According to Jonah's breezy non-kitten mouthpieced theory, I am at great risk, given that my alma mater (also my sister's for her PhD) and my parents were directly mentioned as part of the typical modern-day fascist's background.

Thank goodness I am not a woman teaching grade school, or I would be completely in the bag.

And no, I am not making this shit up.

Otherwise, um, Happy New Year!

Happy New Year to you and yours, Mutant Poodle!

Happy New Year to you and yours, Darkblack!

The boys are at my parents' house and I was able to sleep late this morning. In other words, it is a very happy New Year indeed. Off to a pleasing start, at least.

So far, I have hope for 2008. Cautious hope.

Happy New Year! And sorry about the Michigan game...

Thanks, Quixote! Thankfully, I'm the world's worst Gator fan. I still don't fully understand the rules of American football, though I certainly attended enough Gator games when I was in school (perhaps I should have paid more attention to the field as opposed to the boyfriend on the bench).

If you asked me to name a favorite Gator, it would be Dr. Robert Cade, who passed away late last year after an amazing career of discoveries and inventions, including Gatorade.

I similarly don't understand the rules of real football, so you'll get no judgment from me.

I'll have to look into Dr. Cade; currently the only gator I know is...you. So positive impressions of the grads thus far!

I can't stand liberatians. Great poem.

I like Jon's post. The only problem he has is competing with the comedy writing at Power Line.

It must be very strange to be President Bush. A man of extraordinary vision and brilliance approaching to genius, he can't get anyone to notice. He is like a great painter or musician who is ahead of his time, and who unveils one masterpiece after another to a treception that, when not bored, is hostile.
