Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
OK, now I'm confused.
eta: Although now Teppy's post makes more sense.

Off to bake cupcakes for dw's birthday.
Whoa, you're baking something for your husband's birthday? The last time we had cake at home for my birthday, I had to make the cake.
Um....
From Salon:
What's the frequency, Kenneth?
At the beginning of a press briefing at the Pentagon today, George W. Bush took a few relatively tough questions about Hurricane Rita, the administration's failure to capture Osama bin Laden and Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, what he's going to cut to pay for Hurricane Katrina and why it's taking so long to secure Iraq's border with Syria. Just as it seemed that the president needed the breather that a friendly, Jeff Gannon-style query might provide, Bush called for a question from someone named Bianca.
There was silence.
"Nobody named Bianca?" Bush asked. "Well, sorry Bianca's not here. I'll be glad to answer her question."
When another reporter -- someone who wasn't Bianca -- offered to ask a question in her stead, Bush said he was "just trying to spread the joy around of asking a question." A minute or two after that, a female reporter tried to put a question to the president.
"Are you Bianca?" Bush asked.
"No I'm not," she said, "Anita -- from Fox News."
"OK," Bush said. "I was looking for Bianca. I'm sorry."
I go off to get lunch, there's a whole new thread. Nifty.
Um....
I'll second that and add a WTF?
Zort!
So was the Commander-in-Chiefbot told there would be a planted reporter named Bianca lobbing him softball questions, or did Cheney's hospitalization result in faulty programming not being corrected?
