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.
Aren't they something. They're like butterflies, or little pieces of wrapping paper blowing around.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
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.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
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?

In open competition with Tommyrot's link proving that humans really really suck, I would like to offer this as evidence that being an asshole can cross over into the banality of evil:
Zito lends a hand: Barry Zito is reaching out to a Pennsylvania boy who was victimized by his T-ball coach over playing time. The sad tale involved a coach who told one of his players to harm a teammate, who's autistic, because the coach didn't want to play the boy the league minimum three innings.
According to a report in the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review, the coach, Mark Reed Downs Jr., is accused of trying to pay $25 to a 7-year-old teammate to injure the 8-year-old autistic boy.
According to local police, the boy was hit by baseballs behind his left ear and in the groin and treated at a hospital.
Zito, who's on the Positive Coaching Alliance's national advisory board, invited the boy and his family to be guests at an A's game and meet the team, if transportation can be arranged, perhaps later in the season in Cleveland or Baltimore, if not in Oakland.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
Couldn't Zito go beat the crap out of the coach? I think that would be excellent.
