You know, I just... I woke up, and I looked in the mirror, and I thought, hey, what's with all the sin? I need to change. I'm... I'm dirty. I'm, I'm bad with the... sex and the envy and that, that loud music us kids listen to nowadays.

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.

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

There was a book, even, Real Women Pump Gas.

Actually the title was Real Women Don't Pump Gas.

It was an unofficial followup to Real Men Don't Eat Quiche.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

The Model T sounds like it was more bicycle than car.

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

Rachel Maddow: Gone Fishin'!

Wondering where Rachel Maddow's been all week?

While Executive Producer Bill Wolff's wife Alison Stewart has filled in, Rachel's been on vacation fishing in Massachusetts.

Cape Cod's Nelson's Bait and Tackle shop reported that Rachel joined them for a trip on the fishing boat the Beth Ann last weekend, and Thursday morning she tweeted a photo with a prize catch (see below for full version).

"Have caught all fish in sea. Sorry! Ready to think politics again soon," she wrote.

That is a pretty big fish she caught....

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Rachel's been on vacation fishing in Massachusetts.

That is not as wild as Argentina.

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

Did you know that your trickling motivation sounds surprisingly similar to a crying baby who's pooped his pants?

Huh. No, I didn't. As long as it smells different, that's fine.

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

Actually the title was Real Women Don't Pump Gas.

Right, yes. That's what I was thinking, but somehow didn't type...

It was an unofficial followup to Real Men Don't Eat Quiche.

Yes, exactly! There was a flood of those tiny pamphlet books after that.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

Again, thanks for the birthday happies. I did decide to blow off going up to Maine, at least for today. And, lo-and-behold, it seems to have stopped raining. Which will probably last until about halfway through where ever I try to go later.

Yep, I'm being lazy. I think I get to today.

I'm bored. And there seems to be far fewer blog posts today, pro'lly because of the upcoming holiday weekend.

“Not dead yet!”

Pumping your own gas is just wrong. ::nods::

What is wrong with you people? I'm too much of a control freak to let anyone pump my gas. I love my car. I don' want no one messin' wit my car.
