Where can you do the Obama-izing, Kat???

I have no idea how rents are doing around me, but my rent didn't go UP, and I was happy about that.

meara: Obama Iconizer I am contemplating doing N and G and getting a shirt for each of them with the icon on it.

Damn, I need to pay better attention. Sorry, meara.

And I got here too late to help with the math. Darn.

Yeah, me too. I worked it out before checking. I think the key (because the amount of numbers involved can be overwhelming) is to break it down to one problem at a time. First, how much does the car cost per day? Then work out how much each person owes per day, which is easier at that point.

Of course, nobody cares anymore. But I think a lot about how to explain these things.

Thank you! I wish I'd had you for 4th grade math!

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

What I really want to see from Obama is some sort of investigation/prosecution of Bush et al for violations of US and international law in the torture of detainees. I know Obama wants to "look forward" but maybe he can appoint Patrick Fitzgerald to head an investigation? If prosecutions are warranted, I'm sure Obama could do a good job explaining to the people why they're necessary.

Well, I'm not saying I actually SUCCEED in explaining things well. Just that I think about it!

Do you think Obama could just reopen the WPA? That would be cool.

Obama to Bush: I Can Release Your Records. Don't Like It? Sue.

SQUEE!!! Does this mean they might prosecute for illegal Bush activities? Cause I thought I heard that Obama has been making noises about not doing that ("moving forward, not looking back") and to that I say FUCK NO! PROSECUTE! It's important as it sets a precedent for future administrations.
