There's an art reception just down the hall. I have a glass of champagne, sushi, cheese, homemade cookies, and someone's playing a really nice jazz bass set in the lobby. I'm not getting much work done, though.
Simon: I'm trying to put this as delicately as I can... How do I know you won't kill me in my sleep? Mal: You don't know me, son. So let me explain this to you once: If I ever kill you, you'll be awake, you'll be facing me, and you'll be armed.

Natter 64: Yes, we still need you

Radio talk show guy, on the Obama speech to schoolkids:
And Chris Stigall, a Kansas City talk show host, said, “I wouldn’t let my next-door neighbor talk to my kid alone; I’m sure as hell not letting Barack Obama talk to him alone.”
Huh? [link]

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
That guy has gotten Obama confused with Santa -- he can't actually make it to every kid's house in one day.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil
I'm very disappointed to listen to the local news here. Various Chicagoland school districts are letting the kids skip school that day if the parents want them to, and the superintendents are leaving it up to the principals to decide if they're going to show the speech at all.
Sigh.
ImycatN, she cracked me up tonight. I was watching Part 2 of The Beatles Anthology that I had dvr'd this afternoon, and was singing along with "All You Need Is Love" when she decided she needed to jump onto my chest and get some petting. So, she's doing her usual routine after walking on top of me, which is stand with her back paws on my stomach and her front paws on one of my shoulders and meowing full blast. But, her meows are coordinated with the music I'm singing!
"All you need is love..."
"Meow!!"
"All you need is love..."
"Meow!!"
"All you need is love, love"
"Meow!"
"Love is all you need"

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I’m sure as hell not letting Barack Obama talk to him alone.
This must be some strange new usage of the word "alone" that I was previously unaware of.

I may have to repress that for a little while. It makes me too angry.

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

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
Huh, I went to sleep about 9:30 last night -- when is the last time I got 9 hours of sleep w/o drugs being involved?
