One states that he doesn't know where his vision will take us, and uses general terms like "cosmos."
I hadn't thought of it like that, but that's totally the problem with the War On Terror -- I'm sorry, I mean the Global Struggle Against Extremism.
No, it's shiny! I like to meet new people. They've all got stories...

Global Struggle Against (Violent) Extremism
And what kind of crappy acronym is this anyway? They should've gone with the Global Rumble Against Violent Extremism.
No one ever asks me.

Man, I wish we had a rumble. That would be so hot.

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

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

And what kind of crappy acronym is this anyway?
Global SA(V)E vs. Global WoT. See, they are going to SAVE the world from terror....errr...extremism, comma, violent. How? By blowing the shit out of it, naturally.
Anyway, timelies. Had an apalling weekend. Took Friday and Monday off, so I could run a bunch of errands Friday, and head up to Maine Sat-Mon. I got the errands done (just), but unfortunately, I woke up Saturday feeling crappy, plus the friend I was hoping would be up in Maine couldn't go, so I bailed on that. Decided I'd meet said friend for brunch on Sunday. Unfortunately, I woke up Sunday feeling even worse (after sleeping something like 10 hours - at least 2-4 too much for me) so even that didn't happen. I got next to no sleep last night, so I took the day anyway, even though I probably should have just gone into work. And of course, now it's not even a nice day out, even though I'm feeling better, if tired.
Oh well, I got the new Harry Potter finished, at least. I've had less productive 4 day weekends, sadly.

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
Atkins files for Chapter 11.
Not surprised. The diet is dandy, but their products all taste crappy. If there is an Atkins version of something low-carb and a non-atkins version ALWAYS get the non-atkins.

Is there any answer other than 'Billy Idol' that actually interests you?
No, actually, there isn't, and I happily admit to scoping out the security setup between the crowd areas and the tour bus areas for possible avenues of approach.
