The speed of the internet is a thing of beauty.
Hey, if it means I don't have to read any more, woo and, might I add, a big hoo.

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.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Trust my rage
Am I the only one who giggled that all the sitting-grim people were, to a person, old white guys?
I notice that the Dem side was so vibrant looking and the Repub shots were all white guys with colorful ties.

I expect Palin/Wilson unless we catch him with a live boy or a dead girl.

The Boy had a board meeting tonight and missed the speech, and he just called while driving home. The following conversation ensued:
Me: "A Congressman actually HECKLED the president!"
The Boy: "...did Rahm Emanuel punch him in the face?"
Me: "Regarding the 'death panels,' Obama surprised everyone by killing and eating an elderly person on camera."
The Boy: "I would have thought John McCain was too stringy to eat raw."

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020
Me: "Regarding the 'death panels,' Obama surprised everyone by killing and eating an elderly person on camera."
The Boy: "I would have thought John McCain was too stringy to eat raw."
Nah. McCain's been marinating in bitterness since the sixties.
He's just...tart.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Good speech. Not happy about the not-funding-abortions thing, but I'm holding on to hope that that will be eroded away once the thing is finally done. Otherwise? What a joy to have an erudite president whom I can listen to without cringing.
And Wilson actually called him a liar. Un-fucking-believable.
