And now what did you do TODAY?

[Absorbine_Sr]

Why wouldn't you trust her, Wayne? She's not a liberal, is she?

I LOL'd.

[Wmcmanus]

What makes you think I don't trust liberals, Ken?

[grawk]

oh, that's easy, everyone knows santa hates liberals.

[shellylh]

I LOL'd.

This!

[guzziguy]

Actually, she is. She's black, so there's a 98% chance that she'll be an Obama supported. Of course, it has nothing to do with race.

I see that you are a Sunuunu supporter. Reminds me of a great joke going around back when Bush Sr. was president:

Q. If you had Saddam Hussein, Moamar Ghaddafi and John Sunuunu in a room and had a gun with 2 bullets, who would you shoot?

A. John Sunuunu, twice.

[Absorbine_Sr]

I LOL'd again. Ken's on a streak.

[cutestory]

O, too, LOL'd.

[shellylh]

Grant writing all weekend and all tomorrow. Sigh. I can't wait for Tuesday. I did get out for a short walk around the block though. Wish I enjoy this great weather.

[Wmcmanus]

oh, that's easy, everyone knows santa hates liberals.

Santa is the biggest redistributionist of all time.

[grawk]

but it's not government mandated.

[wink]

The yuletide season is in enough trouble with corporate greed without involving governmental intervention to make things worse.

What's the best way to wreck any idea? Involve government..!!!

Benevolent dictatorship is still the best option.

gave my testimonial at my unitarian church twice (9 and 10:30 services), then watched my daughter's soccer team win the 2nd to last game of the season in what felt like arctic conditions (40 degrees and windy, so not really anything like the Alaska i lived in, but still cold).

[skullguise]

^^^ My son had his last game today, Dan, also in lovely cold weather. He scored a goal, but they ended up losing. Tied until about 4 minutes left, then lack of subs and ovetired kids allowed 3 goals....tough way to end, but a good coach and nice teammates.

BTW, I got the shirt, thanks. I may have to wear it to some other Bruins-related event if they don't start playing hockey! Fuck!

[grawk]

At this point, I find that preferable to giving money to the NHL owners...

[Dusty Chalk]

Benevolent dictatorship is still the best option.

I didn't know anyone else felt this way.

[CarlSeibert]

Wayne, women know these things. Trust the force.

[cutestory]

I didn't know anyone else felt this way.

Talk to Anakin Skywalker.

[grawk]

Benevolent dictator is definitely the best form of government. Unfortunately, it rarely stays benevolent very long.

This weekend I finished my certification course in Informatics and received the certificate. Not sure I'll ever do anything in the field, but it's nice to have it. It was really well run, especially for a VA run affair, the only frustrations being things that were outside their control. Met some good folks, got to shake hands with Al's sister, super nice lady, learned a few things, ... but really, really glad to have a smidgen of free time back.

Going to the national meeting on Informatics through Wednesday, we''ll see what it's about.

Got a kitteh.

Our neighbours don't fix their barn cats, which means a big winter die-off of the fall kitten litters unless some poor saps like us take them in. This is cat #4 for us. I think we might have a pet problem.

[Salt Peanuts]

^ Really cute! We've thought about adopting another one, but we already have 2.

Today, to my pleasant surprise, I found my iPod and Etys that I thought I had lost.

I will be defending democracy today.

[aardvark baguette]

I thought you already did that?

[Aimless1]

Took 30 minutes to vote. An especially long ballot and it appeared more voters than normal, so not too bad.
