What's new, pussycat?

I have a big whiny baby who never ever gets any attention at all despite having the cutest kitty tummy in the whole wide world and dear god it's awful and the sadness of the kitty is legendary.
He's going to be even sadder when he discovers that I have to go to work in half an hour.

I'm glad that the hangover for a caffeine jag is much less noted than with alcohol. Which means I'm going to be in far better shape today at work than Dani, whose birthday celebration was last night.
EDIT: Well, last night/this morning.

Instant Karma's gonna get you

The SF Chronicle says that former South Carolina congressman Frank Ballance was convicted on charges of misdirecting public funds to his law firm and family through a faux 'charity' that he established. A quarter million, according the Chron, will be returned to the good taxpayers of his state.
I am, however, unable to find any corroboration of this on cnn.com news.bbc.co.uk or the web in general.
I'll keep my fingers crossed for the forces of darkness to be defeated and the warriors of good to triumph.
