The dress code at my office is you have to be dressed. People pretty much wear whatever they want.

This is why I will have to work at Microsoft until I become an independently wealthy gothy icon. No dress code. I still am occasionally asked if it's a holiday in my country, but I'm used to that.

Jilli, it should always be a holiday in your country (if so, can I file for citizenship?).

To change the subject ... does anyone have any kind of a take on the Sarah Palin-Joe McGinnis kerfuffle? There have been allegations on both sides ... and he did pull out "Nazi"

She's being kind of ridic. I hadn't heard about the Nazi comment though. Also, he's apparently getting that place for a steal because Palin stiffed the person who owns it for some repairs.

And she pretty strongly implied pedophilia. I don't much care for either, but I think Bible Spice wins the creepiness contest in this one by many many furlongs.

Oh, speaking of shoes, I have some I should offer to a good home. They're red patent, open toe, low heel, size 9, I think? If anyone's interested, I could take pictures over the weekend.

I had forgotten about that part TB. Mostly she's making a big deal out of nothing.

I haven't been following the rhetoric that much, but at a basic level I'm sort of with Palin on this one. It sounds kind of creepy to have a guy writing a book about you renting out the house next door.

Why? I mean, if I'm writing a book about, say, Pelosi, I'm probably going to rent places in D.C. and S.F. to get access. Were those places smaller, it would be likely I'd at least maybe be in the same neighborhood, and if someone near her offered me a place for cheap (especially in SF) I'd totally live next door.

Are they fairly narrow, Jesse?

Not only should it always be a holiday in Jilli's country, it should always be Halloween, so she can have a ready answer to that other high-larious joke about how Halloween isn't for months.

Also, this country should be called "Buffista Island".
