Yeah, that's... not practicable. It's my ankles to my neck, and down my arms.

... and now my ears itch.

Topical won't do it. I'ma go back to bed for a while and then walk down to Walgreens.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yikes, Suela. That sounds like a nightmare.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Tino, thy name is Fucko.

Thanks for sending the 2009 Income Caps AFTER I figured everything out using the 2008 numbers. That was fantastic.

Could be worse.

I'm just itchy. Pretty much everywhere.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Kucinich was just playing hard to get

This morning, Rep. Dennis Kucinich, D-Ohio, will hold a press conference to announce how he’s voting on healthcare reform. Since he has up to this point been a "no" vote, the fanfare presumably means he’s changed his mind.

..

Opposing the bill would have ended any future he might have had as an influential figure in the progressive movement. Kucinich was hoping for a more progressive bill, and thought that by holding out he might pull his party leftward on the issue. If he'd ended up voting against reform, he almost certainly would have had the opposite effect.

At the New Republic, Jon Chait chalks up the apparent change of heart to the Ohio congressman’s sympathy for the uninsured. "Kucinich may be crazy but he's not... well, he is kind of stupid. Okay, he may be crazy and stupid, but he's not completely indifferent to the plight of the disadvantaged. So he's got that going for him."

Heh.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Suela, in case you didn't know, you can take 2 benadryl at a time, no matter what the package says. I'd space the doses out by 6-8 hours.

I got a terrible rash from the penicillin one time, so I know. What was hilarious about that was, by the time I finally went to the doctor about it, it was much better. The Dr. took one look and said, "That's BETTER???" Um, yeah?

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

The people at Firedoglake are flipping their shit about the Kucinich rumors. It's probably wrong of me to be enjoying it so much. OTOH, until he actually gets up at the podium I'm not sure we can predict what he's going to say.

(Also. Rachel Maddow is a corporatist mouthpiece from their perspective? Seriously? Good luck with your "overthrow the corporatist two-party state" plan guys. Worked so well in 2000.)

Two space heaters have been acquired and already are making a difference... although the day is supposed to get up to the low 60s. We'll still be glad to have them tonight. Next mission: Operation Electric Blanket, which Target had also sent back to the seasonal warehouse....
