Frank, deeply sorry for the loss of your Mom.
Natter 70: Hookers and Blow
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I'm sorry for your loss, Frank.
new post to ask: where did we talk about Sherlock? I just finished up the second series tonight.
Why, why, why do I wander around the Atlantic website beyond the safe haven of TNC's blog? No good can come of it.
Latest installment: pompous blowhard insists that the 2012 Dem party platform on abortion is Bad Bad Bad because it talks about things like affordable healthcare and childcare and various social services aimed at enabling women to choose to carry their pregnancies to term without fear of impoverishing themselves or their families -- which by most estimates would eliminate roughly a quarter of the abortions sought each year -- but has dropped the word "rare," which clearly means they're trying to ignore the moral dimension. The practical effect of enactment of this platform, 25% fewer actual abortions performed, is less meaningful to pompous blowhard than the presence or absence of the word "rare," because practical good works are apparently less moral than finger-wagging.
Please, please keep me from engaging with this fucknugget.
Maybe I should demand that Hec make me a second martini, which would render me incapable of finding the keyboard. It may be the only solution.
I'm about to go to bed, but tomorrow is going to be People Day on the Good Stuff. I have four lined up. Anyone want to pick a lady/picture off Provocateuse?
Jesse: I vote Audrey, Claire Danes or Iman.

Oooh, that reminds me! Louise Brooks! Although venus rising is deplorably low on Brooks. I need to send a few of my personal favorites over.
Jesse, I sent a Susan Sarandon to the queue.
Frank, I'm so sorry for your loss but glad that it was peaceful.
I don't think I've been caught up in this thread for a couple of weeks. Two shows that I designed opened last night and two shows at the day job close tomorrow. Today I've been a sloth.
"The Rainbow Menace"
I'm sure I've told this story before. A friend's niece and nephew were trying on their Halloween costumes. The nephew jumped in front of his sister saying, "I'm Batman and I'm gonna get you." The niece stands up puts a hand on each hip and replies, "Oh yeah? I'm Rainbow Bright and I'm gonna kick your ass!"
