Jesse - Rafi plays tonight so that should be fun.
And Venus!
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.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I saw a local editorial about how Obama should have release a copy of the address to the school kids so the wingnuts wouldn't be able to do what they've done or at least look extra silly.
The comments were of course mixed people deriding the columnist and talking about how outrageous an action the president was taking. Not all, but probably about half. The funny part was after a string of anti-Obama posts a comment about how the site was all pro-Obama and the anti-Obama posts would all be deleted.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I can't tell if the second commenter on that page knows they're linking to a parody news site or not.

Mostly, I find it ironic that parents are protesting a "stay in school" speech by...pulling their kids out of school. Classy!

I have a short day today since they are letting us go at 3:00 (and feeding us pizza for lunch) and Monday off, but I have nothing more exciting than chores and catching up on TV planned.
I have the same, except substitute "pizza for lunch" with "have very difficult come to Jesus meeting with my junior staffer regarding an official complaint about her behavior". Ugh.

It's stories like this that make me sad that TDS is on hiatus right now.

This is possibly one of the best legalize-gay-marriage ads I've seen. [link] Although the first ten seconds or so seem more like one the Maine tourism ads.
I heart my home state.

The Obama school speech has just blown up in my district. The school board is debating it tonight - the proposal on the table is that the speech be shown only at middle and high schools, and then only in social studies classes, with a parental opt-out form sent home in advance.
I should note that my school district is overwhelmingly poor and minority, and there is a high drop-out rate. I can't think of anything better than having the nation's first black president tell my daughter and her first-grade classmates that education can lead to success in life.

I find myself hoping Obama will release a "Don't jump off a cliff" speech to see how many people will do just that out of spite.
