“Girls Just Want to Have Fun” peaks at #2 today in ‘84

“We got every racial group of girl—mixed, Spanish, white, black, Asian,” said Lauper, “so that every little girl who looked at that video would .. understand that every young woman, older woman, every person is entitled to a joyful experience.”

As long as the Democratic leadership and consultant class act like their single goal is getting the billionaire junkets that the Republicans enjoy, they will continue to deserve this.

The American people are begging for a real opposition party.

The weirdest story on Fark.com this morning is about a south Indian tourist who left graffiti all over multiple Egyptian tombs 2,000 years ago.

“Cikai Korran came here and saw.”

Abstractly, a vertical light beam illuminates water droplets in the foreground with monolithic dark shapes behind. Its a pretty pointless picture,  to tell the truth

Good morning
We try
We struggle on
We fight our demons and we fight the hate flooding us
We see things we dont or cant understand
We love
We need to love harder and more generously

“Hurry!” said Frog. “We will run and catch it.”

“No!” shouted Toad. “I cannot do that.”

“Why not?” asked Frog.

“Because,” wailed Toad, “running after my list in not one of the things that I wrote on my list of things to do!”

I am routinely struck silent by the fact that we can stop HIV in its tracks, literally zero transmission, and as a society we just choose not to.

I have created a diorama of the Partridge family attacking the Brady Bunch family. My life is very boring.

The flowers were a surprise! That's at the light at 288 and King's Row...2 days ago you couldn't even see buds.

We filled the car...I'm not looking forward to driving to Decatur this week 😬

Drove out to Restaurant Depot in Lewisville.
Most gas stations we passed were at $3.19 for regular.
QT was $3.49.

If I had a nickel for every time Franz Ferdinand was involved in the precursor events of a world war, I’d have two nickels, which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird it happened twice

Birds came from everywhere. They picked up all the cookies in their beaks and flew away.

“Now we have no more cookies to eat,” said Toad sadly. “Not even one.”
