Well those pics are from the end of the celebration. Most of the heat fans left early

Oh yes, a total gem, I'm very lucky indeed. coming home from work to pick her up is the best part of my day.

Honestly, wearing Depends would be a smart move given their filibuster rules. But I'd be totally okay with pissing my pants on the Senate floor if it meant preventing that piece of garbage from becoming law.

Jesus, just when I thought she had gone away.

You're totally right with the point Eric Posner made. I agree with you. It's the same principle that says we need more women in leadership positions to promote a woman-friendly corporate/academic/political/etc. environment. Especially, amen to the idea of exerting long-overdue influence on the direction of society. No…

This is a good point. Because when you are that tired, but still trying to be careful, you do check things over and over and over again because you forget and you just know the one time you don't do it, something will happen.

Awww! REAL fan mail! The only fan mail I've ever gotten was me writing to myself as other people! This is marvelous indeed!!!

For me, it was the same symptoms as jet lag. Just foggy, all the time. Maybe a little more emotional. I might check things a few more times and be extra careful because I was afraid of making a mistake and sometimes forgot what I was doing from being so tired.

The Seals probably called, but I get a lot of fan mail, so it's impossible to respond to every letter individually. ;-)

In my experience, sleep deprivation (brought on from three days of sleeping in 20 minute increments as that is how frequently my son wanted to/needed to nurse) was just hysterical crying. No OCD anything. But it was baaaaaaaad. My husband has said he will never forget the look on my face at one point and how he felt…

The guy in that office is gonna be pissed when he sees this. It might take him a second or 17, but he'll lose it.

Well at that point you have Stockholm Syndrome.

Not really. If you're sleep deprived, you're more likely to forget to do important tasks, but the intrusive thoughts come along with OCD aren't "I need to check again because I forgot if I did it" they're "I need to check again because I just need to make sure"

Yes. Congress could choose to require preclearance for everyone. And they should. In fact, the Dems can and should turn this into a club to beat over Republican heads from now til November 2014.

and was equally wrong, too.

That dumb fuck was wrong too. Classless piece of shit that sullies the credibility of the court. That ass doesn't deserve to be in the same room as Ginsburg.

For the briefest moment today I thought Fisher might be good for the Voting Rights Act. Then I realized what I was thinking and that thought vanished. I just don't have a good feeling about Shelby County, though I did read an interesting piece the other day (and of course I can't remember where, now) arguing that…

I'm pretty sure you could start a sentence with "Justice Alito was a real dick to-" and finish the sentence with an infinite number of people/places or things.

How does that come up on a date?

America! Fuck Yeah!
