And if you aren’t trying to figure out whether your parents have already sold your microscope—along with your comic books, right?—then you probably never talked to people like me in high school. And you are a less interesting person for it.
If you did not have/covet one of these as a child, you may not be able to be my friend. If you don’t even know what it is, I may have to have you killed.
In whose office would this not be useful? Srsly.
Until this moment I never realized how much I needed a Buck Neuro Hammer. Or a pair of Utility Paramedic Scissors.

STATEMENT FROM THE PRESIDENT ON THE MURDER OF DR. GEORGE TILLER
I am shocked and outraged by the murder of Dr. George Tiller as he attended church services this morning. However profound our differences as Americans over difficult issues such as abortion, they cannot be resolved by heinous acts of violence.

The early CW (a.k.a., “the first thing that popped into Poltico’s collective head”) in DC is that Huntsman was “savvy” to endorse McCain in the primaries—his dad endorsed Romney, you know, so they had their bases covered. Bullshit. People endorsing McCain in late 2007 were hopeless optimists, not savvy. Those were the dark days of the campaign, with a broken-down bus and almost no media coverage. A small enough media retinue, in fact, that Gov. Huntsman and his wife and I once split a brace of donuts while waiting in the Manchester airport for a staffer to pick us up—I was the only other person there.
In the long view, perhaps a detail like that doesn’t matter, or tell us anything about what kind of ambassador he’ll be. But I think it says something about the kind of person he is. (Also he’s in favor of civil unions which is not ideal but, yowza, coming from a Mormon guv of Utah, I will count it as progress.)
So glad you asked.
Will update as events warrant.
UPDATE:
She does not sleep.
Royalities first.
