Oh...and how cool is this: my cat is trying to get into the liquor cabinet. I think she wants GIN.
I’ve tried about 79 times to start writing something interesting. I have yet to succeed. I’m tired after a week of faculty orientation. Getting ready for school to start is just a tricky time of year. The time is pregnant with expectation, but there is nothing to do but wait. So, after orientation stuff next week, the real thing starts for us. I’m ready to have a room full of middle schoolers trying to learn to understand the world.
AND on top of being tired...I realized at the gym that I didn't eat my afternoon snack...so I returned home feeling lousy. Oh, and I got to go back to school to fight the invasion of the yellow jackets. But I've had dinner now, and I just wish there were gallons of ice cream here. Thankfully, there is a big bottle of Bombay Sapphire!
In the mean time, tonight’s TOP COMMENTS:
Arriving late last night, from lamzdotes:
mikeconwell's letter to his sweetheart from the brutal frontlines in the War on Gibson, attached to Hunter's diary, Losing the Home Front. No, I Mean The Really Home Front.
From Grace:
DH from MD discusses Kos's mind control technology.
From Samer:
For why the Bush PR flaks might be the Worst People in the World.
From Noor B:
My, it's early in the day for something this good. I want to see more Democrats take this position and articulate it fiercely. Cry "BULLSHIT!!" loudly and publicly and let the chips fall where they may. Shame these bastards into spluttering idiocy. We've got nothing to lose and everything to gain. khreva says...
From Sardonyx:
After frandor55 posits why the Democratic leadership in Congress is so timid, MadRuth asks an unanswerable question.
Naranjadia speculates as to the source of poor Tony Snow's true wealth.
From mem from somerville:
As perfectly framed as: "Please take my guns. I have nothing to shoot anyway." I would like to nominate prodigal's question for a Republican candidates' debate.
From Asimbagirl in the comments.
