Actually, it's Thursday night.
Willow: Something evil-crashed to earth in this. Then it broke out and slithered away to do badness.
Giles: Well, in all fairness, we don't really know about the "slithered" part. Anya: No, no, I'm sure it frisked about like a fluffy lamb.

What I find not tolerable is when I call my credit card companies for some kind of issue and they use that as an excuse to try to sell me shit! WTF?
No. No. NO. NO!

Katrina exposed serious problems in our response capability at all levels of government, and to the extent that the federal government didn't fully do it's job right, I take responsibility," Bush said. "I want to know what went right and what went wrong."
"If anything went wrong, I take responsibility for it." This is the kind of taking responsibility that's not.

Betsy, you have inadvertently earwormed me with one of the "Edmonton Block Heater" songs from the Hard Core Logo tribute album.
It's Friday, it's Friday night...

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Actually, it's Thursday night.
Whoops, sorry for the false alarm. I swear I read tonight, though, so I'm going to say it's Yahoo News's fault.

Why does he always speak on Thursday nights? It isn't Must See Bush night.

Because books.
But Survivor starts on Thursday night...

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
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?
If it appears on the guide, you're ok. If not, you may want to add an hour to the expected taping time.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Dude! What is GWB about, always scheduling his press conferences for Thursday primetime! The networks will soon be in open revolt, because Nobody puts CSI in a corner!!
In the annals of Clothing I Want:
fiery red T-shirts bearing a portrait of a beret-wearing, Che Guevera-like Johnny Damon above the line: ''Resist Yankee Hegemony! Wage Relentless Struggle Against the Steinbrenner Clique! Strive to Emulate Comrade Johnny!"
As described in the Globe this morning. It's not just that it's a pro-Boston, anti-Yankees short, and I don't care two figs for Johnny Damon, but I have such a soft spot of hilarious fake-Politburo propaganda.
In the annals of phone solicitations: I let them complete the first round of the pitch, say, "No thank you, I am not interested," and hang up immediately. Easy-peasy, no fluster, and the sales shmuck can get on with his/her quota.
In the annals of beets: love beets, steamed or boiled. Cooled and tossed in a salad is nice. Pickled beets are not right -- why would you need to pickle a vegetable designed to keep for months in a root cellar?

Ah. That explains it. That makes a lot more sense than pre-empting HOUSE (and probably at least part BONES).
