Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

That which does not kill you should RUN

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."

I can do this all day

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.

The Boy: "...did Rahm Emanuel punch him in the face?"

You know, it occurs to me that there has been a disappointing lack of Rahm Emanuel face punching since all this started. I think Rahm should be giving republicans the pimp hand every day before breakfast.

Trust my rage

I almost feel that Wilson's comment was so out of line that it hurts his side. I saw via Twitter that McCain called on him to apologize.

Eta: and yes, we need more Rahm Emmanuel.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Holy crap, Federer.

I want a Rahm Emmanuel action figure. Now with Kung-Fu grip!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Dana, I was half an hour behind, and I skipped right ahead because it looked like Soderling was going to break Federer's serve in the opening game. Boy, was I surprised!

Oh, hey, I wanted to ask someone this, but I am alone in my living room, so I ask you: I saw many Repubs waving white papers with apparent determination. What were those? I missed the first bit of the speech, maybe it was made clear then.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.

I asked that during the speech but have gotten no answers.
