Man, layoffs are everywhere. Good luck, Frank.
What's funny about the technology generation is that with all the incessant coverage of the campaign and festivities for the past years, I kinda expect an Obamacam, where I can put him in the corner of my browser window and, you know, watch democracy happen. Like puppycam, but with leadership.
Good one!
The pictures from the inauguration from people I know are KILLING ME. It turns out I know some fancy people!
Oh, ugh, Frank, that's stomach-churning for everyone.
That describes how I'm feeling perfectly. The adrenaline rush from the dread is not helping.
Shit, Frank. That sucks. I've heard rumors that we're heading into another round in February. Yay.
ION, I just told my minion how old I am, she was STUNNED. She said I look very good for my age.
Frank, I am so sorry. I hope you are safe.
And the headline of the day goes to ...
Apparently, CNN took this headline down after only a few minutes....

They're all great, but #10 is my favorite.
I know I'm an enormous cheeser, but I love the picture of Maya's wedding attached to this article. [link] And the whole article is really interesting.

tackles the problem of premarital sex amongst college students (they're against it): Behind college doors… “The TRUTH about CAMPUS IMMORALITY” (Oct, 1965)
...When one sees these statements by college students we wonder where * in the name of good sense have the homes and churches been in the past few decades? Wallowing in permissiveness, ecumenicalism, pious platitudes involving international brinkmanship, right and left-wing menaces? (I have a feeling I’m in for trouble with those last two!) Have parents been so busy with their social cancers that they cannot give their children the sense of direction that they so sorely cry for in college.
I teach. United States History is my field of endeavor. I watch undisciplined young people trying to cope with a course that demands mental and intellectual discipline. Many of them barely succeed. If they barely succeed with the mental disciplines, where, then, will they succeed with the moral, spiritual, or psychological discipline of self-control? Selflessness? Is the young man with a young lady in a motel room thinking of her or their welfare? Hardly. He is just thinking, in most cases, of his own ego-nurturing attitude. Ask him later what type of girl he wants to marry, chances are he will think a second and say “well, she will have to be a nice girl.”
