Concerts for Change
Go here and go see some music.
Concerts for Change is fabulous. All ticket sales go directly to Run Against Bush, a PAC that donates money to the DNC, swing state Democratic committees, Democratic candidates, voter registration and get-out-the-vote organizations.
It's cheap, it's good music, good people, and actually making good progress. Over $200,000 has been raised directly for the Kerry Campaign.
You can even organize a concert yourself.
Or, you can organize your friends and get your ass to next Monday's concert at DC's Velvet Lounge. And be sure to buy lots of drinks, the bar doesn't take a cut from ticket sales so their only money from this is from bar sales.
Buy rounds.

Red Line
Props to the DC Metro Blogmap.
Yes, you can say it. "It's so DC."
OK. Now shake it off.
It just doesn't seem right to be posting and not be in Pittsburgh.
None the less, here's to it:
Best post title: All My Favorite Singers Couldn't Sing
the dust congress
Awful, horrible, longest post: Fun With IM, Pt. 6
Orange Monkey Blog
Yes, please someone steal the DC pandas. At least take the ones in Dupont. Capitol Hill got the less-stupid ones.

OK, done. Want chocolate chip cookies.

Michael Moore = Smelling Salts
I can't take credit for finding this, we can thank all my friends with jobs that put the internet at their desks.
However, I can take credit for this.
Note that I can't spell. I have the spelling capacity of a ten year old. A ten year old golden retriever.
Spell checker is so my friend that it'll have to be my bridesmaid when the day comes.
So of course, an above mentioned friend e-mails me the text of "Put Away Your Hankies...a Message from Michael Moore" and references the source website.
Instead of cutting and pasting (no, it was not a clickable link), I type in michealmoore.com.
And boy am I confused when I start clicking my way down the sidebar in search of the message portion of the site. Didn't realize Mr. Moore was such a promoter of anal sex, he didn't mention it much in Fahrenheit 9/11. Or in Bowling for Columbine, now that I think of it.
Finally I google the title of the post, realize I am an idiot, and all is right in the world.
Even better: Had I actually cut and pasted the website from the e-mail, I'd be pasting michalemoore.com.
Nothing over which I have direct naming rights will ever be name Michael.

This Is Not a Chocolate Chip Cookie
Fortune cookies aren't desert.
They are a sad reminder that you in fact did _not_ order desert with your carryout.
OH HOLY CRAP!!! YIPPEE YIPPEE YIPPEE!!!
(That is me, I just read the fortune.)
Fortune says: Romance comes into your life in a very unusual sort of way.
I say: hell yes!!!
Not sure if this is an fortune, a reminder, or an update. All sound good.
Since I got two cookies, here goes the other...
Fortune #2 says: You work best when meticulous attention to detail is called for.
That's crap. What an absolute poo fortune.
Fortunes should consist of the following topics: how great you are, how great your friends are, or how romance is staring you in the face. Not work.
