Feel just like this today. (h/t George)
Good Lord what a day! I’ve been fielding calls all day about this IRS thing, which has simply got to be bigger than it looks because the story broke, apparently, because the IRS apologized. I find it highly unlikely that this was altruism for a great many reasons but most notably because, if it’s true that these were low-level workers in Ohio, why did the IRS choose to make it national news by drawing attention to it?
Anyway, I’m too tired to concentrate on that so I’m having a glass of wine at my desk and trying to make it through a brief but I wanted to just shed myself of a few things and share some fun here. Helps me put things into perspective to take a little break…
There’s a lot to say about Benghazi but it’s already being said and I have no new insights to offer except to say that Jay Carney will likely be out of a job over it, and when you’re caught in a lie it’s best not to continue trying to lie. It makes it so much worse. I swear it’s as if this administration just thought they were so far above the fray that they were untouchable. That kind of arrogance is infuriating on a microcosmic level and is downright immoral on a national scale. And, for the record, I’m not feeling particularly sympathetic toward all the kids who spouted off their rage at those who were unwilling to support this administration. I suppose it’s good you’re seeing how foolish you were. But don’t expect anyone you raged against to think very well of you. You were far too ridiculous. I mean, this is how you get your information. I get it. He’s charming and self-effacing and pretty funny at times. He’s also willfully ignorant at times. And cynical and dead wrong at times. Learn to ferret it out.
I think the problem lies somewhere in here. I mean, in spite of the fact that this — in a weird loop of irony — tries for irony but is, in fact, placing the blame elsewhere — this kid is right. I don’t think these kids actually understand the concept of “serious.” They are, for lack of a better word, pretty soft. But people dying in Benghazi is SERIOUS. It has import beyond where you’re drinking later, and implications for the future and safety of where you live. I mean, I’m not sure the everybody-gets-a-trophy mentality is the cause for you not getting that…
Speaking of hackers, this convinces me that the federal government is not employing the best and brightest…
Science is cool.
Know someone who rides a bike? Because this is like the coolest gift ever…
Well I mean yeah. Have you seen us? It’s like looking at angels…
I adore how he sits down! (h/t Silvers)
My intention is to try them all. Especially the eclair. Also, I found a ganache for my pretzel brownies. Because: coffee. Then there’s this, which will be made this weekend and will replace the chives with cilantro. Because that’s how I roll. Finally on the subject of food, I made a new dance friend who lives in my hood and we tried out a new spot up the street. Seriously, go. Oh wait! Also, graphic novel + cooking = glorious.
I love everything they do and this just looks quality. “…go to the Winchester, have a nice cold pint, and wait for all of this to blow over.”

I stole this from Ann Coulter. Love them all. Brought some peace.
I get to see images from the family on a Thursday afternoon talking about their first day on the links. Nerds without feeling. That’s all I’m sayin’…
