Do you know what happens when you leave your LJ unattended for too long? You get friended by Russian squirt porn advertisements, that's what.

I am enjoying, at this moment, a drink known as a "Keith Richards", which consists of two espresso shots floated over a glass of Shasta Cola.

It is strangely, strangely compelling.

- Sorry residents of DC, you apparently don't have enough guns to be represented in Congress. NO VOTES FOR YOU. GOOD DAY SIR.

Tangentially related, recent events in DC and Kansas seem to suggest that liberals should start being better armed. I'm not sure how serious I am about that.

After the, um, unpleasantness of Angry WharrgarblCon 2009 (the special election, to you out of staters), we Californians now have the 2010 gubernatorial election to look forward to.
