On ohnotheydidnt they posted Lindsay's address at the jail, so I decided for some reason yesterday to write her a letter. It basically said good luck and that she has talent (she actually does) and that I hope she finds the right thing to help her make her life better.

Is that weird? Now that I think about it I'm kind of embarrassed.

I did it on a whim.

Well, I hope she enjoys the good wishes and it helps her pass the time on her 14 days in jail.

I was waiting for this; the video of convicted serial killer Rodney Alcala on The Dating Game:

scares the shit out of me. She really does. She's like Reagan and GW Bush...vacant but pretty and folksy. A perfect puppet to run as a figurehead.

Did you see all the e-mails released yesterday that showed how much Todd was really governing Alaska? And how he was negotiating for state contracts with the oil company that employed him at the time of the negotiations?

Sarah Palin can't be allowed to run for President in 2012. I'm afraid she'll win.

"We need a commander-in-chief, not a professor of law lecturing us."

2012 is going to be really ugly. The ultra conservatives are going to encourage the anti-intellectual bias of the under-educated in the red states, and it will really work to the Democrats' detriment.

ETA: Speech just finished. Holy fuck was it good. She had the audience - HOLY SHIT Q & A oh this will be interesting. They are going to give her the most perfect hand picked questions.

I had to drive to Santa Maria today to go to Target to get an electric blanket and a cool cheap radiant heater (that way, even though my apartment's heater is broken, I can still get heat in my bedroom - the broken heater in my apartment is in the living room anyway and the heat never reached my bedroom), and I had to drive through the burn area on the air force base. The plants that burned look very cool and they're right up against the highway since the fire jumped over it to burn the other side.

But first, let Tiger remind you to FOCUS:

Enjoy! We're going to see Sherlock Holmes tomorrow (I think Mom might even go) so that's cool.

And just because it's fun:

This guy over the last decade pretended to be a child and wrote to various people - serial killers, elected officials, Larry Flynt, and here are the replies. I like Charles Manson and Clarence Thomas the best.

ETA: Now that I've thought about it a few more seconds, Larry Flynt's is really the best.

I was reading Pearson v Dodd for my torts class, and it is a case about a scandal exposed about Connecticut Senator Thomas Dodd in 1969 or so, and I wondered if he was Chris Dodd's Dad. One quick snap over to the internet and indeed, he was Chris Dodd's Dad. That's not the weird part. According to Chris Dodd's wikipedia page, he dated both Bianca Jagger and Carrie Fisher.

That's really hard to comprehend.
