So, they had to go to Randolph, Utah, population 480, to find people who still like the president?

And any article that contains this line must be worth reading:
"Dijon mustard," Louderman says as the woman drives away. "I don't know what Dijon mustard is. Don't care to find out, either."

Can I move there? Please?

Democrats Split Over Filibuster On Alito: "Some Republicans poked fun at Kerry -- the 2004 Democratic presidential nominee, who may make another White House bid -- for allowing others to announce the filibuster plan earlier in the day while he was attending an economic conference in Davos, Switzerland."

Er, I'm not understanding where the fun-poking comes in. "Haha, you were in Switzerland!" Whaaat?

I spent a great deal of time yesterday updating my del.icio.us links. There are lots of sites on here. I'm a nerd. Thanks to Mr. X for introducing me to this very cool thingymabobber.

Dude, I'm way too tired to be awake right now.

Of course, this argument relies on unquestioned ideas of economic efficiency and "a better life."

Why America Has to Be Fat

Ok, let me rephrase. I don't just feel chills. I feel nauseating fear and disgust in the pit of my stomach. Did it only take 30 years for people to forget what it was like in a pre-Roe America? Are people really so ignorant about abortion that they believe it doesn't happen when it's illegal?

Most importantly, is the "pendulum" really swinging against Roe, or is this a media-generated story without a solid basis in reality, as too many reporters' stories are? I can only hope...

Protesters See Mood Shift Against 'Roe'

These things give me chills. And wait--people who are antiabortion, and yet wear t-shirts that say "sex is good, the pill is bad"? Errrr...

Serious, serious, fearful chills.

The funny of next Tuesday: The State of the Union address. I'm all about getting some peeps together for watching and drinking and lamenting. Who wants to help me come up with the 2006 rules for the SOTUA drinking game? Good times, good times.

Call me ignorant, but I hadn't realized that someone actually invented smallpox blankets, as an intentional attempt at biological warfare. I thought it was just kind of a gross oversight. We're worse than I thought.

So, I guess winter had to come sometime. I can't really complain, considering that for most of January we had awesome 50 and 60 degree days, but I thought we were only supposed to get "light snow"?

And I definitely slipped on the Icy Walkway of Death outside my house this morning. That was awesome.

Book Details

A woman is fired from her job as school bus driver when the school district finds out she's a practicing pagan. Ok, so this story is about some very serious things, like civil rights, religious freedom, and bigotry, but there are too many humorous elements here for me to leave it alone, and not just because practicing pagans are inherently funny.

I mean, her vampire husband is running for governor? "Being a witch involves a complex of actions that puts children in jeopardy?" The best part? The school district doesn't feel that she can be a good role model, as a witch bus driver. Since when is the school bus driver meant to be a role model?
