I took a stab at my room, but broke out sweating just from hanging up clothes. That does not seem right.

I decided that rice might sound good, so I put some on.

I ate half a piece of dry toast, woohoo.

Okay, I have to share this:

Mitt Romney does not understand why airplane windows don't open.

t facepalm

isn't it a pressure thing? (he supposedly went to better schools than me...certainly flew more...tell me this is a strategy for the dipshit demographic?

I've said in a couple places that I really hope that that was a failed attempt at dry humor. Because the alternative has apparently found the "too horrible to tolerate" line

I think at our school 4th graders and older are allowed to walk home by themselves, if you sign a form saying so. But I never see any kids not being met by a parent. Casper could do it, but I don't really trust her to wrangle Dillo home.

Kids aren't allowed to walk home by themselves? When I was in elementary school, I think the only parents who picked up kids to walk them home were the parents of kindergarteners who had no older siblings, and even then, most of the ones who didn't have to cross any streets alone walked by themselves after the first few weeks of school.

For our school's location, it makes sense. My kids have to cross a 4-lane major commuting artery (has a light) and second 4-lane street with a fair amount of traffic (to get to a light they would have to go a block past their school and then come back; we cross at a place where there's no light, but I don't think either kid has the judgment to do that by themselves). There's a crossing guard at one intersection on the other side of the school.

Debet,

Lizz Winstead wondered if Romney was a figurehead for Bain and that he really was stupid and that others working at Bain did the intellectual work.

Can those who lived in MA during his governor years clarify things a bit. I think I'm coming around to Lizz's musings.

I suppose it is possible. That would require me to do a pretty substantial re-working of my interpretation of his personality, but facts should dictate theory, not vice-versa.

tell me this is a strategy for the dipshit demographic?

I always wonder this but it's become so hard to tell.

I saw a comment that he has become the Ted Baxter of politics.
