And don't complain if he doesn't come home . . .

@Ash78: +1

I do think the link is there between mood disorders and creativity—but that should not make mania or depression a desirable thing, something to be cultivated to produce Art. I came from a dysfunctional family and definitely have organically originated mood swings, I have addressed both with talk therapy and long years…

@vamusical: but if Virginia goes Obama it will be the fault of us communists in Northern Virginia.

@phinehas: me too, is something wrong with me that the more it sucks the more i love it

@sarah.not.palin.is.due.in.eight.months: rock on! And she doesn't have a pretty end.

@Meg: I always thought 420 was more their speed.

@llsie: I love, love, love, Anne Marie MacDonald, don't be afraid of the Oprah endorsement of Fall on Your Knees—

@SomnambulantHobbit: She's married to Jason Jones—and he plays such a perfect, in his own words, douchebag.

My shallow little family of EANGS and EANBS were totally excited to see how much of McCain's speech was in front of a virtual green screen—bring on the Colbert 'Make McCain Exciting Green Screen Challenge'.

@Gumbina80: Women need to give one another a break.

@GOPG8R: I see as a Gator fan that you probably still live there.

@beverlywriter: that is a favorite refrain in my life. GET OUT OF FLORIDA—Man, any time you hear of the most f'ed up stories, yup, Florida.

I have been reluctantly following this case—mostly because I see the dysfunction of my own family mirrored in this one. Thankfully no missing kids in our fam, but my mom and dad forbid my oldest sister from getting an abortion and I swear, they doomed my nieces from that point. A long sad, repeating story.

Oh my god, my daughter caught a HUGE catfish with that fishing pole.

He also really doesn't like Nicole Kidman.
