Babies tasting lemons


I love this! Tots tasting the aching goodness that is lemons.


Here you can see the full vid of that first baby:

Baby can't stop!


I love how he makes that awful face but then MUST HAVE MORE DAMNIT.

Reminds me of a time when my nephew Tommy was really small. He wanted some of the pasta I was eating. It had spicy tomato sauce on it, and when he tasted it he made this OMGHURT face, then after a second he opened his mouth for more. And kept doing the same thing! It was so funny, we were all laughing as he ate the pasta and then scrunched up. Some babies apparently get off on the gustatory pain thing, just like some adults do.

Yup, we definitely need less regulation! The EPA is just a big waste of time!

Oh, goody!

Just what I need to get my week off to a cheery start.

Put a sock in it already!

I'm really getting sick of Obama and Hillary's constant sniping. How long have we been hearing these two haranguing each other? It got old a long time ago, and if it goes on any longer, it'll be...cheese.

Isn't it about time they got down to talking about the OTHER side? In their eagerness to bitch and piss about each other's policies, they never seem to say word one about the people they'd be running against down the line. They sound like a pair of third-graders in a spat: I know you are, but what am I? I know you are, but what am I?

Shut. the Fuck. Up. already. Christ, stop with the bickering and fucking GET ON TRACK.


And now this pissy attitude Obama's showing about the whole VP thing. Bitch, that is NOT the way to handle the situation. Instead of "Oh, she's so ridculous, I'm winning, nyah-nyah-nyah", how about "It's very nice of her to make this gesture, but I don't think it'll come out that way"? Perhaps "Who knows what might happen? I'm not psychic, and I hope we could maintain good relations no matter how the nomination comes out"? Or maybe even, "I do appreciate Senator Clinton's offer, and I hope she would be just as willing to accept the VP spot in my administration, should I turn out the winner in November"? THOSE would be responses I could get behind. This pettiness just makes me like him less and less. If that's his idea of "healing" and "change", I gotta say his "vision" is rather limited.


Both of these people keep talking about "change", and yet they give us the same kind of backhanded carping that's been SOP in politics since...forever. Can't they see that it's this exact brand of asshattery that people are TIRED of? How about some change in the way campaigns are run? How about some civility for a change? Good manners? Even - let's whisper it - friendliness?

And I'm not talking about the sort of passive-aggressive pretense they engage in when they're on camera together. I mean real bridge-building, putting away the razors in exchange for a willingness to engage the people in what we are concerned about. Which certainly is not their little sandbox games.

Feh. Politicians. They make me tired.
