The Chiro Office was closed earlier today, so I got to see the whole thing.  Doug laughed, cause at the end of the speech I outstretched my hands and said the following:

"OH, SWEET ENGLISH LANGUAGE!  HOW I'VE MISSED YOU!  WORDS!  GLORIOUS WORDS!  MAKE LOVE TO ME!"

It was a good speech.

Wow... eight years.  So much crap went down...

Alright, I promised THIS was going to be my last post on the subject, but I can't pass up such a great John Stewart routine.  Plus, I didn't realize I'd have to listen to Burris make a fool of himself in front of the Illinois legislature on the radio during work breaks.  That hasn't helped me move past this whole mess.  However, I think I'm just ( Read more... )

(This was interesting... I checked off the ones that applied with a yes or no.)

To all the kids who survived the 1930's, 40's, 50's, 60's and 70's:

It looks inevitable now.

Sigh...

This state gets everything it deserves.

The following is not an Onion headline.  It is simply what happened earlier today.  The original headline reads "Blagojevich names Roland Burris to Obama's Senate seat", but it just as easily could've said this...

Note: Try reading this with a straight face without a hint of irony...

The Death by Stomach Flu  that ravaged my uncle's family has finally made it around to me.  24 hours of projectile vomiting and shivering was not fun.  I've stopped losing everything I ate since last Sunday, but I'm still pretty weak.

I may or may not be at New Years tomorrow.  If I am, I'll still make Wassail, but it'll be a lighter version that I ( Read more... )

Special belated thanks to samcallahan  for the bottle of Duchesse de Bourgogne he gave me a year and a half ago.  I was saving it for a special occassion (I was going to let it be the day Bush stepped out of office), but I figured Blago getting busted was as special an occassion as any.  So Tuesday night (that's a week ago  Tuesday) I popped open the bottle, ( Read more... )

OH HAPPY DAYS!  HAPPY DAYS!

I had a splitting migraine yesterday and woke up with it STILL this morning, but now I suddenly feel all better.  Thank you Patrick Fitzgerald -- Christmas came early this year!

If you don't want to see some gloating and a few rounds of "I @#$%ing told you so!" then I suggest you stop reading now, cause I'm gonna savor ( Read more... )

And to all a good night!
