Sullivan's View from your Recession
Andrew Sullivan has been posting letters from readers about their recession experiences. I felt bad for this couple, who has made a lot of cuts (selling car, using less heat), until I read this:
"We are taking on boarders, renting our downstairs rooms (cutting our living space from 2400 to 1500 sq ft for ourselves and our two children.)" (emphasis mine)
BooHOO. I'm sorry you only have a spacious 1500 sq ft for a small family of four. I will be CERTAIN to cry in my cornflakes over your loss. Seriously, that's great they're cutting corners and being responsible, but don't play violins over 1500 sq ft. That's a lot to a lot of people.

GE is Deliverance?
Andrew Sullivan posted this ad under the title "Cool Ad Watch". I mean, I guess it's cool if you don't know the song being played is famous because of the movie Deliverance. If you do know that, then it's just weird. Do they really want people thinking of "squeal piggy squeal" when they hear about "bold new ideas"?
Washington Equality
Look like a bill will pass the Washington state senate & house that gives same-sex domestic partners virtually every legal right that married couples have.
