremes you buy one or more on the 22nd, the anniversary of Roe vs. Wade. His point is that while this may not be a tremendously effective way to support a woman's right to choose, it is probably the only opportunity many of us will have in our lifetime to make a political statement by eating donuts.
Zoe: Nobody's saying that, sir. Wash: Yeah, we're pretty much just giving each other significant glances and laughing incessantly.

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.
When I went back to the laundromat, I realized that the white guy was even more of a tool, because the other customer said "I don't speak Spanish" because the TV was playing Primer Impacto, not because she couldn't understand the owner (who was speaking English). Good times.

ION, I just threw random frozen green vegetables into a pot to turn into soup, and I'm not so sure it's going to be something I want to eat.

other superheroes Obama should meet.
Ethan is awesome. I love the Aquaman one:
After Aquaman exits the building, Obama turns to the other foreign dignitaries and says what everyone’s thinking: “Man is that guy lame or what?”

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Tom and I are on the ferry at Sausalito. We decided not to actually get off the boat before heading back, but the trip over was great.

There was an event on DuPont Circle today with a giant inflatable George W. Bush, at which people threw shoes. No, really: [link]

I have printed out maps and directions and phone numbers. I have put a new memory card in the camera and rounded up batteries. I have ascertained that we probably will walk through the 395 tunnel. I found my beltloop money carrier. I set the alarm and lights to go at 5 am. I know what I'm wearing.
Now to just get up at 5 am and for 29 to not be a parking lot. Or ice rink.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Aww. If I'd known about that, I totally would have gone. I even have a pair of shoes I really want to get rid of! (I keep meaning to just throw them away, but I keep forgetting.)

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil
My office sent out an e-mail asking, nay, begging, people not to watch tomorrow's inauguration on their computers since all of those people trying to stream it on their desktops would slow down the company's network to a standstill. Instead, we're supposed to watch it on the TVs they've got set up at each location (ours will be in the cafeteria). I won't be here, so I don't have to worry about that, but that's the first time I've ever seen such a request issued by TPTB.
