I'm so tempted to buy this car: [link]
It's a 1982 Ford Granada, which came from the factory as a propane-fueled vehicle. Much less polluting that gas, and cheaper too. Fewer places to fuel it, though.
Darn your sinister attraction!

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

My cousin's daughter, joined the US Army (despite being a born and bred Cranadian) and is now on standby in Maryland to go to NO, instead of being at a wedding full of Newfoundlanders who all do that scream-laughing thing. (Which is terrifying to behold and deafening to experience.)

Well, this Marylander appreciates her going down to help. And I'm sure she's glad to skirt the Newfies;) If someone needs to take her to lunch, let me know.

Believe me, I almost lost my hearing during the scream laughing (which happened everytime another cousin arrived.) She may be better off on standby.
And thanks for the offer!

Bwah! She should have included in the "Mormons" region the fallout from nuclear tests.

Kanye West went off-script, said the slow response time was because most of the victims were poor and black, and closed with "George Bush doesn't care about black people."
But was Kanye West the one at the Live 8 concert who promoted a conspiracy theory about AIDS being a deliberate attempt to kill all the black people? I caught a snippet of that and now I can't remember if it was him or not. But if that was West, I don't want him on my side.
I don't know. I think charges of racism actually diminish the fucked-up-ness of what's happened. I'm not convinced that Bush cares about white people more than black people. Because I don't believe he cares about people, period. Hell, I'm not sure he understands that other people exist if he's not looking directly at them. A good game of peekaboo would rock his world.
