I got an email from a writer at a car website, asking for quotes. *hope*
Funny thing about black and white. You mix it together and you get gray. And it doesn't matter how much white you try and put back in, you're never gonna get anything but gray.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Making problems public, especially when someone else helps spread the news, can get some remarkable results. Remember the guy with his YouTube video about the airline (United?) destroying his guitar?
And I once had a survey company harass me for four months - calls every night, refused to put me on a "do not call" list - until I got a consumer reporter from the Post to write about it. The calls stopped real soon after that.

Why is Chicago so humid today? I thought I'd be able to leave that in DC.
Are you here long enough for a F2F?

Yeah. I came across a story last night of a black folk singer who was taken off a plane for reading a book about historical planes. That's all. They escorted him off the plane, checked his ID, looked at the book, and then put him back on the plane.
So he posted on his blog about it, but seriously. WTF. I hope he gets some press, because that's just stupid.

Because books.
Suzi, holy crap. Go you for keeping it together. Fingers crossed for the appointment later.

What now? How is that even remotely a problem?

Got me! Also, he's a big black guy. Which I suspect was a significant factor in the flight attendants' decision to call security.

re: OKGO and Muppets
That video made my fucking day. I'm going to have to bookmark it and watch it when I'm in a bad mood because I fucking loved it.
What I didn't like is the vocals on the song. OK Go's vocals are okay (no pun intended) for their style, but doesn't work on the song. This is a minor point given my level of enjoyment of the video.
I do really like a band with a sense of humor and creativity OK Go has that + more.

Aaaand an email came in from GM's Communications Manager (Western something or another).
They'll provide me with a loaner for at least a week.
