Charlie Weaver

I desperately want Charlie Weaver. He costs twenty-five bucks at a local antique store – a bargain really, but I can't justify spending any money at all on non-essential items right now, not even toys, not even twenty-five bucks.

There's a calculating machine in my head that never shuts off.

In other news, the Republicans filibustered to death a windfall profits tax on big oil. I guess we follow the money trail and see who contributed to Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell's most recent campaign. More and more I am realizing that Obama's money-raising model is progressive and brilliant and leaves him beholden to no one single corporate interest.

Repubs also killed a bill that would have given tax credits for alternative energy uses. One of those energy "alternative energy" thangs was... (ualp)... riding a bicycle.

Some big moronic Senator got on CBS and told the camera, "I love bicycles. Why, I rode my mountain bike just last weekend. But you can't ride a bike to work --"

You can't? I do.
