Oh, a lot of the "Obama's gonna take our guns" rumors were started by gun and ammunition companies. Their sales are now through the roof....
I walk. I talk. I shop, I sneeze. I'm gonna be a fireman when the floods roll back. There's trees in the desert since you moved out. And I don't sleep on a bed of bones.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, pandas, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

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

Obama wanting to take away their guns.
Huh. Gun control doesn't even appear to be on the Obama administration's radar.
Before Obama, they wouldn't have been able to carry their guns around at the Virginia site either. True fax. Freaking nutjobs.

The Real Boston Tea Party – A Polite Response To Teabaggers
In an act reminiscent of San Francisco’s recent absurdist Westboro Baptist Church counter-protest, as well as the Prim Queer Tea party and Tweed Rides, a group of delightfully dapper Bostonians gathered on the Boston Common last week for an impeccably polite response to a visit by Sarah Palin and the Tea Party Express.
Propounding such principles as Good Tea, Good Food and Beautiful Clothing, the group’s website places special emphasis on etiquette:
Inoffensiveness. This, I suspect, may be the most controversial proposal. I think that we should attempt to have the world’s mildest, most inoffensive, polite counterprotest ever held. [Our] ideal would be for the press to come up to interview people about their opinions on tax policies and health care, and have responses such as, “Oh, dear, isn’t that a rather personal question?” and, “Really, I prefer not to discuss politics over tea. Would you care for a cup?”
Thus it was that even the patriotically-ballcapped teabagger shown below eventually joined them for a cup of tea. Civility and grace for the win!
The pictures are awesome!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
It's too bad they didn't have more people/get included in more of the media coverage. I really wanted to go! I guess I was glad to be at a job interview instead....

Oh, yes, the "We'll resist the activities of the evil federal government with our federally-protected right to bear arms," crowd.

Both last year and this year, there hasn't been school on April 20th. Strategically planned teacher work days instead.
No word back from my date yesterday. I sent a simple "thanks" e-mail yesterday evening. Guess I didn't pass muster.

I hate that, Suzi -- and even worse is when it's the bad dates that ask you out again immediately!

Because books.
It's still early, Suzi! Give it time.

I've pretty much been muttering about how today is a mofo since I got out of bed this morning.
