Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Can I use a wet swiffer on a wood floor?

Now tagless for your comfort.

I do, Tom.

I've finally stopped hearing Roman Sebrele's last name as "Chevrolet". He's gorgeous and sort of bad ass.

More than just sorta. Dude's the reigning gold medal winner in the Decathalon and has won 5 of the last 7 world championships. When someone says "World's Greatest Athlete" it's him that I think of, not FlipperPhelps.

Also, no tan lines. (moderately NSFW)

I am so sorry about your friend's dad.

A friend I recently reconnected with through facebook has his status telling me that his grandpa died. I feel weird writing condolences on a Facebook wall, so I guess a private email is in order. Although, I could send a card to his parents as well.

Also, this is sort of reminding me that as much as I hated living in a small town where every knew each other and a lot of people were very judgy, I miss being there for things like that and want to go home, even though I didn't fit there.

I doubt he'll bring many more voters into the election than Obama would have already gotten by himself.

I disagree, in that I think he will prevent losing people to McCain (or nonvoting) on the experience issue. I know people (including my sister, a diehard Dem) who have serious questions about the team Obama will put together. Biden sends the signal that Obama also values experience. That will be important, especially to seniors hesitating over Obama.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Some of the speculation I was reading pre-text (and PEOPLE! DO NOT LEAK SPOILERS! SHEESH! BTW, the text came at 12:32 or something my time, about five minutes after I went to bed) said that they felt Biden would be able to make attacks, Biden-style, while freeing up Obama to take the high road.

I don't know.

Oh man. I am on a bus headed north of the city (shout out to Ho-Ho-Kus) and the 2 people talking in front of me just got called out by the driver! He got on the PA to say he could hear their every word and to shush it. Weirdnes is that they are strangers!

“Not dead yet!”

Dude... seriously UNCOOL behavior at Olympics Taekwando match

Especially ironic, given that he was awaiting "medical" attention.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Bryan Clay has a kinda Roland Gift thing going on. That's a good thing. See: [link]
