the best thing i watched today was about poetry. i generally don't like poetry, and it seems the makers of this video share my opinion.

roll over, Lincoln

"We were in the middle of a corruption crime spree, and we wanted to stop it," U.S. Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald said, calling the charges against Blagojevich "a truly new low." He added: "The conduct would make Lincoln roll over in his grave."

How cool that a US Attorney says stuff like that. He might as well say, "Book 'em!" or something else hard-boiled.
I enjoy Patrick Fitzgerald immensely. Not only because he has this Takes on the Big Boys On Behalf of the Little Guys image. And not only because he's most known for giving Bush's puppeteers a good prodding over the Valerie Plame outing. But mainly because he was really cool as a guest on the show Wait Wait Don't Tell Me. If you're looking for an entertaining podcast for a slow day, I highly recommend it.

Everyone, absolutely everyone, is making it up as they go along.
Those people who look like they have it together - just as clueless as the rest of us.
Those people who've ascribed to some rigid set of rules to live by - they're bumbling along too.

Las Vegas Sallie was supporting me tonight while I was charting

Me: I should have stuck my finger up her butt...

Las Vegas Sallie: [strained look of surprise and polite interest]

Me: She had this really chunky--

Las Vegas Sallie: No.No.No.No.No. Keep it inside. Keep it deep deep inside. Sometimes silence ISN'T violence.

Stories about anyone else's neighbors make them seem like fun and wacky characters while my own neighbors just seem odd and a little creepy.
