I like books. I just don't want to take on too much. Do they have an introduction to the modern blurb?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Comment seen on Twitter:

It's like saying "If you already sat in the front of the bus I guess it's ok, but your friend over there? No dice."

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

It's still shocking to me that we can apparently amend the constitution with a simple majority on a voter initiative but we can't approve a budget without 2/3 of the legislature. That's just bizarre.

I would love it if some city clerk decides to start issuing marriage licenses with the dates altered so they fall into that window of legality.

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

California = Wacky.

Did people see the Krugman editorial on how Republicans have wrecked California?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Speaking of the back of the bus, this story from livejournal from over the weekend is pretty appalling. A black guy was kicked out of a bar here in NYC, presumably because of dress code. However, his black coworker was also not let in, wearing the same uniform their white coworkers were apparently fine in, AND a visibly drunk white guy wearing apparently the same outfit as our original poster was let in no problem.

Somebody in the comments had a hookup to one of those guys, I think. And it got put on Consumerist.

That bar is going to be a mess for at least the next week.

OMG people, please read the whole email before you come asking questions! It was not a long email! Just because there was a sentence, and you are an accountant does not mean you should ignore the sentence!

Fucking Tino.

A bandit in a gorilla suit tore through Wisconsin convenience stores and tried swiping big, bogus bananas made of Styrofoam, police say.
