Interesting, I'm learning what "kicked to the curb" means. I was thinking the other direction, getting kicked from the road to the curb.
It comes from being set out where the trash gets picked up, with so little respect that instead of placing you there, they kick you. Got it.

A really nice story about web CMSes by Brent Simmons, who I had the honor of working with at UserLand many years ago. http://bit.ly/MEdw

Joe Biden has it, but Nancy Pelosi doesn't. http://bit.ly/PO7X
@JoeTrippi -- that's right, the DNC is the wrong place to organize the people. I'm not a Dem, never will be. Maybe we should do it JT?
A Jew and an Italian. It's got possibilities. :-)
@lvdjgarcia -- if you're going to see a movie instead of the Superbowl, may I recommend The Reader? It's excellent.
They don't have too many Jews in the Obama Administration (yeah I know about Rahm, he counts) and I don't think there's even one Italian.
Unless I'm missing someone! Speaking of missing someone, haven't given out the hug yet today. Who am I going to embarass! :-)
I'm going to play it safe today, and send hugs to Salt Lake City to two very dear friends, one from a long time ago, and one not so long.
But before that, let me send a {*hug*} to Phil Windley, also in SLC, probably my only Republican friend, to thank him letting us have Obama.
And to @nakedjen and @jodim -- two deeply soulful hugs from your bud in Beserkeley. {**hug**} and {**hug**}
Before you go to bed, think about this, when you wake up tomorrow, 1/12 of 2009 will be behind us. Ridiculous.
Now wait a minute -- but if you actually wake up tomorrow, count your blessings. Some people won't wake up. :-(
@robynmcintyre says the older we get the faster it goes. very very true. i have a theory about that. remind me to write it up tomorrow.
I gotta say my replies are getting great. Funny, wistful even metaphysical. When you put out hugs amazing shit comes back.
Now I'd like Obama to do an interview with Ha'aretz and say that some of his relatives are Jewish. That would kick ass!
