I miss New York, though. Run by Daffy’s and say hi for me?

And I love Rachel Maddow. She is so smart, and so classy. We watch her a few times a week and I spend the whole time just reiterating how classy I think she is. TV needs more class.

As for Buchanan, it’s simple. When you’re a right wing idealogue it goes like this:

1) form opinion
2) interpret reality to conform with above
3) stick head in sand
4) when challenged, restate opinion
5) yell

How come the majority of people are incapable of replacing an empty toilet roll with a full one? – The 5th Amendment is there for a reason.

Is there anyone more charming than Rachel Maddow? – You.

Is this election ever going to end? – THIS one yes, the drama that goes with USian elections, *sigh* never.

And, um, what am I going to do with myself when it’s over? – Find yourself in a world less friendly to nice people that aren’t rich?

Am I the only one who doesn’t think the money spent on Palin and family’s clothes, hair, and make up is that big a deal? – Nope. Politicians waste huge amounts of public money all the time in the US. Palin’s wardrobe is small-time.

I’ve been living in NYC too long, haven’t I? – Obviously. Move to Michigan. You’ll hate it (for reasons mostly having to do with cars and long drives) but I’ll make sure you get invited to all the local SF cons.

Replacing toilet paper rolls before they are empty is inefficient. What is efficient is to have a hopper with three or four toilet paper rolls behind and to the left of the toilet, and to replace the toilet paper roll as needed. Also, many toilet paper roll holders are stupidly designed so that it takes two hands to load them. When we built our house we made sure to get only the one-handed kind.

Who is Rachel Maddow?

The election is going to end in two weeks. Vote if you can. Coerce someone else into voting if you can’t.

You’re going to relax when it’s over. You’re going to get back to your life. Or, should things go particularly badly, you’re going to flee in disgust.

Spending that kind of money on clothes was poor judgment from a political perspective. It really cuts up the Joe Sixpack attack. Joe Sixpack still owes that much on his mortgage. If you have that much money to spend on clothes, and you don’t spend it to make the world a better place instead, it’s a statement that you’re willing to accept the current state of the world. On the other hand, everyone should have a $150k wardrobe tailored to them. It would make the world a more beautiful place. So it’s a complicated issue. :’)

And there is no such thing as living in NYC too long. It’s a privilege, one which should lead you to bow down and thank your housing fairy from the bottom of your heart for your good fortune. But if you can do it, mazeltov. Enjoy it, and tell us about it so we can live vicariously through you. God, I miss New York sometimes. :’)
