The Baltimore Sun reported that Simon was told to contact a DC lawyer on a personal matter, and he was afraid he was getting sued or something.
They should film that story and show it every Christmas.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
The MacArthur Foundation also gave my DH's non-profit $500,000 last week w/ no strings attached to the money. Not a genius grant, but still awesome.
Congrats to them!

At first they didn't understand what was happening, because they just got a phone call that said they were getting the money, and some paperwork would arrive that they'd need to sign. The paperwork came like an hour later, and the money arrives as a lump sum in a couple of weeks.
I keep sending my DH suggestions of how to spend it. I'm not sure he appreciates my input.

Woot! I love that David Simon got a Genius grant even though I'm fairly bitter about how not good Treme is. Simon has a lot of love capital in reserve.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Basic Religion Test Stumps Many Americans
Forty-five percent of Catholics did not know that their church teaches that the consecrated bread and wine in holy communion are not merely symbols, but actually become the body and blood of Christ.
