but honestly, one of the gifts that arrived today was... um... unusual.

You see, thediva_laments and I have registered for all sorts of things, from the somewhat expensive items in the several hundred dollar range to a lot of items in the thirty to one hundred dollar range and a wide scattering of things in the twenty dollar or less range.

That epic asshat of a Washington bubble-dweller, so-called political consultant Mark Penn just can't help himself. No matter how big an asshat he has clearly demonstrated himself to be, he feels compelled to keep proving it over and over like some sort of short-term memory dickweed by dispensing more epically bad advice to anyone stupid enough to ( Read more... )

It has been a hell of a month. A hell of a summer, really, all around. The past few weeks have been particularly hard to deal with. My father experienced a subdural hematoma on July 16th, and what a shock it was. Generally speaking he is in exceptional health. Before this happened, he was jogging three times a week, plus walking. He is very ( Read more... )
