Thank you, Mr. President. Glad to be receiving communication.
Signed up for twitter updates from your abode today, too. Measures meant to produce an informed electorate, and encourage feedback, should be lauded.

Next flip your head over and back then tousle. ‘The baby powder trick always works well too’, notes Chrystal. ‘You can find the small bottles at the drug store.

To a deluxe apartment in the sky.
Movin on up,

We finally got a piece of the pie.”

Whenever Nielsen Hayden encounters a nasty post—an ad hominem attack, for example—she leaves it up but removes all the vowels: y r fckng sshl, for example. The result is incoherent enough that it’s neutered, yet coherent enough that no one can cry censorship. The comment hasn’t vanished.
