I love her videos! While on the subject, here's a decent book that talks more about miasma theory, I highly recommend it - The Ghost Map, by Steven Johnson. It talks about one of the deadliest outbreaks of cholera in London, and how it lead to a better understanding of disease.

Really? You don't like constantly hearing "Daddy daddy what's going on? Who's that lady? What are they doing? Where are they going? Why did he do that?"

Oh God, no. This can't be real. No no nonononono.

A thank-you note after you get back from your trip would also be nice. Seeming ungrateful is a good way to never get invited back.

hy, don't you know? Any rules that the Republicans don't like can be safely disregarded. It's not a dirty trick as long as THEY are the ones doing it.

"Lobbyists that supported the bill, including representatives from N.C. Values Coalition, the N.C. Family Policy Council and N.C. Right to Life, were at the committee meeting. Lobbyists opposed to the bill were not told it was being debated."

I did too, and honestly it surprised me at the time. I guess because I'd been thinking it was inevitable. I know it's not nice, but she'd really turned into a train wreck. What a waste, she was so talented.

Oh, "only" a million bucks. Still sounds like a pretty good to haul to me, but then I'm poor.

" Typically a handful of young men at demonstrations single out a woman and encircle her, separating her from her friends."

That was pretty bad. I wonder how long it'll take for the campaign to say they weren't responsible, that they were "hacked" or some nonsense.

So what? Aren't the conservatives big on the whole concept of redemption and forgiveness for past mistakes? Or does that only count when you're coming home from a non-existent hiking trip and telling everyone that you KNOW God has forgiven you already?

Well, add Huckabee to the long, long list of bigots who can't give me one single good reason why gay marriage is any of their damn business. Ask them how it impacts their god-fearin' hetero marriage and they'll blather on vaguely about history, tradition, the bible, etc. etc. GIVE ME ONE GOOD REASON WHY IT ACTUALLY…

It's almost impressive how badly the Today Show folks missed the point on this. I mean, really?! Apparently I need to lower my expectations juuuust a little bit more.

Who the fuck is Mitt Romney and why do I care what he and/or his strategists think?

Thank you. I couldn't quite put my finger on what looked wrong about the picture, but that's it.

It's incredibly likely that your body is sending all sorts of signals his body receives, and neither of you are actively aware of it. By the way, "Oral-palooza" would be an excellent band name.

Oh, he didn't want to run? Whatever. This sounds like a kid stomping off the playground yelling "Fine! I didn't want to play with you anyway!"

Oh God, that sucks. I'm sorry for your loss - seriously. That's a lot of time and energy wasted.

Much better than me - I missed half of 'em.

Well, I did terrible on the Pharrell quiz - only 4/8. Did anyone else try it?
