"already on the kiss-cam with Karl Marx"-

Nancy Pelosi rocks...SF+ Balmer is apparently quite the cocktail.

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

Too combat this issue of Protestantism being an overly general term that few people associated with, we also looked at a broader range of terms related to Christian denominations in the US and discovered patterns that are incredibly clear. Catholics are most visible in much of the Northeast and Canada, with Lutherans taking the Midwest, Baptists the Southeast, and Mormons unsurprisingly taking much of the mountain states. Methodists, interestingly, seem to primarily be most visible in a thin red line between the Southern Baptists and everyone else. The obvious (and farcical question) is against whom are they forming a defensive barrier?

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

I had trouble getting to sleep last night -- first there was a good TAR and then I had to keep updating to find out what was happening with the Health Care vote.

Coding and Sleeping

It'll be interesting to see how things play. The Repubs have been making so much noise about how the world will end if it passes, that it'll be interesting to see how things play when it doesn't. They can make the argument that many of the provisions don't kick in right away, which is true, but I don't think it's a strong argument on an emotional level. The Dems are still doomed in the mid-term no matter what since the economy still sucks, but it's still interesting.

Yeah. I can picture Repubs saying, "If we allow Obama and Pelosi to pass legislation X, we'll be living in a socialist country!"

Average Joe Republican: "Wait, I thought we were already living in a socialist country. So what does it matter if they pass legislation X?"

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
