Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

They announced the MacArthur awards yesterday; one of the recipients, Rev. Barber, was in Chicago, protesting ... and, seemingly, being arrested.

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated

personally, I am not playing a long murder-y con,

That's just what someone playing a long mutder-y con would say! You could easily be the unwitting lure Murderbiscuit is using to bring is all into his murder-y orbit.

One universal constant is how damn lazy I am. WAY too lazy to murder and definitely too lazy to plan out the long con for it. (Though Murderbiscuit *could* be using me as a pawn. Shit, he probably is.)

And axe murders are SO messy! clean-up requires much too much effort.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Wow. What times we live in.

My drive to work apparently coincided perfectly with the cloture vote that NPR was covering live so now I am filled with equal parts impotent rage and resignation. My poor coworkers.

I would really like to opt out of today. Is there a checkbox for that?

Agreed. And if you find the checkbox, let me know.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Yes, please. I would like that checkbox too.

Looks like Kavanaugh will be confirmed tomorrow. I doubt they would have advanced things if they didn't have the vote.

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

That is awesome. Is she not interested in meeting internet axe murderers yet?

She's met me and Emmett!

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
