Priscilla Owen? Jesus Christ.
She may say she's met him, but JC can't remember when. She says it was at a church meeting in 1978, but JC is pretty sure he was visiting Oral Roberts wearing his 900 Foot Tall Messiah costume that particular afternoon.
Oh, yeah. There was this time I was pinned down by this guy that played left tackle for varsity... Well, at least he used to before he was a vampire... Anyway, he had this really, really thick neck, and all I had was a little, little Exact-O knife ... You're not loving this story.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil
From the latest Molly Ivins column:
Some of you may have heard me observe a time or two -- going back to when George W. was still governor of Texas -- that the trouble with the guy is that while he is good at politics, he stinks at governance. It bores him, he's not interested, he thinks government is bad to begin with and everything would be done better if it were contracted out to corporations.
We can now safely assert that W. has stacked much of the federal government with people like himself. And what you get when you put people in charge of government who don't believe in government and who are not interested in running it well is... what happened after Hurricane Katrina.
...I am so sick of this man and everything he represents -- all the sleazy, smug, self-righteous graft and corruption and "Christian" moralizing and cynicism and tax cuts for all his smug, rich buddies.

But when he left, after making sure everything was working and goo-gooing at the baby, he never handed me a work order.
I totally think this was the phone company version of Robert De Niro's character in Brazil. Mustn't tell.
It looks like Bush and his people really think nominating a woman or a member of a minority group score them points so people aren't really allowed to object. As though they should be able to say, "But look, she's a girl! Don't you have to like her? What would NOW say?" And NOW, of course, says, "Um, sorry, you misunderstood the word 'feminism'."

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
OK, I have the most shallow DVR question ever. The president is apparently going to be on TV at 9 tonight. Do I need to do anything to make sure I get all of my shows?

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Happy Birthday billytea!
Persistant salespeople aren't just part of telemarketing. The other day the doorbell rang and there was this guy there trying to sell me new windows and doors(he claimed he had just finished a job in our neighborhood, but I dunno about that). Took a couple of times of me saying "We're not interested" for him to go away.

Oh feh. That means the new shows on Fox are going to get delayed. Frells up the plans for a W&P quite nicely.

I am glad it is not just me having an issue with this. But seriously, will the TiFaux know what to do?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I always tell customer service people when they've been great. I don't talk to telemarketers at all -- when I was working in telemarketing, the only acceptable reason for not making a sale was if the person hung up on you. So saying "I do not accept telephone solicitation" and hanging up the phone is really the most polite thing you can do. Telling them no any other way is a waste of their time and yours.
