No subscription to NYT, sorry--but there is this story about the Democrats response to the White House's failures of the past week. I liked Nancy Pelosi's comments:
At a news conference, Pelosi, D-Calif., said Bush's choice for head of the Federal Emergency Management Agency had ''absolutely no credentials.'' She related that she had urged Bush at the White House on Tuesday to fire Michael Brown.
''He said 'Why would I do that?''' Pelosi said.
'''I said because of all that went wrong, of all that didn't go right last week.' And he said 'What didn't go right?'''
''Oblivious, in denial, dangerous,'' she added.

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

Sorry, I should have mentioned that it was archived.
Thanks, brenda!

Oh. It got me in, so I posted. I can email it.
eta: Buuuuut, I closed the window and now it just takes me to an abstract. Bother.
One woman even wrote in to say that she had "conceived the spirit of our Divine Lord," the Flying Spaghetti Monster, while eating alone at the Olive Garden.
"I heard singing, and tomato sauce rained from the sky, and I saw angel hair pasta flying about with little farfalle wings and playing harps," she wrote. "It was beautiful." The Spaghetti Monster, she went on, impregnated her and told her, "You shall name Him ... Prego ... and He shall bring in a new era of love."flying about with little farfalle wings...

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
tommy, I just emailed it to your gmail account.

If I only had a brain...
Remember Michael D. Brown of FEMA? The one Bush thinks is doing a great job at FEMA?
Well, he isn't losing his great job. Far from it. He's just getting on a deputy to take over operational control of the search-and-rescue and recovery efforts along the Gulf Coast.
Because firing his ass would be admitting that something is wrong.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
As much as I love The Daily Show, their guests are allowed carte blanche to present the silliest science with a straight face. It's a daily show staffed by comedy writers on a deadline, not reporters and experts, so what can you do. But I don't know if I'm looking forward to the "scientists" they'll dredge up for an evolution "debate."
