Programming note

I have this great affection for Suzy Bogguss. If it weren't for her and
David Letterman, I mightn't have heard about Nanci Griffith until years
after I did. Anyway, she's on PHC this week:

Fucking Huckabee

Mike Huckabee wants to rewrite the constitution to match the bible, which
you probably knew. Did you know his advisor James Pinkerton wants to post
"A cop in front of every mosque"?

As I've often said...

...I'm really proud
of the people on my friendslist.

Friday Five

Gakked this Friday Five from gramina. I probably look like a bit
of a smart-ass for answering the way I did, but I'm sincere about these
answers.

1. If you could do one thing in the world, what would you do?
I *can* do one thing in the world. And then I can do another thing. That's
essentially how I live my life.

2. If you could be any character from a book, movie, or television show,
who would you be? Why?
I am happy being me. I have no desire to be anyone else, not even in my
imagination.

3. If you could change one thing in the world, what would it be?
Again with the one thing. I *can* change one thing at a time. But big
things? I would make sure that the people in power are good, ethical,
competent people with the best of motives and healthy bodies and minds. Is
that one thing?

4. If you could make out with one person of the same sex, who would it be?
[and]
5. If you could make out with one person of the opposite sex, who would it
be?

I can make out with anyone I want to, because I don't *want* to make out
with anyone who doesn't want to make out with me.

It may have begun

There are still a few kinks Facebook and the makers of Scrabulous are trying to iron out. We appreciate your patience as we try to fix these issues. Your problem has been logged - if it persists, please come back in a few days. Thanks!

Anyone else able to get on?
