Shit's all sorts of different now.

I can't watch CNN coverage anymore. The women with babies are making me want to go get Em and just cuddle her even more than I already want to.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

But ridiculing ID by comparing it to alchemy, phlogiston, stork theory, and (in the classic application of Godwin's Law) holocaust revisionism?

In these authors' defence, two out of four of these theories were once, and for a long time, considered legitimate science, before science became more rigorous in its "oh yeah? Prove it!" hard-headedness.

I agree that the stork theory thing is a cheap shot, but the Holocaust revisionism thing is intended to shock -- just because there is "another side" to an argument doesn't mean the argument is legitimately a part of that class.

(In the Dewey Decimal System, the Holocaust goes in the 900s, under history, whereas Holocaust denial goes in the 000s, under controversial beliefs.)

Wow Allyson is pretty, it's a national shame that she's NGA.

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

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.

Can we talk about how pretty I am and how it's a travesty that I'm NGA?

You mean more than I already do, when I talk to Pete about my plans to move you to Seattle and find you cute boys?

Cute boys with hearts as black as pitch?

Well, we spent probably an hour talking about bread and cake last night. Since Allyson is a nummy treat, I think it's perfectly legitimate that we should similarly set aside an hour to talk about her today.

Wow. My coworker's husband is a regional manager for an EMS company here. He's now coordinating their efforts for NOLA - they sent 50 of their people down last night, and another 40 plus 20 ambulances this morning. The folks who went down last night were slated to relieve the people working the Superdome, and they at least initially weren't able to make that happen because of the gunfire, etc. She hasn't been able to reach him to find out what the situation is now. But something I hadn't thought of - Labor Day weekend is about the worst time something like this could have happened as far as emergency services go. They're normally strapped this weekend as is, and going into it down by a hundred or more people? Yikes. I'll be really interested to hear from her what he has to say about the situation - assuming she talks to him anytime soon. He only made it home for a couple of hours' sleep last night.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Allyson has the prettiest hair, too.
