Despite the fact I can barely blink without dislodging chunks of my lungs via my new hackhackhacking way of breathing, I am driving the kids up to Delaware to visit my mom in about an hour. Fun, fun, fun. It’ll allow my mom to show off the demon monkeys to all her buddies at the Christmas party, give me a chance to do some sales tax-free shopping, and maybe I’ll even be able to make the trip between Virginia Beach and Selbyville without having to pee (I’m drowning my coughing with green tea, causing me to have to empty my bladder every 3.896 nanoseconds).
In the past couple of days, I’ve had a few relevations about both my political and my personal philosophies, and one of these days I might actually put fingertips to keyboard and share them. Not today, though. I have a car to pack and I’m on a mission to figure out just where in the Sam Hill that damn rotten milk smell is coming from.
Also, my page view stats graph would make a wicked awesome roller coaster, if only there were loops. But it’s still really up and down, in a violent “WHEEEEEE” sort of way.

I hope you have a safe and healthful trip and get some good deals and I hope the kids have fun at the party with Grandma. Cheers to a good weekend.

Hi…um…this isn’t really related to this post, though I do, of course, wish you safety in your travels!
I just wanted to stop by and thank you for your defense of LGBT folks on Hot Air. I found the post via Andrew Sullivan, and decided to wade into the comments. It was a source of mixed emotions. For one thing, it saddened me to see the cruel and untruthful things that people say (particularly grating are the repetitions of disproven “data” from the discredited Nazi apologist Paul Cameron about the shortened lifespan of gay men). I imagine that much of it comes from sources they trust, but somewhere along the lines the falsities have leaked in.
But I don’t wish to dwell on the negative, nor lecture you. Not that you need it! What I really wanted to say, I’ve already said, “Thank you.” Because while it hurts somewhat to read things written about you even by people who don’t know you, it’s also heartening to see that even on a pretty conservative site there is a debate going on about these issues, and that people are realizing that anti-gay policies are not intrinsically conservative.
Thank you again for your contribution to the discussion.

OOOooooo….bad news for you, ANNA.CHEERWINE IS A PEPSI PRODUCT. Regional, YES, but NOT “LOCAL”—once upon a LONG time ago, yes but it is currently VERY, VERY PEPSI OWNED.My dad’s buddy owns the local bottling distribution center….and he is livid about their logo change—but he is a LOCAL business who will suffer for this. Kinda like the CITGO jobberships.
I am a southerner whose husband is DEARLY ADDICTED to CHEERWINE. We can’t get it in The People’s Republlic of Northern Hell where we live, so when I am home in Sleepy Southern Hometown, I haul it back by the CASELOT.I even had my dad’s bud SHIP IT TO HIS UNIT IN IRAQ….THAT was pretty cool….but I don’t even touch soda (it eats your bones and teeth)….so I could care less.

Anna, are you okay? I have really missed seeing you around.
