Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Jenna and Barbara’s open letter to Sasha and Malia.

I was just going to find that!

Both letters are awfully nice.

The former president, who ruled France for 12 years until 2007,

Do presidents generally "rule" countries?

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020

Do presidents generally "rule" countries?

Only in a frat boy sense.

"I'm in the White House! I rule!"

Then they do keg-stands.

As I was typing it I thought, "Well, maybe in the intransitive sense!" Then I pushed my glasses up my nose and snorfled like a gigantic geek.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Oh man. It's really just sinking in that I don't have to follow up this:

Do presidents generally "rule" countries?

Only in a frat boy sense.

"I'm in the White House! I rule!"

Then they do keg-stands.

With "Only in this country then, huh?"

Hot damn.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Hm. I do not appreciate that squirrel.

eta: In related news, our local fire station closed down and all the firefighters were laid off. Turns out they were $400,000 in the hole. Not good.

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

Obama action figure from Japan: [link]

Takes a while to load, but totally worth it for Shaka!Obama at the bottom of the page. And I love that it comes with both a red and a blue tie.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Why no beagle love in Chicago?

Baying annoys the neighbors.
