Can it be the end of the day now?

Last night I made the kind of nasty, sweeping generalization about Libertarians that I generally loathe ( edit to clarify that it is GENERALIZATIONS I loathe) . I knew even before I did it that it was a mistake. Why I said it is a matter for my own introspection, and irrelevant here. It has now been deleted, as has my crappy non-apology.

I am aghast at myself, and apologize to the entire board and especially to anyone whose feelings I may have hurt. Buffistas is sometimes the only place I feel I belong, and the fact that I single-handedly created an inhospitable atmosphere for others is unacceptable. I have hurt people I care about and respect, and have likely damaged many peoples' opinions of me, perhaps irrevocably. I have to live with that.

What I should have said, and am saying now, is this: I don't know much about Libertarians, and suspect I may have a distorted view of the party and its platform. Surely we have Libertarians on the board; can anyone point me to some good links so I can get a better understanding?

Again, I am sorry. It was a stupid and assholish thing to say.

I will likely not be around much the rest of the day, due to work and trying to get out of town. I will be checking email. Feedback, cluesticks, and educational links always welcome at my profile addy.

There was farfalle with a wild boar ragu that was to die for.

That sounds kind of awesome.

I definitely want to go back and sit at the bar for the burger.

That's been my plan (except I'd probably find things on the menu to graze on). They also do a brunch, which sounds intriguing.

and see, that is why we get to have a nice board. Everyone has their days.

Exactly what I was going to say.

Everyone has their days.

Sometimes you just don't notice the guac until you step in it.

How much is the tasting menu, Jesse?

I am kind of embarrassed to say.

What msbelle said, smonster, and thank you.

the London mascots look exactly how I would have expected them to look. They're straight out of the CBeebies lineup.

Ah ha ha! I was just saying almost exactly this to Hec before I got to your comment (plus bonus Kat-echoing Muno reference). I also image Googled the Doctor Who adipose aliens for him. Freaky and horrible, sure, but completely unsurprising.

The Grace At Home and Noah Sharing updates are so great. It seems like it was just a few weeks ago that you posted the completely unbelievable news that Grace might be coming home soon, and now here she is, already there. Your home is full of Grace.
