Light up Paddy's life

By GottaLaff

Paddy has no electricity. Well, she has a little now, after she found her way downstairs into a freezing, pitch black basement after a fuse or three blew.

She needs flashlights. She needs tap lights.

She needs heat.

I just want to send a hug her way. How about it? Some moral suppport?

(Don't kill me, Padlock. My heart went out to you and I couldn't keep it to myself)

VIDEO: Tina Fey sneaks in Sarah Palin impression at Ad Council Dinner

By GottaLaff

Lerve Tina! She spoke at the Ad Council Annual Dinner, and yes, she did her Blogger McCan'tWrite impression:



Money line:

"They recently made a porn movie about Sarah and then this same porn actress, Lisa Ann, played me in a parody of '30 Rock' ... And weirdly of the three of us, Lisa Ann knows the most about foreign policy."

She never disappoints. What a bright, funny, talented woman.

I don't want to write this post

Sometimes I am too optimistic. And unrealistic. After Ted Kennedy's Senate appearance when he voted on the stim bill, I had this little, tiny, weensy shred of hope that he'd be around forever. Sadly, my wee shred is now a micro-wisp:

Sen. Ted Kennedy, wintering in an undisclosed location in Florida, may never return to the Senate, friends say, as his battle with brain cancer enters its final rounds.

“He’s someplace sunny, near the water, where he can rest and sail,” said a pal of the senior senator. “Time is of the essence. It’s very sad.” [...]

“He’s very sick,” said another Kennedy associate. “He’s actually done well to get to this point.” [...]

Because of Kennedy’s condition, off-the-record speculation about the future of his Senate seat has been rampant this week - especially in light of a seven-part Boring Broadsheet opus that is being widely viewed as a premature obituary. And yesterday’s installment was interpreted by some close to the matter as the first step in a torch-passing to Kennedy’s wife, Vicki.

“It appeared to be setting up Vicki’s senate campaign,” said one insider.

The story described the former Victoria Reggie as “a great lawyer” with “tremendous political skills” and “great sense of humor.” [...]

Should Kennedy be unable to finish out his senate term, which ends in 2012, a special election must be held within 145 to 160 days of the seat becoming vacant. The big question is: Will Kennedy make it known that he wants his wife to succeed him - a move that would almost assuredly guarantee Vicki the seat?

My heart is breaking.
