A reminder on why we’re even in this mess tonight: it’s self-inflicted. Entirely. It’s entirely political, entirely partisan, entirely hard-right ideological, and it doesn’t have a damn thing to do with the “debt ceiling,” or even the deficit, except as proxy for the one and only thing that does matter to Republicans: cutting social programs.
Why are we talking about “catastrophe”...

I’m so glad I found this episode of Dad Labs on blip.tv. Because we have one of these things and I absolutely, positively refuse to use it. In fact, I can’t even be in the apartment when Linds uses it on Chloe.
I can handle all of the poo and the spit up and the getting peed on and all that. But I will never, ever suck snot out of her nose. I don’t care how...
“And default would have such disastrous consequences for our nation for decades...”

Being happy that our leaders are talking is like being happy that I remembered to put pants on in the morning.

I dunno what's going to happen Tuesday...
But we’re stocking up on bottled water, canned goods and first aid supplies just in case. Seriously.
Reblog: Is she dilated?
Doctor: Go see this patient, she's going into active labour. I want you to check if she's dilated or not.
Med Student: Um, okay. I will go check.
Go sees patient, checks the patient's eyes then reports back.
Med Student: Um...I think they both look pretty dilated.
Doctor: ...What do you mean...both?

Chloe has a bit of reflux. Totally normal and apparently quite common for a three week old. We have some drops she needs to take at every feeding and it lasts anywhere from two to six days. Reflux does not impact her health but it makes her very uncomfortable and cranky.
And thus a new parenting lesson is learned: there is absolutely nothing worse than seeing your child in pain and not being able...

I installed Lion. It’s fine. I like the reverse scroll.
But there is a GODDAMN CHIME that is playing every 4 to 6 minutes. Before I take a sledgehammer to my laptop, can anyone tell me what this is and how I turn it of???

The Trailer for “Battleship.” Holy shit this looks terrible but I can’t wait to see it.
I swear to god this looks like an upscale SNL Digital Short, but sans humor, whimsy, or fun. I can honestly say I have never been less excited about a film involving Liam Neeson and gunplay. They should have just called this “Cashgrab: The Film.”
