Yo Sonic High-Colonic

I went for ice cream, which is stupid. I'm lactose-intolerant. Still, once a year, in the summer, I suffer for the cause!

Me: I'd like a whatever-whatever-yum, a large, please.
Sonic Gal: Okay. Is this your first time?
Me: Um... pardon me?
Sonic Gal: Is this your first time?
Me: Uh. Are you asking if I'm a virgin? I mean, I'm 45!
Sonic Gal: [laughs for a while] No -- I meant, "Have you had this, before?" If not, and you don't like it, I'll let you have something else.
Me: Oh. Well, no -- this is a new one on me, but I'll risk it.
Sonic Gal: [laughs] Okay! Your total is $3.27...

Ode to a Hairball

Hairball, hairball, in my shoe

This is sloven accumulation

Tuckered Out

Adaptation

I seem to be more serious when I make comments, elsewhere.

Maybe I need a blog to consolidate those thoughts. Or maybe I can do this here, between pussy pictures. :)

Anyway!

If you guys [the GOP] were the villagers in “The Boy Who Cried Wolf,” not only would the boy not have been left alone to be eaten by wolves, but he’d also have a multi-billion no-bid contract to peep in your windows to make sure no wolves were being secreted amongst you.

The Fat Guy Beard

I once found a cartoon somewhere, the upshot of which was that fat guys weren't fooling anyone, wearing a beard that only reaches their jawline. I know!

I do it because of this. Note the density and direction below the green zone.

For Whom The Beer Trolls

From the rather excellent weighted-polling site, fivethirtyeight.com

One can imagine Obama and Feingold holding a "Save our Jobs" rally outside Anheuser-Busch headquarters in St. Louis, with Feingold promising to hold hearings on the InBev merger and Obama pledging to appoint FTC commissioners who will aggressively defend American interests. John McCain, because of his wife's interests in the transaction, would be in no position to rebut their proposals.

That's meat-and-potatoes politics at its best, and nothing goes better with meat and potatoes than a little beer.

Usually not.

The Politics Of Fear

The reaction of top Bush Administration officials to the ICRC report, from what I can gather, has been defensive and dismissive. They reject the ICRC’s legal analysis as incorrect. Yet my reporting shows that inside the White House there has been growing fear of criminal prosecution, particularly after the Supreme Court ruled in the Hamdan case that the Geneva Conventions applied to the treatment of the detainees. This nervousness resulted in the successful effort to add retroactive immunity to the Military Commission Act. Cheney personally spearheaded this effort. Fear of the consequences of exposure also weighed heavily in discussions about whether to shut the CIA program down. In White House meetings, Cheney warned that if they transferred the CIA’s prisoners to Guantanamo, “people will want to know where they have been—and what we’ve been doing with them.” Alberto Gonzales, a source said, “scared” everyone about the possibility of war crimes prosecutions. It was on their minds.

Tweet

I love Twitter.

I love it even more when it's running. :)

I love it when I use TweetDeck, 'cause I can group my peeps.

I like this photo.

If there were a human there, instead of a dog, how many of us would see an Iraqi?

Dear Senator Obama

You'll no doubt be asked about this, today.

I would recommend against staying the course that Bill Burton took, and instead...

"Yes, I saw the cover. In fact, I have a call in to Mr. Blitt, now. I'd like to buy the original, if he will part with it. I would be proud to display his artwork in the Oval Office.

"You see, while The New Yorker magazine intended to highlight the absurdity of some of the smears and rumors that have gone on in this campaign about me, about my family -- when I am president, this will serve to remind me every day that some people will always believe the worst about any politician. It will also serve to remind me that I work for the people, and the work we will accomplish together, as Americans, will in eight years time make these caricatures seem all the more absurd, indeed. Let's get to work!"

UPDATE: Looks like Obama's sticking with righteous indignation, so far. MISTAKE.

You Know, I AM Insane

... but I think Karl Rove's exit of the country supposedly on the date of his Subpoena to Appear before the U.S. House of Representatives Judiciary Committee is telling.

So hot is the speculation that war-crimes trials will eventually follow in foreign or international courts that Lawrence Wilkerson, Colin Powell’s former chief of staff, has publicly advised Mr. Feith, Mr. Addington and Alberto Gonzales, among others, to “never travel outside the U.S., except perhaps to Saudi Arabia and Israel.” But while we wait for the wheels of justice to grind slowly, there are immediate fears to tend. Ms. Mayer’s book helps cement the case that America’s use of torture has betrayed not just American values but our national security, right to the present day.

I suspect we'll see a lot of reports of deaths, both here and overseas, of key Bush administration officials. Mostly overseas, and mostly in 4Q, 2008/January, 2009.

Why do you doubt this?

A Zappa Tune

One Two Three Four!
Feelin' sorry
Feelin' sad
So many ugly people
I feel bad

I'm so cute
They're so homely
Some of them
At home 'n' lonely
Wish they could be
Very cute like me
But they will never
Get to be
Some folks got it
Some folks don't
Some so ugly
They never won't
