My sister wasn't able to conquer her addictions either. But I wouldn't call her "stupid." I'd call her beautiful, artistic, kind, funny, deeply troubled, incredibly sad, and gone tragically early.

Her?

I am so obsessed with the poetry of WWI. Love it all. This is my fave, Strange Meeting by Wilfred Owen:

Oh Anna Akhmatova:
The evening light is broad and yellow,
Tender, the April chill.
You are many years late,
Yet I’m glad you are here.

Sit down now, close to me,
And look with joyful eyes:
Here it is, the blue notebook –
Filled with my childhood poems.

Forgive me that I lived in sorrow,
Rejoiced too little in the sun.

DOUG.

Rich people don't get deported. They get to stay and inflict their shittery on everybody.

See, I find "Linus from Charlie Brown" to be a completely sweet and endearing rationale for a name. Linus was a nice kid. As a real person's name, I think it's one of those slightly old-mannish names that has swung back around to being hip again, like Ezra or Lavinia. Go for it!

That HAT!

Boy, it's sure good to see that the Canadian Competition Bureau is going to crack down on Coffee Crisp's and Mr. Big's while letting Rogers and Bell continue to rob the entire country blind.

I get incredibly pissed when people make light of self harm—"oh....those Emo kids," "oh, he/she is faux suicidal," "oh, it's just for attention," etc etc. Self-harming, for starters, does not mean one is suicidal. Many self-harmers just happen to cut and many happen to do do on the underside of their arms...for…

Alysson Hannigan waved adorably at the limocade her cute kid looked kind of pissed off about PRISM.

Oh, yeah? What say we settle this on the runway, Han-Solo?

I was up in Grand Marais three weeks ago and my outfitter made a point to note that in his 52 years in the Northwoods of Minnesota, he wasn't familiar with one wolf vs. human attack that was fatal. It just doesn't happen.

Wolves aren't being hunted because there are too many of them for the forests and mountains—coyotes back out of wolf habitat when wolves are in healthy numbers, and predators such as mountain lions hunt differently (mostly nocturnal and solo) so do not compete. The reason people enjoy (enjoy!) killing wolves is…
