Awww. Bye, R.E.M.

Ah well. They'll probably be like the Beatles and play on each other's solo albums. :)

Elizabeth Warren truly rocks.

I hear all this, oh this is class warfare, no! There is nobody in this country who got rich on his own. Nobody. You built a factory out there -- good for you. But I want to be clear. You moved your goods to market on the roads the rest of us paid for. You hired workers the rest of us paid to educate. You were safe in your factory because of police forces and fire forces that the rest of us paid for. You didn't have to worry that maurauding bands would come and seize everything at your factory... Now look. You built a factory and it turned into something terrific or a great idea -- God Bless! Keep a Big Hunk of it. But part of the underlying social contract is you take a hunk of that and pay forward for the next kid who comes along.

Oh *hell* yes.

Poor Sam. She was doing so well on her first embroidery project. She was really *listening* and paying attention to what she was doing. And then, yesterday, she left it where her sister could get it and went into the kitchen for less than three minutes. When she came back, Charlie had taken the scissors and poked holes in the fabric. It's a handkerchief, and not mendable. I felt so very bad for her. I'm pleasantly surprised that, while she was frustrated and a bit angry, she didn't even yell at Charlie. I did have to remind her that her sister wasn't doing it to be a jerk, and I'm pretty sure she believed me. :)

She picked out a new pattern and I set her up. She'll be starting over today. I'm so proud of her.
