I was farting in the shower last night and noticed that it smelled like low tide. Maybe if Maine were cool enough to have same-sex marriage I would be able to fart freakin' coffee and doughnuts. (I realize that other states have coastline, coffee, and doughnuts, but not in the way that Maine does. Trust me ( Read more... )

"When it first started she went up to a cop and said, 'thank you for coming out to keep us safe. This is a rough neighborhood.' He said, 'that’s not why we are here ( Read more... )

I got to Meredith's election night party at 9:30 and sort of half-watched the news there for a half hour. No surprise that Obama won, but I was surprised that it happened so quickly.
