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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
OMG OMG OMG. New most un-favorite task at work. My boss just handed me an envelope full of cab receipts. I have to go through, guess what he would have tipped them, go through his calendar to see what they might have been for, and then fill out the reimbursement form.

The article linked above (I'll link it again for reference)
Is craziness. NO was (is?) a really fucked up place post-Katrina. I can't believe sheriffs were pointing guns in people's faces like that. Damn.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Flying Spaghetti Monster: The Game!
My mouse pointer won't show up when I have it over the game. But still fun!
I love how you're supposed to avoid the school administrators.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
Whee! A bugmenot that worked on the first try. (I often have to go through about a dozen.)

Bush's speech on MONDAY, delivered at 10 am, as Katrina was lashing the Gulf Coast -- [link]
In the speech, which is focused on many other things (which shows he was focused on other things, not on Katrina), note the two (total, two) paragraphs on Katrina and what he says, specifically:
"I know my fellow citizens here in Arizona and across the country are saying our prayers for those affected by the -- Hurricane Katrina. Our Gulf Coast is getting hit and hit hard. I want the folks there on the Gulf Coast to know that the federal government is prepared to help you when the storm passes. I want to thank the governors of the affected regions for mobilizing assets prior to the arrival of the storm to help citizens avoid this devastating storm.
"I urge the citizens there in the region to continue to listen to the local authorities. Don't abandon your shelters until you're given clearance by the local authorities. Take precautions because this is a dangerous storm. When the storm passes, the federal government has got assets and resources that we'll be deploying to help you. In the meantime, America will pray -- pray for the health and safety of all our citizens.

Also, I love the fact that if you just google "spaghetti," the third result is for the wikipedia entry on Flying Spaghetti Monsterism.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
When the storm passes, the federal government has got assets and resources that we'll be deploying to help you.
not only does this seem to be an evil lie-- "has got" seems like annoyingly folksy poor usage to me....
