Cripes! The items on the top floor should be okay, though. I'm so sorry, Dana.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Oh, wow, Dana. I'm so sorry. I hope the top story turns out to be okay. I can't imagine. We'll keep hoping for the best. And at least you've been able to get a look at it anyway.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

I'm sorry, Dana. I hope things are salvageable.

If I only had a brain...

Oh, hell.

News from the New Orleans Convention Center, which was nobody's responsibility. The National Guard were there and did nothing because it wasn't their job. A SWAT team showed up, rescued two white women whose relatives were in the police force, and left. Not our job, man...

Yeah, the after-action memo from Chertoff makes it clear he had no idea what his job was...or what he thought it was had nothing to do with helping the afflicted people.

This is what I mean about a failure of leadership. A bureaucracy only goes so far.

Brown's singing like a canary. Not his fault, Chertoff's, Louisiana's, Bush's...

Ooh, Plei, can I borrow when you're done?

Clearly, we'll need a Slings and Arrows tree.

I would snag Spooks, but I'm watching on DVD, so I'm still on S2. Oh well.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Read that last night. Got sick about it.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

Everything is always someone else's fault. Don't you know how the blame game is played??

In cruder news, a crude joke. That is crude. But funny.

Q: What's George Bush's position on Roe v. Wade?

A: He really doesn't care how people get out of New Orleans.

Okay, I think it's funny.
