Fred: So you don't worry that it's possible for someone to send out a biological or electronic trigger that effectively overrides your own sense of ideals and values and replaces them with an alternative coercive agenda that reduces you to a mindless meat puppet? Shopkeeper: Wow. People used to think that I was paranoid.

And I don't want mine paying Joe Lieberman's salary

Oh, good one. I wonder if I can sue retroactively over Gingrich and Santorum.

And, you know, if it gets too crazy, the heart attack will probably kill him anyway. Win-win? (gosh, I can't believe I'm still so single. Or that D'Hoffryn hasn't called me yet.)

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

do not EVEN get me started on that. It's fucking legal! I completely respect that some people disagree on the moral rightness of it, but the fact is that it is legal. If a Jehovah's Witness said that the health care bill shouldn't cover vaccinations because they were against their religious tenets, would that be okay? And why the fuck are they covering Viagra? Unless there is a married, childless couple who is actively trying to have a child, using viagra for sexual purposes is a sin.

Our wings are not tired.

If the pharmaceutical companies made as much on abortions as they do on Viagra the call for funding might be skewed differently.

The issue with Kennedy and communion dates back a couple years. Not sure on why it is being released now. Apparently the bishop told Kennedy he should refrain from taking the sacrament, but didn't forbid it or tell priests they shouldn't provide him communion.

Ah politics. I don't want to be at work. I would much rather be home cooking. Food talk making me hungry...

I think it was minor news a few years ago in RI when it happened. Or at least it sounds vaguely familiar to me. Ridiculousness.

I'm trying to convince my brain that seeing friends tonight is not a reason to panic. Stoopid brain.

OB update: I have an appointment with a new OB on Wednesday! Here's hoping it goes well and I can switch. He has great reviews and just the fact that he's willing to see me at 35 weeks when so many aren't I'm thinking are good signs. I so hope I can get the hell away from my current OB! Please to send the ~ma my way Wednesday.

Good luck, GC! That would be so wonderful if you can switch.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"

Much ~ma, GC!

Also, calm~ma for sj's brain.

Wow, I'm sobbing over the phone at a lot of people today. Thank God for friends with useful advice, though.
