Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

What's interesting to me is that Kos broke a story that is causing the House to send letters demanding an investigation, CNN is running the story, and that dude just "resigned" from the WH Press Corps.

Go Kos!

Well, not until they could link it into the Oval Office itself. Fuck, I thought Abu Ghraib was enough to take Rumsfeld out. I was wrong. Hence, the more cynicism. Then they made the guy who justified torture the new Attorney General, and cynicism seemed quaint.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

I need to focus on my getting of bonus rather than on the fact that I was criticized in my review today. I am far from a perfect employee: boo. I am an imperfect employee who is closer to buying a house: yay!
