We have now broken the national debt clock (thanks to Joemygod for the link.)

Okay, this is ridiculous.

I’ve been all over the web for hours and I can’t find it.

Where is the Obama/McCain slash fic?

A generous soul shared this in the comments on yesterday’s post, and it’s simply too delicious not to publicize. I sense an M. Night Shyamalan sequel in the offing, but actually scary this time.

For the artisans among us, here is a Sarah Palin stained glass window.

You can find the pattern here.

We here at Look at These Folks Who’ve Made Yet Another Shriekingly Funny Clip Mocking Sarah Palin are taking a short break to commend to you Franklin Habit’s Guys With Yarn: The 2009 Calendar.

I’ve already got Franklin’s word that I can be Mr. February in 2010.

I feel that I ought to apologize for the fact that The Search for Love in Manhattan is apparently morphing into Look at These Folks Who’ve Made Yet Another Shriekingly Funny Clip Mocking Sarah Palin, but I can’t help myself. (Thanks to College Humor for the clip.)

The other night, as I was knitting a pair of socks, E.S. was dancing around to some music he’d just downloaded. He tried to get me to dance with him but I demurred. Later in the evening he had obviously gotten into a very grumpy mood; I could tell because I would ask him questions and he wouldn’t answer them. Then we had the following brief conversation.

FAUSTUS: Why aren’t you talking to me?
E.S.: Because you wouldn’t dance with me earlier.
FAUSTUS: I was in the middle of a round of knitting.
E.S.: Life happens in the middle of rounds of knitting.
FAUSTUS: Not if I can help it.

Then we had sex.

I always thought, whenever people talked about Middlesex, that they actually meant Middlemarch. This led me to believe that a lot of people had some very, very strange interpretations of great literature.

It wasn’t until a few months ago that I realized I just hadn’t been listening carefully.

I feel this is kind of brilliant.

I am now in love with Sara Benincasa.

Go here for more. I’m on #5 and so far they’ve just kept getting funnier and funnier.
