the norm

Pulling a Dan today.

The right not to look normal. There's a special way of seeing things. "Is every child entitled to "look normal"? Or is he entitled to respect regardless of how he looks?" File this one under "the six thousand things I want to chime in on when I have boatloads of free time."

Seems to be less about not being ashamed of mercy than a justice system that must be inherently flawed if presidential pardons are being so heartily encouraged. P.S. Burnish his legacy? If such a thing were possible, this wouldn't do it.

And amen to this. I have been saying the very same in various written forms of and with various degrees of mockery since 1999. No, I never had a meaningful relationship messed with by an outsider, but then again, I never chose a man who begged to be questioned.

not happy with you using my name as an adjective, but at least you're not using my name as a verb. example: "you're getting fired because you dan'd up that presentation."

hehe. thanks for the mention.

actually, i left you a noun. using you as an adjective would be, "that's so dan of me!"

eheh.

i'll probably be danning it up tomorrow, too, so look out!
