Someone on The Guardian had this to say to an article about Joe Wilson's outburst at Obama:

Joe Wilson issued his South Carolina statement: I personally believe, that the U.S. President, is unable to tell the truth, because uh, some, people out there, in our nation dont have truths. and uh… I believe that our education like such as in South Africa, and the Iraq, everywhere like such as… and, I believe they should uh, our education over here, in the U.S. should help the U.S. or should help South Africa, and should help the Iraq and Asian countries so we will be able to build up our truth, for us.

I went for a run after work today, and on the way back, bumped into Jeff from Chinese class last year and his daughter Anissa. We made small talk for two minutes before Katherine from the same class and her boyfriend Gene came by as well, and we all stood there for a few minutes, chatting and watching Anissa jump in puddles with her rain boots. She has big blue eyes and practically white blonde hair.

After a few minutes, I asked, "Anissa, how old are you?" She responded quite proudly, "Two." Thinking that some of the kids I had worked with last year during my psychology job were 24 to 30 months and somewhat smaller than her, I noted that she was quite big for her age. Jeff wondered out loud whether she was really small or big. Katherine put in her two cents that she was still quite small.

"Well, what are you, Anissa?" She asked, and Anissa responded, "I'm TWO!" At which we all collapsed in laughter. That's right, girl. Fight back against the subjectivity of strangers, and stick to the facts. She's got it right from the beginning.

That is all.

Did it work? Was the audience moved by McCain’s description of the plight of Joe, the Ohio plumber, who discovered that the Obama program might mean higher taxes for him if his business were to net more than $250,000 a year? Or were they stunned by the idea that anybody still expects to make that much money in the foreseeable future?

- Gail Collins, Oct. 16th NYT editorial.

Mr. Obama, who would be the nation’s first black president, was asked about how the author Toni Morrison had bestowed that title on Mr. Clinton more than a decade ago. [...] Lightening the moment, [Obama] added: “I would have to investigate more Bill’s dancing abilities and some of this other stuff before I accurately judged whether in fact he was a brother.”

Mrs. Clinton replied, “I am sure that can be arranged.”

I have just one thing to say about this: ZING!

I love the reading for my gender studies class.

Political aspirations in women and (at least according to one expert writing as late as 1920) a fondness for cats in men were manifestations of a pathological condition, a kind of psychological hermaphroditism tellingly but not essentially expressed by the preference for a "normal" member of one's sex as a sexual partner.

On using "Bitch, please" too many times in my memes...

beeeeeep: first time is funny...second time is silly...
beeeeeep: third time is a SPANKING
cette_vie: LOL
beeeeeep: not that connie would mind that

*falls over* *cries so hard* *dies so hard* *resurrects self and gets up* *loves so much* *falls over again* What can I say?! I'm just a bipolar machine!

No work was done today. I am wholly satisfied with that fact. Actually, not really. I found two short answers I need to do for Tufts. *growls* I really don't want to go to Tufts, so remind me, why am I applying again? Oh, because of my PARENTS. I need to stop getting headaches at inconvenient times. *looks innocent*

AAH. Apparently Kate thinks I am renowned for... certain things. *shakes head* I love her even though she was really high when she wrote me my Christmas card.

I'm just arguing with Avram about why Boston owns TJCL, kind of talking with sortie6 about why Pepsi is a BAD thing when he has it late at night, and listening to this song that Olivia got me - she is the bomb for getting me these French songs that are like French rap and French crack and I'm never going to get to sleep. *falls over*

That's it. I've unseated myself three times tonight. Also. jediman114 admits he doesn't want to be anywhere near Kate when she talks about spanking. AAH. Kate, the world is terrified of you. I think I love being a teenager. Awesome.
