• Best quote I've heard in a long time: "I'm not saying he's lost his mind. I'm saying only that I wouldn't draft him in a sanity fantasy league" --Keith Olbermann, about Glenn Beck.
  
  
• Healthcare is like water; it should be given free of charge to everyone. Meaning no one--not me, not Bill Gates, not the homeless guy at the bus station--should have to pay for basic healthcare other than through appropriate taxes. And I really, really don't mind if my taxes go up to make it happen. Because healthcare, like water, should be controlled by the people, not the corporations.
  
  
• I've noticed myself becoming more skeptical about everything recently. Life, death, taxes, you name it. I also notice myself sounding more like a socialist all the time. If I had to label myself, I'd be a Social Democrat, which is not a socialist, no matter how much Social Democrats USA may say it is. Also, if the NDP ever decided to open up a US branch, I'd carry their card.
  
  
• Rachel Maddow/Chris Hayes would be an interesting RPF. It would be like almost reverse slash, or something. It wouldn't be slash, but it wouldn't be entirely het, either. Yes, I know I'm weird.
  
  
• Why didn't anyone tell me that Justin Bieber is Canadian (I guess it's because it's not something people go around randomly announcing)? This means he's eligible for inclusion in C6D. I find this scary somehow. And he's not just Canadian, he's from Stratford. I'm torn between being intensely curious and really not wanting to know what some C6D fannish-types could do with this information.
  
  
• My daughter's goldfish is named Justin Bieber (this is irony, people, not teenybopperism). She also really wants to go to Niagara Falls in the spring. Curiouser and Curiouser.
  
  
• I've been in Toronto in the winter and have not since been burning with desire to repeat the trip. I'm doing it anyway. as;dflhasdf.
  
  
• I love this vid. This song was a B-side, but IMO it was the best one on the record:
  
  
  
  
  
• Icon mostly unrelated to post. I use it because I can.

I WILL SEE YOU IN TORONTO FOR HUUUUUUUUUUGH!

Actually, until CanCon, I'd only been to Toronto in the winter. Eeeep. The wind off the lake is enough to peel your facial skin.

Y'know, if we hadn't been friends for so long, informing me that Justin Bieber was under your cut would definitely have functioned as a deterrent rather than an invitation to click. ;-)

I am not actually a Headstones fan, but I am sighing in envy anyway, just for the gathering of fangirls that will take place.

My students, both males and females, hate Justin Bieber and speak of him as if he's Satan or something. I find this hilarious. Of course I have yet to google him and figure out who he is.
