OK, seriously, why didn't I know how adorable Tommy Lee Goes To College is? Damn, I love VH1 on the weekends.
Spike? It's you. It's really you! My therapist thought I was holding on to false hope, but…I knew you'd come back. You're like…you're like Gandalf the White, resurrected from the pit of the Balrog, more beautiful than ever. Oh…he's alive Frodo. He's alive.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
From a Newsweek article about federal response to Katrina:
Gov. Kathleen Babineaux Blanco, a motherly but steely figure known by the nickname Queen Bee, knew that she needed help. But she wasn't quite sure what. At about 8 p.m., she spoke to Bush. "Mr. President," she said, "we need your help. We need everything you've got."
Bush, the governor later recalled, was reassuring. But the conversation was all a little vague. Blanco did not specifically ask for a massive intervention by the active-duty military. "She wouldn't know the 82nd Airborne from the Harlem Boys' Choir," said an official in the governor's office, who did not wish to be identified talking about his boss's conversations with the president. There are a number of steps Bush could have taken, short of a full-scale federal takeover, like ordering the military to take over the pitiful and (by now) largely broken emergency communications system throughout the region. But the president, who was in San Diego preparing to give a speech the next day on the war in Iraq, went to bed.

The movie "The Siege", about martial law in Brooklyn after a string of Al Qaeda type bombings, was on History Channel last night. It went straight to the denial of citizen rights, a scene of the torture and murder by the military of a suspected terrorist (who turned out to be innocent), and such like that. Holy cow, someone at History Channel's got some balls.

Yes. Hopefully this will last a while before it turns to the Jesus channel around the Holidays

I'd been wondering if that movie would ever see the light of day again.

Blanco didn't know the secret word(s): "There's an election soon and the Republican candidates could use some support."

Just the bearer of glad tiddings. *sigh* It was such a surreal dayWas it ever. I pretty much went from reading your posts, to packing up Julia and Chris to go to Ben's Kindergarten Tea Party.
