Reesa’s mother makes kick-ASS lentil soup.

A favorite essay
I put this on the sidebar, but I thought I’d link to it here, as well, in case anyone felt inclined to talk about it.
I just had to say it
Sometimes I feel like the paranoid surrounded by the Eskimo family. I want to cry out, “You’re all Inuit together!”
So, it's Obama
And here we go. I think this election expresses, above all, the hatred, the astonishing hatred, we all feel for George W. Bush. And, to be sure, he’s earned it.
So now the question becomes: what happens with Obama in office and Democratic control of both houses when they continue to carry on the same policies that Bush has carried on? More military adventures, more attacks on personal freedom, more support for billionaires on Wall Street, no solution for the mass forclosures and unemployment. What happens? Rage, or apathy? I’m betting on apathy and hoping I’m wrong.
Congratulations to the WFC winners
Especially to Midori Snyder and Terri Windling for special award, non-professional (although: huh?) and to Ellen Datlow for the anthology Inferno.
And, out of courtesy to their sensibilities I will not now be gnashing my teeth and screaming about rigged elections because neither Will Shetterly nor Emma Bull won. They would certainly not appreciate such a display on any level.
So I will quietly pout.
