Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I was hoping that Abby would say "Get a clue, dumbass," but she said:
DEAR BRIDE: Please do not be concerned about breaking a fashion rule. A white wedding dress signifies that it is the bride's first marriage. Because you have not been married before, you may wear a white bridal gown regardless of what time of year your wedding is held. The sales people at your local bridal shop will be happy to guide you in making your selection.
Dear Abby would never call someone dumbass.

Hmmm, Sunday morning. What better time for a post on international currency issues....
Why the declining dollar matters: [link]
This is the current cover story in Newsweek. Nice to see the mainstream press dealing with it. But one odd thing about the article is that it focuses almost entirely on the US trade deficit, and makes little mention on the role that our skyrocketing budget deficit plays in the decline of the dollar. I was under the impression that they played a roughly equal role. Am I wrong, or does Newsweek not want to blame the Bush administration for its share of the problem?
I don't really expect an answer to that on a Sunday morning, because Sunday morning is traditionally the Time When the Actuaries Sleep....
The serial killer thing has already aired.
I'm 40 minutes into this, and so far he's a love god, with many power-lust shots, but not that much to actually do.

Me too! Except I already designed mine, lo these 20 years ago. There's been no impetus to actually update it, what with the lack of a him.
I know, but I was hoping.
Yeah, I meant "...and more's the pity."
NYT article on Adult Swim: Destroying Television, Toon by Toon
Any etiquette book will tell you the three exceptions to white after Labor Day are brides, nurses, and babies.
Did you notice the way that Ann sneaked in "white for bride's first wedding"? Go ahead, slam the barn door all you like; the horse is gone, and was the day that Marla Maples wore white to marry Donald Trump.
