The characteristics of Aphrodite have bewildered philosophers who, like Plato, made a distinction between the two aspects of the goddess, one Uranian "celestial," as the goddess of pure love, and Pandemian, or "popular," as the goddess presiding over ordinary love affairs.

Etymology: I couldn’t find the etymology, double grades to the student who brings it to class!

The only reason I am posting a link to this illiterate, pandemian rant is to announce that I have come across a columnist that makes Maureen Dowd's prose seem positively stately.

Also, this makes me so happy I no longer live in San Francisco.

Meanwhile, if some kind soul could explain to me what this is all about, I would be ever so grateful.

The baby has had a bit of a runny nose for a few days. This morning for about an hour she had been gagging a little and threw up twice... I thought it was just the sinus drainage. I picked her up and thought I'd try rocking her to sleep. Well, when I sat down with her she opened her mouth really wide to scream (she didn't want to sleep) and she had a STICKER on the roof of her mouth in the very back! It was a little round sticker that covers the screws on the cheap wooden entertainment center. It was pretty small and hard to get out too. She's a human vaccuum! No idea how she got the sticker off to put into her mouth.
