You know that problem people sometimes have where their email address gets mixed up with someone else? I got that with some Saudi woman also named Norah. So today I got an email from some travel agency with the Subject line: Payment request. Anyone know how to translate from Farsi to English?

He's not perfect, but goddamn, I'm gonna miss the Obamas in the White House.

Anyone know how to translate from Farsi to English?

Do they speak Farsi in Saudi? Isn't it Arabic? Farsi would be for Persia/Iran, no?

You can copy and paste the email to translate.google.com and it should detect the language for you, Burrell.

SO MUCH. As much as I love Hillary and Bill (and I do), I'm going to miss the hell out of the Obamas.

And my goodness, I sometimes forget just how good of a speaker Pres. Obama is when he's allowed to cut loose.

Man, that was an awesome speech. The GOP is upset because Obama stole their schtick: city on a hill, American exceptionalism, morning in America, etc. (Someone on Twitter pointed out that they sold it for a dime to a thick-fingered vulgarian.)

I'm full of hope again about this election.

But still: DOWNTICKET RACES, people. Hillary needs a Congress she can work with!

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

The status is NOT quo.

Just watched Obama. As always, so powerful! He makes me hopeful...as does she.

...but, on a geeky sidenote, as he was talking about the difference between the cynical, dark vision of America and the America of optimism and hope, did anyone else flash to the Craig Ferguson cold open?
