About Me:
Middle-aged (thank god); married (oddly enough); native New Yorker; one (thoroughly magnificent, thanks) child, She Who Must Be Obeyed, aka HM (Her Majesty). But a mere lowly end-user by profession, and a former [pretty much everything, at least in somewhat limited first-world terms]. Extravagant (mostly organic) cook, slapdash (completely organic) gardener, brain space originally assigned to names and faces piled up with the overflow from the desperately overcrowded Old Movie and Broadway Trivia section, garage space which was originally assigned to a car piled up with boxes of books. Dreadful housekeeper, indifferent dresser, takeout menu ninja and the proud owner of a major percentage of the partially finished crafts projects on the east coast of the continental United States. The handsome gentleman in the picture is Hoa Hakananai'a. He joined the collection of the British Museum in 1868. His name, which is thought to mean "stolen or hidden friend," was given to him by his previous owners when he was collected.

Rep. Vito Fossella (R-NY) is probably nostalgic for last Thursday when the worst thing he and his campaign had to deal with was his arrest for driving very, very drunk. His life has gotten way more complicated since then.

Late Night FDL: John and Katrina broke up

As he's wont to do when he's touring an area decimated by the Bush administration, Senator McCain took the troops with him into New Orleans. "Never again," he said, "will we allow such a mishandling of a natural disaster. Never again." Not a flipflop: McCain opposed Bush's response to Katrina in real time. Specifically, he had a problem with the part where Bush wanted to spend money on it.

You may have heard the Pope is in town. Well, so is Our twice-divorced civilly-married pro-choice legendarily-adulterous Beloved Former Mayor. He decided to take in the mass at St. Pat's. He also decided to take communion. Problem is, the Pope specifically told him not to.

Oh, life is a glorious cycle of song, A medley of extemporanea; And love is a thing that can never go wrong; And I am Marie of Romania. Also I appear to have missed a few things while I was buried at work...

That nice lady Mrs. Malkin is all upset because Sen. Obama, like Sen. Kerry, has demonstrated that his taste in cheesesteak is not that of an "Everyman" (everyman is, it appears, not Jewish). Luckily, we don't have to wonder what Mrs. Malkin's everyman eats.

Chris Matthews is really concerned about Barack Obama's bowling score, because regular people bowl. Only maybe not so much. Go figure.

The AP's Ron Fournier has turned on Senator Obama after a primary season spent beating up Senator Clinton and Senator Edwards. Could be there's a reason for that.
