I'm so evil and... skanky. And I think I'm kinda gay.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh dear, Sheryl. Good luck with all of that.

Was it, "How to drink Margaritas?"

It was not! It was about being a freshman advisor, which I think is going to be fun.

Our wings are not tired.

Watching the debate. They are going to keep me up past my bedtime! No surprises. All in all the pace and format works well enough.

My takeaway, Tulsi Gabbard has outstanding posture.

The debate will thin out the field.

She was in the military, right?

The debate will thin out the field.

You'd think, but didn't someone new just announce this week???

Feel free to skip my take on the debate. Yes, I stayed up WAY past my bedtime because I needed to see it. 10 contenders on the stage. Some improved their chances, most didn't do anything to change perceptions. My personal take, briefly.
Warren: She was at the top of the pack, and increased that lead. It was hers to lose, and she had no missteps.
Castro: Introduced himself to many who don't know him. Sound on policy plans. I think he raised his profile.
Klobuchar: I felt she established her experience and centrist appeal.
O'Rourke: Actually lost ground. Failure to answer questions for one. Colbert commented that he was running for embarrassing dad at a Mexican restaurant. I did think his use of Spanish was pandering.
Gabbard: I actually thought she did very well, but this isn't her time.
Booker: I think he showed a certain command of the issues and raised his profile.
de Blasio: Doesn't have any chance, IMO, but I appreciated his Russia comments.
Delaney, Ryan, and Inslee were also there. I don't think they did anything to improve their chances.

Black coffee:

I actually fear tonight because it will be nastier. I hope not, but I don't have much hope for civility.

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

Laura's take is pretty much my take.

I am officially sick of leftovers from my party. So everything has been put in the freezer except for prosciutto and capicola which I will use to make some sort of pasta tonight.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I didn't watch, but I'm glad to hear Warren did well. I'm a fan. I'm also afraid to get attached, because it's going to be fucking Hillary all over again.
