Nilly, it looks like I'm safe for now. That could change but I think all the notifications went out tuesday. They are so cagey about it, I can't be certain.
Cacophony. That's pretty. What's it mean?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Back to a subject from a few days ago - this was news to me:
Did Justice Sandra Day O'Connor intend her resignation letter--taking note of "the integrity of the Court and its role under our Constitutional structure"--as a barely veiled shot at the Bush Administration's political aims? Wishful thinking, perhaps. But O'Connor's unusual condition of departure--her resignation effective only upon confirmation of her successor--narrows the President's political options, forestalling a recess appointment and evoking memories of Earl Warren, who held his seat for a full term after submitting his resignation when President Johnson's nomination of Abe Fortas collapsed.
Bush has done a recess appointment before, so it's nice that he can't do the same for O'Connor's position.

Oh, I had good news yesterday.
Raise. Big one. And retroactive back to freaking February, which means my next check should be a doozy.
Meantime, of course, I've got like $40 to see me through until the fifteenth.

I just saw a bumpersticker for sale that read "Bush is a idiot." [sic]

Um.
Nora/Nilly - thanks.
I've been listening to the BBC Five Live stream to keep up to date.
One moment that made me proud was during the Police press conference when a reporter asked about "islamic terrorism". The spokesman very politely berated the reporter for linking "islam" with "terrorism".

Congratulations, brenda!
I've spentthe last hour looking for hotel rooms for the wrong dates. Now that I've got the right dates, everything's already booked.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
I was longing yesterday for the day when I'll be in London again, and I'm still longing for it today.
Yes this. If only as a two fingered salute to the fuckers who did this.
Exactly.
So glad to hear your brother is OK.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I just saw a really cool-looking car outside, but I don't know what it was. The logo on the back looked like interlocked Ms (M's?). Anyone?
