Anyone have some helpful links to point an older person to about the reasons why a Federal Balanced Budget Amendment may not do what Faux says it will do?
Yeah. He's my hero.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I've got a lot of students from China, and the class lists that I get seem to have no logic at all behind how they sort out personal name and family name. Like, a kid with the personal name Jingmei and the family name Chen could be listed in different university computer systems as "Chen, Jingmei" or "Jingmei, Chen" or (I had one of these last semester that always screwed up the alphabetizing) "Meichen, Jing." Or sometimes "Jingmeichen" or "Meichenjing" or something else entirely. I get student lists from a few different university offices, and frequently have to check one list against a different one to make sure the same students are on both lists, and there will usually be several names that are written differently on the different lists.

Thanks, Scola. Marked and printed out and likely to be used several times.

Heh. Did you hear any of the gondeliers singing? It echoes very strangely of off the walls.
Did you look at the rare book store? When I was there in April, I was drooling over the window display of the first edition of Helen Keller's My Life autographed by her. I wanted that soooo much, but didn't have a spare $12,000 on me at the time.

I *love* pony play. LOVE.
Did I ever send you a link or have you seen Unmata's ode to pony play?
I don't think so. It doesn't sound familiar.

Yeah, I'm not sure what came over me. I'm usually so good about not reading them!
