That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Oh! And, literal bootstraps: [link]

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Post-lunch food coma. I can haz nap plz?

See? This is why people shouldn't be given food assistance. Eating makes them even lazier.

Oh my god. I'm a poster child. I am Romney's Willie Horton.

And we're under an air pollution alert because of smoke coming down from Idaho. Which explains the headache and chest ache.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

From Sullivan:

The Sane Right

Just a word to say that David Brooks' column is simply superb and to emphasize that both David Frum and Ramesh Ponnuru have made important points about why Romney is disgusting and wrong, respectively. Andrew Sprung has more. It gives me more hope that Romney's embrace of the base right of the GOP, if it leads to a big loss, may finally force the party to return to sanity.

All those linked articles are interesting. (I think the Brooks piece was linked to earlier?) I'm all in favor of the right-wing being sane.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I did love Julián Castro's line about that.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

David Brooks makes some good points, but then makes sure to say that we should be cutting disability and unemployment benefits, and Mitt is just a genuinely nice guy who says stupid stuff sometimes.

Yep, he lost me, there.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Owen had a field trip today that I could not go to because I had to take the van in for repairs. I came home from the mechanic's and found Owen's lunch on the table. *FAIL*

I called the school and they had the cafeteria pack him a lunch before they left so he did eat.

Does the guilt ever go away?

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Yay, Lee! Great news.

I love all of you and your spicy brains and your big hearts.

Every time I think about the dog thing, I think we are the dog in that situation, and I don't want a president who is going to tie me to the roof of the car while I shit myself in terror.

Exactly. I have been continuously horrified by the callousness and Olympic gold-level clueless privilege that man exhibits.
