Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

She should tell him that. I've met him twice and he's pretty damn sappy.

Make sure she investigates the programs she looks at very carefully--I know for example that some women's basketball programs at the college level are very anti-lesbian (to the point of smearing other programs and trying scare tactics on recruits' parents saying other programs will make your daugher a big gay and the coach is a big dyke, etc etc), and very much promote their "family friendly" aesthetic. Whereas others, while still mostly insisting their players be vaguely on the DL are fairly cool with it. (I have a couple queer friends who played college level ball). Obviously when it's not such a team sport, it might be very different, but...

The status is NOT quo.

So that's where he disappeared to. I was beginning to wonder.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

So my baby girl is 5 now! Ye gads.

We went to a kindergarten playdate, she opened her presents from mom and dad, and grandpa came to visit, but mostly today was spent cleaning house for tomorrow. Now me tired.

I do believe in killing the messenger, you know why? Because it sends a message. ~ Damon Salvatore

my kind of athlete. not to mention Paul Hamm's performance directly following all of that mayhem.

men's gymnastics lacked a lot for me this year without the two of them competing.

Art Crawl!!!

Wow - 5 years old!

Did you guys catch the track commentators getting on the British guy for showboating when he came in first in the heat for the 4x400 relay?

If they hadn't mentioned it I wouldn't have noticed it!

(BTW, WTF happened to the Jamaicans in that relay - I was expecting MORE.)

Obama's email reached me 16 hours ago (according to gmail) - that makes it about 9 am Central or about 8 hours after I saw it on the news.
