What a disgusting person the reverend is! But everyone here thinks that, I'm sure.
Saffron: He's my husband. Mal: Well, who in the damn galaxy ain't?

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.

Silence means security silence means approval
Rep. Baker of Baton Rouge is overheard telling lobbyists: "We finally cleaned up public housing in New Orleans. We couldn't do it, but God did."
God, through a spokeswoman, said "Damn! Knew I should have aimed at Baton Rouge!"

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

Nice. Hope he gets the firepit with extra brimstone.

So what are people doing for the weekend?
Tonight: Mariners game with dw and Annabel.
Tomorrow: RWA meeting, followed by lunch with writer types.
Sunday: First church service with choir since the spring. Writers conference planning meeting.
A bit busier than ideal, but it's baseball, singing, and hanging out with writers. I like.

One more for the caboose on the Train to Hell:
While on the tour [of the Astrodome] with top administration officials from Washington, including U.S. Secretary of Labor Elaine L. Chao and U.S. Treasury Secretary John W. Snow, DeLay stopped to chat with three young boys resting on cots.
The congressman likened their stay to being at camp and asked, "Now tell me the truth boys, is this kind of fun?"

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
No, there will be a recreation of the Thunderdome where the citizens were trapped, floor slick with shit and rotting bodies shoved in corners, and that is where all the incompetent holes who bungled disaster relief will be held, for all eternity.

Allyson even plans good Hell. Now, that's an event planner.

"In the equation E = mc⬧, c⬧ is a pretty big honking number." - Scola
Oh, man. It's clear that the attempt is to be jovial and lightening spirits, but they're getting the scale all wrong. I almost feel sorry for them, and then I think, nobody's making them open their mouths.
To be honest, politics in the "needless bureaucracy and ego" sense aside, I would be uneasy with Bush invoking something called the "Insurrection Act" as well. On the other hand, my Math Thinking Skills teacher was talking on Wednesday about the hierarchy of "properties of people you want to hire": a decent human being, a person who can do the job, a person who masters the job, and finally someone who can adapt to changing circumstances and figure out how to do a job that nobody has done before. Which seems to have been the problem here. Maybe all presidential candidates should have to face the Kobayashi Maru.
