Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Even conservatives are up in arms: [link] [link via Volokh]. My favorite comment: "George Bush Hates Conservative People."

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.

The floor keeps vibrating. Not enough to be enjoyable, but enough to be disconcerting.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Universal's plan re: Serenity was always a limited theatrical release followed by making the real money on DVD sales. It's not "bad news" for a film to be performing exactly as its producers/distributor expected it to.

In other news from my job, they did order big logo envelopes after all. The stickers must have been a stop-gap measure. Phew!!
