A year and a half ago, I could have eviscerated him with my thoughts. Now I can barely hurt his feelings. Things used to be so much simpler.

Yeah, that got mentioned by another person, and she admitted she should have checked it out.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
Juliebird,
In addition to what others have said, I have a question: is it possible for you to look for another job? I don't think that's an okay environment for you to be in if your boss is that bad. And I don't mean to be Negative Nancy here, but let's say your boss leaves, might they hire someone just as bad?
If I were in your position, I would start taking notes regarding this person's behavior, keeping a log, noting the things Scrappy has mentioned.
At this point, my justification for keeping the log would be to ward off attacks from my boss rather than going to her supervisors. Your boss sounds like a nightmare, and I'm not sure if she is capable of doing something negative to you (see Suela's anecdote). Keeping a log could be a nice defense in case something like this action would happen.
This log might also help you feel somewhat empowered in the meantime and not feeling like you have to be under this boss' thumb.

Things I didn't know about Elizabeth Taylor: [link]
In 1977, JTA reported that Taylor had offered herself as a hostage for the Air France hijack victims being held captive by terrorists at Entebbe, Uganda, before Israelis rescued them. That offer, made personally to Israeli Ambassador Simcha Dinitz, was graciously declined, but Dinitz told Taylor, “The Jewish people will always remember it.”

I'm pretty damn unmoved by the death of Taylor. I mean, I'm glad she beat the odds to have a long and fruitful life, but still to me she was just another pretty face from long ago.

You know, I don't really have much of a sense of Elizabeth Taylor before the big hair and Larry Fortensky and AIDS activism days. The only movie I've ever seen her in was Father of the Bride, and I think I saw that on an airplane.

Anyone know what these flowers might be? They are basically the size of my pinky nail. Teeny, teeny. I had them last year too, so they are I guess a bulb of some sort. [link] [link]

Maybe ipheion (starflower)? Mine are bigger, though, more like 3/4 inch. Hm, and ipheion are one bloom per stem, and it looks like you have two on some.
