You gotta love "pee on me".

*
Right here is where I had intended to post a photo of Amy Sedaris signing the Roommate's copy of I Like You: Hospitality Under the Influence, but I guess I should have spent more than 2 seconds trying to figure out how to take a photo with my phone. I always have my camera on me for just such occasions but last night I was without batteries in said camera, so although I know I took a photo, and actually viewed the finished product, I don't know if I saved it. And if I did, I have no idea where I saved it to as the ol' cell phone isn't being exactly helpful in showing me where it is. Anyway, my friend Mark and I were about 200 people too late to get into the reading but we did get to wait in line for 2 hours and forty-five minutes to get our copies signed. My copy was dedicated to the Roommate and read "I love you, seriously. Pee on me, Amy Sedaris" and Marks said "You make me as moist as a snack cake down there", a line from Strangers With Candy. Good times, good times.


So if you know how to make a Samsung t309 vomit up a photo, let me know.

And on a more serious subject….
It concerns me that the Republicans are pulling a smoke and mirrors act by focusing on Kerry's recent offhanded remark about under-educated people being shipped off to war at a time when it's also the headline that more than a hundred American troops lost their lives in Iraq in October---the highest body count in a year and a half. Way to focus on what's important. I have heard that standards, including arrest records and the like, have been lowered to keep military recruitment up, so I'm gonna have to have to deduce that maybe you don't need a high school diploma to be sent to Iraq. Yeah, President Bush, I guess Kerry's statement really was the thing that killed those troops, so I'm gonna follow you on that one all right. And before you jump down my throat I agree it's insensitive to say that only dummies go off to war, but had these fine men and women had access to other careers through higher education, I suppose they just might have chosen a less deadly career path.


And to that I add just saying.
