I don't have TV but do you think he was going to be allowed to ask whatever he wanted to ask? I don't think so. Anyway, why watch Faux News when you get the crap direct?

haven't read it in a couple of years, but Master and Margarita by Mikhail Bulgakov is always on my recommend list.

Quote of the week: "The rest of you idiots actually seem to take [Anderson] Cooper seriously when he talks about how the IDF is going to "expel Hezbollah from Southern Lebanon." Christ, Hezbollah IS Southern Lebanon. You might as well try to expel ants."

Every time someone points out that list of names, I think it's funny that no one points out that it was another Muslim that ratted them out, not some sophisticated domestic spying program....

Hoax? No. Being used for political ends? Yes.

time's a-wastin' folks! are you going to waste another week in that cubicle or dealing with surly unappreciative customers? Hmm? ;-)

It's a little too much to be asking a government bureaucracy headed by these goobers to come up with a rational solution to anything. It's not too much to ask that they (or anyone) don't use it for obvious political purposes. And it is pretty effing obvious....

wow, pretty impressive to buy 23,000 songs. i'm sure the RIAA has an 'attaboy' for ya.

There goes any bottles of water too. Hope you don't mind feeling like a piece of beef jerky after that 12 hour LAX - SYD flight.

Well, I'm gullible that way. ;-)

I wonder what the white line spacing is? Would be interesting to work out his speed.

Just watch Congress in action and any press conference from the WHite House.

Did anyone unknown to you pack your bag today?

Ah, waiting for the 1am Red Line to Arlington. What memories! :barf:

The ST 545 from Redmond to Seattle isn't so bad, but I've seen a bit of an uptick in riders. They changed the schedule recently though so some of that may be migration from earlier/later rides. Also, one has to discount the early riders in the week who seem to be mainly jury duty types. I get on early enough to get a good seat and I get a lot of reading done on the bus. I admit, I *have* thought about a motorcycle though.

Haven't been out much this summer but now's a great time. Anyone want to go to Squamish and do some 5.8-5.9-possibly easy 10 routes? Can't leave before 8/12 because of a wedding. Have to be back in town on 8/18 for a previously planned even in the evening with the frau. Would be nice if you can drive so I don't have to steal the car but negotiable. Have rack (with some shiny new bits) and 60m rope. Help me burn some of my vacation time before THEY find some way to keep me from it.

They're always catching those goobers downtown when they exit the express lane and get off at Pine St. They roll up to the stop light and there's a smiling trooper handing 'em a nice shiny new ticket and a delay. It makes me smile in a small and petty kind of way.

I think it's not too much to ask that a president of the most powerful nation on Earth be able to handle a press conference without sounding like a frat boy after a weekend bender. It would also be nice if this didn't happen every time his handlers let him get within speaking distance of anyone from the press.

contacting the publisher and author would be more effective than simply complaining and telling people not to buy what is basically the only guide book to the area. suggestion: omit all the expletives when you do.

It's not my cat. I'm not sick. Sick would be fucking the cat, having it lick tuna water off your penis, or eating the cat. or all of the above in any order... I'm willing to bet there are, at least, a couple of psychotherapists out there willing to disagree with you on that. Then there's the whole issue of just because you haven't sinned (you haven't, right Mike?) doesn't mean sin doesn't dwell in your heart. But, since I'm not Catholic or anything, I'll leave that one for you to wrestle with.

Then: Now:

Nuthin' but trouble here, mate.

Another thing is to drive around your neighborhood a bit. You might be surprised to find your plants in some neighbors yard a few blocks away, especially if there is a new house or housing development going up. It wouldn't be the first time I've seen/read about that happening.
