Silence means security silence means approval
Rita is now #3 with a bullet on the Most Intense Hurricanes Of All Time list.
They didn't get a good read with the dropsonde, so they think it's 898mb. Only Gilbert's 888 and the Labor Day Hurricane's 892 are ahead of it now.
Monster, people.
And wife, noted that King Felix is pitching pretty well. Home shortly.

What is even happening?
Political chatter was kept to a minimum at both events, with performers mostly sticking to the program: championing aid for New Orleans. But a few artists angrily denounced government officials for their slow response to Katrina's devastation. "I Wish New Orleans was dry and Washington was underwater," said Tom Waits. Bette Midler had even stronger words: "I got a letter from the Republican Party the other day. I wrote back, 'Go fuck yourself.'" She then added, "George Bush is a fan of mine -- he came to see me in the Seventies. His coke dealer brought him."

I swear I didn't jinx it. I only obliquely hinted to Dylan, and I was waiting till the end of this inning (the 7th) to call the neighbors to make sure they were watching.

Holy shit.
CNN is showing the approach of a JetBlue plane coming in for an emergency landing at LAX with landing gear problems. I don't want to look but I can't look away.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Transcript of Bill Mahr on Tucker Carlson's show: [link] Various video links here: [link]
CARLSON: Almost aesthetic level, aren't you repulsed by Clinton's never ending self-righteousness? The other day, over the weekend, he says essentially, I would have done a better job responding to Katrina because I am a better person, great guy, look at me, great administration. Doesn't the constant bragging make you want to throw up?
MAHER: You know what makes me want to throw up, seeing dead bodies floating in New Orleans, that makes me want to throw up.
CARLSON: Yes.
MAHER: That kind of stuff—that would not have happened under Bill Clinton.
Why does Tucker even have a show?

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Hivemom question, because I'm too lazy to look it up before I call my mother: when do you get to start using the regular part of a travel system? When is the kidlet old enough/large enough to stroller without the carseat part?

Can't help with that one, unfortunately. We never had a travel system.

If I only had a brain...
Isn't it basically about neck support? As soon as the kid can reliably hold its own head upright for long periods of time, a regular stroller is fine.
