10 Things
Dinesh D'souza penned this list of the 10 things he loves about the US. Today's required reading, and for a reason.
Alison, She Who Must Be Adored, is a Canadian citizen, born in Edmonton. On Monday, she and her family will be interviewing with the INS and taking the citizenship test required to become a naturalized American citizen. Big day, big honor. I'm very excited for her.
So, without further ado, Go Ali!
I know this is early, but there is no way in hell I will be functioning at a high enough level to think before Monday afternoon.

Incidentally, it was fantastic to hang out with Ali and RoverP at Steve's house. Great time. Thanks.

You know, except for us and stuff.
