Happy Birthday stuffs  
Happy Birthday, [info]irish_macca. Check your email.

[info]carose59 and [info]lil_shepherd, IOU one reasonably okay graphic (I can't do anything better) or short written slash or het fic thingy (short like a couple of pages because I'll never finish it otherwise) of your choice. LMK what you'd like. Post it here and I'll be back to you on your respective birthdays.

Oh, [info]mindy_tanner (also soon to be a birthday girl), please call your damned sister! It's been almost two weeks and I'm worried.

Also, check out yesterday's post about the RSL birthday drive for Broadway Cares.

Groundhog sees political debates, says "screw hibernation, I'm gonna go kill myself"  
This from satiricalpolitical ... it was too fine not to share.

As much as I loathe sound byte politics ...  
I mean, can you think of a Presidential candidate in the last thirty years that
didn
't run as the "change" candidate? Has anything changed? Okay, scratch that, other than George derailing the US state by state, has anything changed? Wasn't Bill Clinton the guy from a place called Hope?

That cynical point aside, this is a particularly well done (imho) Obama music video that is very uplifting in a political season that has been especially mean. It also makes an important point about healing the fracture along the political fault line we have in this country which our enemies try to put pressure on. I've made the difficult decision to honor Edwards' larger point in his withdrawal (largely in order to help Obama, I think) by voting for Obama. This sort of encapsulates why (for those who give a damn).
