I just thought it might be you because you always seem to find the wierdest, coolest things to link to.

And yet, he has never linked to my youngest brother.

Have people heard this?

CNN suspended commentator Robert Novak indefinitely after he swore and walked off the set Thursday during a debate with Democratic operative James Carville

A friend of mine is convinced that Novak is starting to lose his shit, as he waits to see if he'll have to serve jail time....

Have people heard this?

I just caught a fleeting thing about this on the nightly news. I chortled with glee at Novak's pain.

Yeah, Schadenfreude is bad... with certain exceptions... now and then....

Normally I don't link to Whiskey Bar - cause I figure you either already read it or are not interested in political commentary by a brilliant, funny, bitter liberal.

Also I'm pretty hard to shock these days. I know where we are heading and why we are in this handbasket.

However:

A provision tucked into the 1,724-page energy bill ... would ease export restrictions on bomb-grade uranium, a lucrative victory for a Canadian medical manufacturer and its well-wired Washington lobbyists.

The Burr Amendment -- named for its sponsor, Sen. Richard Burr (R-N.C.) -- would reverse a 13-year-old U.S. policy banning exports of weapons-grade uranium unless the recipients agree to start converting their reactors to use less-dangerous uranium

...By contrast, Nordion already has enough highly enriched uranium to make one or two Hiroshima-size bombs, and its factories do not have to meet the same security standards as Energy Department facilities.

Every medical function enriched uranium can perform can be done without enriched uranium - at a higher cost. Apparently raising costs for a large Republican campaign contributor is too high a price to pay to keep Al Queda from acquiring nuclear weapons. Billmon refers to this as the "Arm Osama Amendment" and suggest we have enter the "hazy area between corruption and treason". He has a point.

I'm always surprised when anything this administration does shocks me.

Since it has not yet expired - here is the full Washingtonpost article:

Oh, god, this sounds like hell. Who volunteers for stuff like that? Worse yet, shells out $30????

I saw a thing on those on Real Sex or similar a few months ago.

I am so much more likely to have sex with a guy I just met (just kidding, ma) than cuddle a bunch of strangers. Greg Grunberg needs to give me a hug, but that's about it.

Me, too. But I'm married, so I don't get much of either.

But you're a mother now! Cuddles are a core competency!
