Hey everyone. Remember, the comments here are a reflection of the authors, and the author/authors hope that you all find your own gems and all that.
So, I only have a few tonight, so I'm hoping for major help from you, the community. Yes, you. (the one reading this). Basically, I've had a very long day. It started inconspicuously enough by driving to a job fair in Boston. Not much at said job fair, though the Army was there! Anyways, after checking that out and checking on some things I've applied to, I started driving back. Here's where the story gets interesting. I'd say I must have started at around 3PM. After I get some water to combat the 100+ degree heat (HEY DOOCEY, GLOBAL WARMING IS REAL), my front right tire decides to pull a GBCW and go flat just outside Natick. Yeah, that was fun. So, I called AAA and got my donut put on. I also decided to get off the Mass Pike to avoid popping the donut. That would have been okay, except once I had to go through Springfield to get home, it seemed every freakin' tree in the city fell in the middle of the street. During rush hour. In that heat!
So, I finally got home around 8ish. Sorry if I'm a little grumpy, but I'm still a little blah. Luckily, I've got a few of my own gems, and then some great stuff from the Commenteers (Unlike the Planeteers, they don't get rings, but they have been known to summon Comment diaries to highlight great stuff... LIKE THIS!)

gloriana hasn't given us anything for the evening. This could have to do with her birthday, but I blame laziness (snark). If she posts, tip accordingly.
Finally, some stuff from me:
serrano figures out why Lieberman gave some form of love to Alito.
RenaRF finds some CTG in Lieberman's campaign. Too bad it's showing up in Lieberman's campaign.
Illinois Democrat snarks, we read it.
daulton, inclusiveheart, and Flippant discuss the GOP destruction of the American Public Relations machine.
That's it for me... Also, I'll hopefully get the mojorific ones soon... if anyone can format it to me, that would be incredible... I'm going a little crazy, but I may be able to get to it soon. Happy reading and hunting!
