tbridge: This is a photo I took of them when they came to visit me in DC in the early part of last decade: This is a photo from Emily Shur of the New York Times took as part of a visit two weeks ago.  You can do this.

Dear 2011
I really appreciate how you’ll be all super newsy. You’ll gotten a LOT done this year, and 2011 is definitely in THE BOOKS as they like to say. Perhaps its time to take the rest of your self off? Go ahead, relax a little. And don’t call or email. Thanks, the person on call for a major international news site on Christmas.

McKinney, whose character in the disturbing movie sodomized one of four city friends whose weekend river trip descended into a prolonged nightmare, died of cancer of the esophagus, said a statement on his Facebook page. Listen, AFP writer, I know its late and you probably don’t know that much about this guy, but there’s got to be a better way to write this sentence.

Boyfriend just wrote an angry email to Safeway
About putting up barriers to condom purchase in some stores and not others in DC. “It’s only a minor inconvenience to me, but I’ve only seen it done in poor neighborhoods and its fucking racist” Yeah, he’s a bit drunk from happy hour but libertarians, sometimes, actually put the liberty in their name.
