At least I haven't passed out yet. That's my ultimate stupid human trick.

Emmett passed out last week. He'd been flopping on the couch all day, stood up, stretched and said, "Whoa! Head rush!" and then I heard a thump and he was on the floor saying, "What happened? Why am I down here?"

It's a not uncommon thing to happen with teenagers, but it was still odd and he kept laughing about it and saying, "I don't remember it happening?"

"Right," I would reply, "because of the unconsciousness."

You can see the competition when you notice Noah's grip on Grace's arm.

I know! They are nutty.

Is it weird that I think, "I'm glad Newt won. Because at least it wasn't Santorum."

That photo is too funny. I like the idea of soda jerk as mixologist, and I like the idea of fancy shmancy ice cream treats. We have a fancy shmancy new ice cream store in our neighborhood and I loves it.

Weird no, disheartening, yes. I can't imagine how I'd feel about it if I were Republican. I'd be even angrier than I already am.

I have such a visceral dislike for Newt. As in, why can't everyone see through him? It's all about him. He doesn't really give a shit about anything except him. He doesn't believe in anything except what sounds good and gets him attention. No principles, just what gets him the limelight. He really believes what he believes at that moment only, when it is convenient for him. He's the epitome of mob mentality, just a mob of one. FUCK YEAH I"M AWESOME!!!

He scares me a little more than even a true-believer in something I find an anathema.

Right? It's literally on the way home from Matilda's school so we can stop by and get treats on hot days.

I believe I've been clear about my feelings towards Newt. Intellectually, I can see that his win may help Obama, but the idea that anyone would vote for him for anything except Mr Toxic Waste makes me ill.

What's dangerous about the milkshake?

Your yard may be of inadequate volume to hold all the boys.

Agreed, sara, but he's also this weird angry mouthpiece for insanity. BUT, Santorum is plain evil.

Also, Romney, interestingly, comes across as vaguely apolitical. Great NYT article about how he approaches life like case studies. It's not the X within the context of everything. It's X right now in this case. Because of that, he's vaguely apolitical which would explain some of the things that happened during his time in MA. It's almost as if he saw this as the solution to this problem without the political bigger picture.

I also think it's shocking how much Gingrich won by.
