Is it wrong that I'm hearing this in Ralph Wiggum's voice?
BWAHAHAHA!
Plus bonus points for use of the word 'mosey'.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

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
On The Daily Show they showed a clip where Cheney was turned dramatically out of frame at the top of the stairs. All I could think was "Dalek".
In the second video on dailyshow.com you can see it at about 3:50

Need your cats to get a paying job?
At the Nekorobi cat cafe in Tokyo, customers pay $10 an hour to watch pillows being shredded and pummeled. Most patrons are 20- to 30somethings seeking healing by cats or those who cannot afford to have pets full time.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
Not for nothing, and I do loathe W, but that is how he talks - there's not much faux there. Growing up in Midland and Houston, not an uncommon accent for people not trying to maintain an less-accented speech.
As an example, my parents both grew up in New Mexico with all their siblings. NM is kind of the land of no accent. They all moved as adults to various parts of Texas and raised their children in TX. One of my aunts has a very strong, almost ridiculous west TX accent now (think an older Mrs. Taylor on FNL - "HIiii Y'all. How are ya doin'?" with upswing drawl at the end of each sentence if not word.) despite not even growing up there. My mom, less so with the accent, and the rest of my aunts and uncles, basically nothing. My brother and I actively worked to lessen our accents, but all my cousins have varying degrees of TX accents based on the regions they lived in.

But he grew up in Maine.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
I'm going to go out on a limb and say that, yes, Obama is a pro-woman, pro-reproductive-rights President: [link] So, there's that.
This is the first day in 8 years that I didn't think the government wanted to send troops to patrol my uterus.
(Not to mention, closing Gitmo.)
I feel like I woke up in a parallel universe.

And his siblings don't do it.
I'm sure he works it. It's like that YouTube of Sarah Palin politicing before her national campaign -- strangely bereft of "gonnas" and "you betchas".

I'm surprised that there isn't a similar "youtube" of Bush with and without faux Texan accent.
Teppy - so exciting to wake up and discover that they've stopped the star chamber trials - even if it's only a temporary measure.

Walking past all the newsstands in GCT this morning, I got a little jolt of happy every time I saw the words "President Obama."

I *seriously* feel like I woke up in a parallel universe. After 8 years of repressive, regressive, illiterate, ham-fisted EVIL, I don't even know how to deal with actual justice and liberty and multisyllabic words.
