I really don't have a lot to say recently (as evidenced by the fact that I haven't written in here in three weeks) but I wanted to write tonight since if I don't, there's not another chance to write on a February 29 for four years ( Read more... )

I know that I'm going to regret this decision at work tomorrow but I just have to write today.

Today feels like the first day of the rest of the life of the United States!Really it was on Tuesday this wonderful rebirth of the United States happened. That was the day that a good majority of one of the two major political parties woke up and took ( Read more... )
