Freshman Connecticut Senator Chris Murphy is sworn in by Vice President Joe Biden.
Chris Murphy’s one-year-old son is also apparently sworn in as a Senator, prompting Murphy to Tweet about the “crisis” of the adorable but unconstitional 101st Senator.
His older son’s face is kiiiilling me. Kids are the best.
This year I resolve to reread from the mixed files of mrs basil e frankweiler for the tenth time. Then I will probably request insane yuletide fic in the fall.
Fifteen-year-old Blaer Bjarkardottir (shown left in the photo) is suing Iceland for the right to use her given name, which means “light breeze” in Icelandic. The Scandinavian state has replaced her name with “Stulka” (“girl) on all of her official documents, as “Blaer” is not listed on the country’s Personal Names Register, or a list of 1712 male and 1853 female names that Icelandic officials believe “will protect children from embarrassment.”
Blaer’s mother, Bjork Eidsdottir (shown right) did not realize her daughter’s name wasn’t pre-approved on the list until a panel turned it down on the grounds that “Blaer” takes a masculine article. This case marks the first time an Iceland resident has challenged a names committee decision in court.
Go Blaer and all that, but wait, that’s her MOM at right? jeez thems good genes.
