But I understand. You gave up everything you had to find me. And you found me broken. It's hard for you.

"What would it take to get your daughter to stop tweeting about this?"

Dang, did you get a glimpse of Cheney in that black hat? He looks like the scary Nazi dude in Raiders of the Lost Ark!

BWAH!

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

Obama acknowledged that atheists were part of the country. Nice to hear.

I almost burst into tears when he said that. It was so wonderful to hear.

Our wings are not tired.

Yeah, but there's got to be a better word than non-believers.

Well, atheist is perfectly cromulent, but so many people heap so much ugly on it... you can see where he chose a word that didn't come pre-loaded in that way. Or does it? I don't know. I was just happy to hear the shout-out.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

OMG- my department is still crazy with the Hussein thing?

Perfectly understandable. My middle name is "Rae" and I'm always zapping people into oblivion. My first name isn't "death" but still, what else can you expect from someone with the middle name "Rae"?

I'm amused that John Hodgman, Stephen Fry, and I have almost identical Twitter streams today. (And about a billion other people, I'm sure, but I'm tickled to be in the company of those two in particular.)

Someone upthread commented on how sober Hillary looks. I don't think it was Jill Biden's slip on Oprah.
