    Truth. This reminds me of the NYT policy on the WHPCD. While Howard Kurtz and Nico Pitney and Michael "Da Don" Calderone get to take pictures and get their shits signed by Lil Wayne or Don Draper or whoever they get, NYT reporters have to stay at home. People who think this is a bad idea or is in any way unwise are automatically fucktards.

    Also, those flowers look like vaginas.

    Good call on putting this post in, even though I may be the only one to comment on it.

    I think living to age 98 pretty much cancels out any of the bullshit you endured or perpetuated.

    Aw, what adorable nerds. The "Trek" couple are a refreshing change from the Westminster Kennel Club-like trotting out of lineage and credentials competition (which we enjoy too, obvs.) Those kids are going to make it.

    They should really have a 12-step program for "Say Yes To The Dress" addiction. Once I turn it on, I can't turn it off, even if it's a rerun, which it usually is. I swear I've seen the episode with the mean mother who rushes into the stock room about 12 times.

    @hortense: Phyllis and hortense! Both addicts to this show. I thought I had to hide away my shame. Truth time: I've even shed a few tears.

    The wedding announcements in the NYTimes always make me feel inadequate, which is really their main purpose. Still, I wish I didn't feel like a failure because I didn't go to Princeton AND Yale and still had time to read three daily newspapers. Sigh. I've been busy trying to pay rent, you know.

    "...her father was the lead counsel in a 1962 landmark case that ended state-prescribed prayer in public schools, and her mother's father was involved in the Scopes Monkey trial..."

    Further tracing back her lineage, we discovered both Mighty Joe Young and Pontius Pilate.

    @Lysergic Asset: True. And I head that a family member prosecuted Verres, but that their legal lineage goes even further back, all the way to Socrates's trial and a grain dispute between two farmers argued before one of Ur-Nammus's ministers.

    @If_I_Had_a_Poodle: Oh lord, please don't bring that into it... I was just making a lol.

    I call myself an atheist only because I don't believe in any religious definition of an Earth-only god. I think a lot of atheists are very arrogant... But I think we're really only human, and by that fact that we're very inclined to trust mythology and imagination. I'm not sure what happened at the Big Bang, but I wouldn't rule out something that's so big that we wouldn't possibly be able to understand it... which might encompass something godlike, but I think it's self-limiting to try and think of it that way. I guess I'm more of an atheist-agnostic hybrid, but in general, I think religion is beautiful and important as a tool and as a mythology, and all the cosmological history I ever read makes me so excited and so overwhelmed. Anyways, here's the chips, and pass me a beer.
