Shortly after my 30th birthday, my friend Josh took me down to Ikea and bought me a new beaver. This is the first time I got my beaver drunk, later that afternoon.
Many people know I have a tendency to bring my beaver places, get it drunk, talk about it in the 3rd person and generally behave in a way that people I don't know might find embarrassing if they knew me. Apparently, I should live in Australia, where a woman's beaver is part of no less than two Kotex commercials (made after I started hanging out and posing with my beaver, lest you think me uncreative). They are pretty hilarious.
God, I love a good beaver joke.

" . . . talk about it in the 3rd person . . ."
Wouldn't it be weird if you didn't talk about it in the 3rd person?
Re the prev thread; back to NYC? You seem to be posting more frequently on Jezebel, are you back with them full-time? I do regret your leaving DC as I think politics/policies posts are important, but are you off K-Street for good? Anyway, this was a good post and best wishes on the move. --qwerty
Qwerty: No, I'm still part time, it's just their were absences yesterday, so Anna had me work all day and I'll take a day off later this week (we did that last month, too).
I'll still be writing about and paying attention to politics -- hell, it's not like I left my house much before -- but, no, I could't go back to lobbying. Going to Wonkette made that not an option.
Well, your Jez post re the NYT article was mentioned by Rebecca Traister on Bhtv. You really had a good pickup on a key issue. And not just the discrimination, but the deceptive stats that obscure it. Anyway, best on the move. --qwerty
