President Obama’s State of the Union address was a ho-hum affair. But the official Republican response, from Representative Paul Ryan, was really interesting. And I don’t mean that in a good way.

CONVERTING TO CATHOLICISM DOES NOT MAGICALLY GRANT YOUR DOG A SOUL.
WOW. EPIC CATHOLIC WIN.
Did I spell obsess wrong? It just looks WRONG!
To all the ladies who obsess about being "skinny"
Skinny is not attractive
Skinny is actually kind of gross
If I can see your skeleton without removing your skin… that’s just not right.
If giving you a hug feels like I’m trying to wrangle a bundle of pointy sticks… ew.
Hugging is better with curves.
Embrace your curves.

Yeah I know… you don’t have to tell me. I’m a little odd and kind of a dork. But I think we’re all ok with that.
I've lost 11 pounds since Christmas
Just 19 more until I’m back to the weight I was when I took those pictures in the slinky red dress.
If I get back down there… I might take new pictures of myself in that dress to celebrate.
Ezra Klein - Repeal, but no replace →
As expected, House Republicans have voted to repeal the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. Three Democrats voted with them, which is substantially less than the 13 currently serving Democrats who voted against the bill in the first place, and many less than prominent Republicans had been predicting. On health-care reform, the two parties are moving further apart rather than closer...

Hacking
Earlier this week someone tried to hack my WoW account by hacking my gmail account (which the account I use to log in to WoW.) When they couldn’t break into my account (thank goodness for authenticators) they used my gmail as a base to attempt to spam, steal and sell other people’s accounts.
I didn’t notice for a couple of days, I’m not on gmail much.

Thanks sharing what looks like some wonderful books that I’m looking forward to reading :)
Anytime, in case it wasn’t clear… I REALLY recommend reading The Gargoyle by Andrew Davidson. (and no I do not work for, nor am I affiliated with Andrew Davidson in any way.)

I have to respectfully disagree. I am a good cook. For me a recipe is basically a guideline… one I never stick exactly to and am always experimenting with. You won’t find my recipe for Rum Pumpkin Pie in any cookbook, unless someone copies mine and prints it in one....
