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

Reagan was also called "Dutch".

Always Anti-fascist!

Calli, wrod. Maybe she made up "Big Dog," too, Connie. "Silver fox" makes me think of Keith Olbermann. Of course, so does looking at lineoleum, but seriously, looking at photos of him in his youth? Not the faintest glimmer that he'd be, like, the Fox Mulder of the news business. Even without the tacky pornstache. Well played, gravity. Great thanks.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

Yeah, I've been thinking that for years, so I've gotten used to the world tremble. At least he was sane....

I didn't agree with his economic plan (nor did his pre-Reagan former self, since he's the one who christened it Voodoo Economics), but Bush Sr. performed ably in crafting foreign policy.

At any rate, he fulfilled my minimum qualification for President of the US: smarter and more together than me.

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

I don't think Buffy ever did this: Woman Uses Wedgie To Capture Thief

SALT LAKE CITY — It took a wedgie and a headlock to pin down a man suspected of breaking into a car. Yvonne Morris, a technician at the Brickyard Animal Hospital, said she chased a man who broke into a co-worker's car, but he kept squirming away from her.

The third time, Morris grabbed hold of the man's boxer shorts and pulled. Salt Lake City police said she then she put a headlock on the man until help could arrive.

The man was booked into the Salt Lake County jail on suspicion of vehicle burglary, possession of stolen property and outstanding warrants.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I think Dutch was Reagan's actual nickname, no? Like, what old friends called him to his face?

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

Today was one of those days where I just had it with work and had to get out ASAP. So, when I got the time sensitive stuff all done and it was over four hours since I started, I went over to my boss and asked if I could take my makeup day for working the holiday yesterday as two half-days, including this afternoon. She was cool with it, so I'm already home--yay!!!

Now to do laundry and dishes...
