I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

My boss left early, sometime in the last 30 minutes. His office is in another office building, so I have no way of knowing that. I just directed someone to call him and speak about something. Grr. Nice keeping me informed!

So my question is, is there a better link? Not a rhetorical question

Also, maybe the Congressional Budget Office? They should know more than anyone else where the money goes.

Oh, and if you're looking for non-Tea Party conservatives, I read Daniel Larison at The American Conservative pretty regularly. He's an old-school conservative, seems very rational and sensible.

Our wings are not tired.

Yep, I read that site too, and in fact linked to it on FB a few days ago.

Thanks for the CBO link!

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

I drove all the way to CVS in the cold and dark and after-work traffic, and when I got out to feed the meter discovered that I'd left my wallet home. So... two round trips instead of one. Feh. Have I mentioned lately how much I HATE DST? I'd much rather have sunset later when I still have a brain.

Some of those people on the Mourning Romney tumblr are like staffers and volunteers who worked their hearts out for the last year or so, so I can't take too much schadenfreude because I know they were at least sincere. The problem is that too many of them are living in a bubble they don't even know is there.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Going to Philcon tomorrow after work. Will get to see Sox for more than 2 minutes. Also, great guests.

This seems like the sort of thing Jilli would want to know about, if she doesn't already:

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Some of those people on the Mourning Romney tumblr are like staffers and volunteers who worked their hearts out for the last year or so,

Guess how Romney repaid their loyalty?

From the moment Mitt Romney stepped off stage Tuesday night, having just delivered a brief concession speech he wrote only that evening, the massive infrastructure surrounding his campaign quickly began to disassemble itself. Aides taking cabs home late that night got rude awakenings when they found the credit cards linked to the campaign no longer worked.

He didn't even let them get home before he cut off the cards.

Thrive to spite them

She's a cutie! I kinda like Sadie.

It looks like Allen West is going to fight tooth and nail to try and keep his spot.
