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

She's off to be Girl Rush. This was all her roundabout means of ending up with a TV show.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

The timing is what makes the Palin thing so odd to me, but yeah, I bet she ends up making money in the media, Huckabee style.

Our wings are not tired.

Palin as a media personality does a lot less harm than her governing while still leaving her around for the mockage.

We got home to 4!! boxes waiting for us. some puzzle, pjs and future gifts for mac. 2 plates and a madame alexander doll off ebay for me. Clothes and shoes from Land's End for both of us. One pair of shoes will have to go back, but the rest is great.

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

Must be something in the air - we took Dylan to the Prospect Park Zoo today too. Had a great time until it started raining, then went out for yummy Mexican food for lunch. (Would have done Tom's, but the line was around the block.)

Dylan is now watching Manahmanah for the millionth time on my computer (oh second monitor, how I love thee) while I futz around on the internet. I feel I should be limiting screen time, but then when would I get a chance to check the board?

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

Andrea Mitchell is reporting that Palin has told her allies she's out of politics completely.

And out of the blue Dylan is now telling me he has two nipples. I guess I'm proud of him for the accurate counting?

(He also has taken to pointing to his penis and exclaiming "It's Mommy and Daddy's penis!!" The logic, I suppose, being that everything else he thinks is really awesome belongs to us and not to him, so why not this? Nipples, penis, and farting, though. The transition from baby to boy is now complete.)

I am beat from the zoo, too! And had yummy Mexican dinner! We are as one. I am also feeling pleased with myself because I took the rest of the can of refried beans and froze it in single-serving tostada-shaped blobs.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Andrea Mitchell is reporting that Palin has told her allies she's out of politics completely.

I wouldn't believe a word that woman said even if she told me the sky was blue.

Jon Stewart blew a few good holes in the Prez's image last night.

I'm so annoyed with Obama right now. I'm not sorry I voted for him, but I want to throttle him for his bullshit on gay rights.

Compassionately intolerant

The Daily Show piece focused on the promises of transparency that are far from being realized. This makes me sad.
