Apparently (I say apparently because most of her remarks in the interview I just read are perilously close to gibberish) Sarah Palin believes that Obama has failed in his duty to let the American people know who will follow Mubarak as leader of Egypt. Hmmm. Wouldn't that sort of cut the Egyptian people out of the loop...?

Kayabuki is a restuarant where monkeys are the waitstaff, but in a weird twist, they have them wearing "human" masks (which I' sure they're not that thrilled with). You can read more about Kayabuki and its mask-wearing simian employees here. (via Cynical-C)
My profile is Eddie Anderson, the wonderful comedian who played Rochester on the old Jack Benny TV show. I could write a whole essay on his character as a bellwether of race relations in America, but the main factors in the change of his character over the years were Anderson and Benny themselves, two very smart, very funny men.
I'm so sore and weary that I feel like I've been carrying a hod all day, or some similarly old-timey yet backbreaking labor that seems quaint now but was probably a solid bitch back in the day.
Anyway, I'm tired. Yes, that was a ridiculous sentence — whaddaya want? Writers take weekends off, too, y'know.

Another busy friends-and-family day. For those of you suffering in other parts of the country, I won't mention the eerily spectacular weather we're having...much. Let's just put it this way — shorts and t-shirts only recently put away are being pulled out again. Sorry about that, Rest of America.
I write novels of the imagination because I can. But I collect large crustaceans because I must.
I love this very much.
