And Kaylee, what the hell's goin' on in the engine room? Were there monkeys? Some terrifying space monkeys maybe got loose?

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

It's likely true. I'm having a few people from home over this weekend, and I'm wondering if it won't be nice for the 4 of us to just sit around, drink and bitch and cry.

Thanks y'all. I've got to get to bed. It's nearly 2:30. So glad for a long weekend.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Dennis Hastert thinks the Royals should be bulldozed and not rebuilt.

Snerk

And again with unearthly interludes - Jupiter and Venus gettin' cozy with each other this evening.

I always hoped those two crazy kids would get together.

I caught the last few minutes of Ted Koppel's interview of the director of FEMA, and was delighted to see Ted kick Fed ass!!

That rocked! He was asking all the questions I wanted to ask and called bullshit on the lame answers.

LAST SUNDAY.

Amen, Heather. I know Smirky doesn't watch the news and it seems the FEMA director doesn't either, but you'd think someone would've caught a weather report. Busses would've been a hell of a lot easier before the streets were full of water.

Catharsis is good for the soul.

I just watched the interview and Ted was impressive. I especially liked his, You were surprised that so many didn't evacuate? Why were you surprised? How did you think they were getting out? It's not like you sent anyone to go get them.

Your tag here.

Gronk, I gotta quit waking up at 2 am.

...

rerun I haven't seen

Is it still a rerun if you haven't seen it?

...

Whales fishing for gulls? Too funny.

...

Tom, don't sweat it. As others have pointed out, it sounds like you each needed something different. I know from experience that right now you're probably feeling "why doesn't she love meeee??" but with a little time you'll see that you two were in different places in your lives. Also, since this is your first forray into dating in 10 years, I'd encourage you to keep up the momentum and try again with another hawt chick soon. Don't let this get you down.

....

Glad to hear that Ted's asking the tough questions that somebody better have a good fucking answer for. I anticipate a Frontline on this disaster.

...

Heather, sorry to hear about your troubles. The government had better start setting up some camps with proper food, shelter, sanitation and security. Not everyone has a Heather to run to for help.

...

I'm excited about seeing the Transporter 2 movie this weekend. Granted, plot-wise the first wasn't the greatest, but it was mindless fun, which I think is fine on occaision.

What is even happening?

It's likely true. I'm having a few people from home over this weekend, and I'm wondering if it won't be nice for the 4 of us to just sit around, drink and bitch and cry.

Heather, this sounds like a good plan. I wish I could just hug you right now.

Now tagless for your comfort.

I just heard the NO Mayor's interview on WWL. Wow.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

I need to understand the rules here:

People this morning said that hurricane talk wasn't supposed to be here. I thought no hurricane talk was in Bitches and that hurricane talk could be here. Did I misunderstand?


Cashmere - Sep 02, 2005 2:16:34 am PDT #3995 of 10002
Now tagless for your comfort.

I know we were trying to keep it lighter in Bitches yesterday but I don't think a complete moratorium has been imposed anywhere.

I was skimming here to catch stuff while going there to decompress and talk about other things.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

So, is it true that we've turned away help from other countries? Or is that only partially true?

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

We definitely turned away help from Canada. I don't know about the other countries.

For instance, I understand Saudi Arabia is pumping more oil. I doubt we turned away that help.
