That Miers thing was out of the blue. And yeah, how tone-deaf do you have to be to employ political patronage NOW?
I'll be fine. I'll be your bounty, Jubal Early. And I'll just fade away.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
So the whole university network is down, apparently. No shared drive, no email, etc. Not like I wanted to do work, but it is slightly annoying.

move out and draw fire
We went home with some women we met on the train in Algeria, and as soon as they got in their gate (not door, gate), they dumped the djellabas to reveal shirts and jeans underneath.
Same deal in Yemen. Either at home or at the embassy, the covers came off.
When out and about, though, I was impressed by the fancy shoes. Even with full coverage, you can still dress to impress.
Some of my family in Malaysia wear baju
Probably "baju baju"...I only ever found polyester ones, which were no fun to wear. Yay for your fam for finding non-polys.

That's... reassuring. I guess.

When we kill people it makes the policemen flustered and stern.
So it's possible Cheney - and Bush himself - may be charged with criminal conspiracy.
Won't be the first time it's happened... To a Republican... In the past 40 years...
Am I the only one who sees patterns like this or does G. Gordon Liddy actually have strong enough telepsychic powers to make people forget what he did?

I don't suppose anyone know what Yule's coefficient Q is? Or does?
It measures the strength of association for categorical data. It is most often used by epidemiologists looking at the association between a dichotomous risk factor (e.g. urban versus rural) and the presence or absence of a disease. If you think of it the same way as an ordinary correlation you won't be far off.

Only my boss would self-describe as having his "knickers in a twist." Hee! He just came over and I was reading Gawker, but honestly, what else could I be doing?

Maybe this is why Bush wants as many good buddies on the Supreme Court as possible. [Note: I have no real idea of a criminal conspiracy case involving Cheney, Bush, et al would actually go to the Supreme Court.]

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
there are important things going on in this world ... I know that . however - one more smoke dectector is chirping. Why not replace all the batteries? I have 4 smoke dectors ( all within 10 feet of each other) and 3 batteries.
