South Carolina now requires "subversives" to register
If only they had that form in 1860.
I don't give a good gorram about relevant, Wash. Or objective. And I ain't so afraid of losing something that I ain't gonna try to have it. You and I would make one beautiful baby. And I want to meet that child one day. Period.

What if senators represented people by income or race, not by state?
The Great Compromise was intended to make sure the big states didn't trample the little guys. But today, with 37 more states on the scene, the little ones wield disproportionate power. "Half of the population of the nation lives in 10 states, which have 20 senators. The other half lives in 40 states that have 80 senators," says the official Senate historian, Donald Ritchie. Small states and states whose representatives might tip the balance on a key vote make out like bandits, as their senators demand outsize appropriations in return for their support. The Nelson fracas was nothing other than the Senate working exactly as it was designed to.
An interesting article speculating on if the Senate was modeled after demographics instead of states.

But stretching out these sore muscles would've been soooooo goooooood. Eating some oatmeal, then wine at the end of the block.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I decided to try a lean cuisine for lunch today instead of a TJs lunch.
SO not a good idea.

We had leftovers from the Superbowl party. Chips and dip with meatballs and pulled pork sandwiches.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Are cat owners really top dogs for brains?
It is a claim calculated to have rival pet lovers fighting like cat and dog.
According to a scientific study, cat owners tend to be cleverer than their dog-loving counterparts.
It found that university graduates were more likely to favour feline companionship - possibly because they work longer hours and have less time to go out for long walks.
Those with degrees were 36 per cent more likely to have a cat than others, including dog-lovers.

Re: sushi.
My pre-packaged sushi lunch--you get what you can in Utah--contains what it calls inari. I thought inari was a block of rice with fish on top, but this is a block of rice inside a thin, fried envelope of batter. It's a tasty vehicle for soy sauce, but I"m not sure it's inari.
