I’d still take it. People say, oh, the ERA doesn’t matter–but, it actually does. If they think it doesn’t matter, why not pass it? And then, those of us who know it _does_ matter will be happy, too.

Senator Clinton, clearly, was 1000% better than her mostly
incompetent staff and advisors. What a waste.

Well…it would be…an ironic gesture, on his part.

It turns out that Mel Parnell had cancer, too. I had no idea.

Yesterday’s celebration brought tears to my eyes, Ellen. It is an amazing time to be a Red Sox fan, that’s for sure. And I am so happy for Jon Lester, and for Terry Francona (and for Jason Varitek, for that matter). And thanks for the reminder about the other people struggling day in and day out, not in the public eye.

I know I am a bit behind here but the new covers are most excellent. I can’t wait to have the re-issues on my bookshelves with my 1980’s original copies of the three books. Yes, I am quiet and bookish.

Actually, that is untrue–I played a few gentle jokes on the beloved shepherd I had for almost 15 years, but they amused him. My current dog is, for the most part, much too delicate and sensitive for such treatment, although she likes it when I suddenly stop short on the way down the hall, causing her to stop in confusion and wonder what we’re going to do next–or when I dart into the apartment, but leave her on the other side of the door for a few seconds, before letting her in and giving her several biscuits. It’s a childish game, but it pleases both of us.

After upsetting someone with an April Fool’s joke many years ago, I have never played any sort of prank on anyone since. (Which is why, sadly, George Clooney and I could probably never have gotten married.)

So, yeah, for the moment, I am completely serious. I just don’t feel as though I have anything to say which would advance the current discussion/climate right now, and I’m leery of being destructive.

I do have a rather sweet blog in mind–when I have the energy to write it–but, I don’t think it will touch on politics at all.

I *do* have to point out that, given the date of this entry, I was hoping it’d be revealed as an April Fool’s joke entry, but since it has been over a week and I see you haven’t posted a “fooled ya” entry, I’m assuming you’re serious, which makes me sad. I think being politically cranky right now is rather justified, and I do value your political commentary as it is generally quite spot on, surly or not.

You may be No Fun now, but you are more entertaining than Chris Matthews or Tim Russart!
