We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

And this chick who called a friend of mine a band-wagon jumping liberal bigot.

Bigoted against Christianity, or something inane like that? Oy. Breathe deep, walk away.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Now tagless for your comfort.

People are wrong all over the internet today! My favorite is the people who keep harping on Obama's use of the teleprompter as the secret to his eloquence. I'm not sure they realize Bush used one but just had difficulty reading it.

You could have left off the "it".

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Aims, I'm trying not to respond to someone who insists that, if the statement "Jews have too much power" is antisemitic, then the statement "Whites have too much power" must be racist. Responding does no good and won't convince anyone of anything.

Wow--the Art Institute of Chicago will have free admission the entire month of February!

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

Aimee, step away. People are stooopid and the internets magnifies the stoopid.

And I am totally a liberal bigot, mostly because everytime Newt/Rush et al open their mouths I think, "if you were (still) in charge it would be one more step to an idiocracy!"

Ah. I've had a day already. But I got to talk about Camus and the Pantheon and Sarkozy this morning.

"You have too much access to the internet"

I was arguing with a friend who is deeply disappointed in Obama, but I think I'm coming around to his point of view.

Have any Chicagoans ever watched or participated in the Chitidarod? It's a great idea--teams of five people pull a grocery cart along a route through the city and, at the finish line, have to have at least 40 pounds of food in the cart for food pantries. The rules page is very fun to read:

The Chiditarod is Chicago's very own most important shopping cart race in the universe. The Iditarod is the famous long-distance race in which yelping dogs tow a sled across Alaska. Chiditarod is pretty much the same thing, except that instead of dogs, it's people; instead of sleds, it's shopping carts; and instead of Alaska, it's Chicago. Chiditarod is a one-of-a-kind event dedicated to self-expression, reclaiming our city for freaks of all varieties, food-raising for our city's disadvantaged, and creating copious amounts of epic.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
