Have people heard this?
I just caught a fleeting thing about this on the nightly news. I chortled with glee at Novak's pain.
Now, this would be the perfect time for a swear word.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

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

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Oh, god, this sounds like hell. Who volunteers for stuff like that? Worse yet, shells out $30????

Shit's all sorts of different now.
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.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
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!

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

You mean this isn't why you bought the cuddle lounge?
t Very confused.

I think she's planning on hosting a few. It's how one pays for the cuddle lounge.
