And can we trust a man who tells us to turn the other cheek to protect us in the War on Terra?
I would feel a little uneasy about the prospect of the 43rd President being the son of the 41st and then the 44th President being the wife of the 42nd.
This. If something like that happened in some small developing country, we'd for sure put air quotes around "democracy" when we talked about it.
I swear, in 20 years it's going to be Chelsea vs. one of the third generation Bushes. And I don't care if they're all the most brilliant political minds of their generation--I don't wanna live in a pseudo-monarchy tugged back and forth between feuding dynasties.
To be fair, the left would probably have a field day if He were running as a Republican.
We thought Bush's record on crime and punishment was bad. But that was nothing compared to This Man's public stance!
"And if thy right eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell. And if thy right hand offend thee, cut it off, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell."
Eye plucking? Hand cutting? Is this the sort of country our Founding Fathers wanted?
[Then the segue into the dangers of the Religious Right and contact info for the ACLU]
Trudy, is the problem happening when you flush it? Or all by itself?
If it's the former then probably it's the float sticking (although it could be the valve needs to be replaced - especially if the problem occurs all by itself). I think once a long time ago I solved this problem with a drop or two of oil on the float/valve mechanism.
You can shut off the water to the toilet and then flush it to drain the tank so you can inspect things....
It just occurred to me that the whole plucking out/cutting off of bad body parts is a non-trivial part of cancer management. Huh.
Thank you, Tom! That makes so much sense!
Oh, and here is a little something to make us all smile:
Bloomburg News is now reporting that Karl Rove, senior adviser to the President and deputy chief of staff, and Lewis Libby, chief of staff to Vice President Cheney, are being investigated for having lied to a federal grand jury about how they learned the identity of a covert CIA agent, Valerie Plame.

I have to admit to be kinda lazy when it comes to fixing toilets unless it's something I can fix with some jiggling. I just replace the whole assembly since it's not that expensive to do. I can't really make a guess as to the problem without looking at it.
To Clarence Thomas's seat.
After disinfecting carefully.

That old Washington cliché, "It's not the crime; it's the coverup," is a cliché for a reason....
I twisted a blue thing. It seems to have solved the toidy problem. I'm going to flush again to know for certain.
Can we start singing that "Na na NAH NAH" song to Rove now?
Alright, the tightened (righty tighty!) blue thing now has no running noise, but the tank only fills about half way. Other than conserving water (which is a good thing) am I changing something that matters?
