I don't have any particular insight into the Petraeus debacle.
I would like to find the list of embassy deaths, though, since 1990. I'm just too lazy to look.
Dinner is kale salad with lemon chicken and for dessert sweet potato pie.

Oh man, the P4 stuff just took another turn for the weirder.
Good lord, what a clusterfuck.
I want dinner I want to not spend more money, but I don't want anything in the house. I would like Kats dinner to magically sppear through the tubes, please. It sounds delicious and healthy. (What? Sweet potatoes are veggies! It's so good!)

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
This is now sounding like a Coen Brothers movie.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
My sister and I know the same two words of Swahili. The one that sounds like her name, and the one that sounds like mine.
We are such children.
I am trying to commit today that no matter what other food is on hand, two snacks a day will be fruit (maybe veg, but that's unlikely).
Let's see if I remember to stop by the grocery on the way home.
It's just finally *quiet* at work. Shit's getting done.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
I'm pretty sure that most of these traditions are just Ashkenazic. And I know that German Jews are more OK with giving someone the same name as a living person than Eastern European Jews are. German Jews who came to the US would frequently imitate the "American" traditions and name the first son after the father, while Eastern European Jews who came to the US would almost never do that.
A friend of mine is Ashkenazic and her husband is Sephardic. They named their son for his living father, she felt weird about it... and felt weird about feeling weird about it.
And of all the things to be irritated about... Kevin Clash isn't a voice actor, he's a puppeteer.
