When the announcer said "and that was Nipsey Rusell..." I went into hysterics, and I couldn't stop laughing long enough to explain to the people I was with why it was so funny.

Wasn't Nipsey Russell on Hollywood Squares a lot?

Maybe Match Game?

Maybe both.

Harriet Miers is the official machine justice, a made woman, the one whose only committment and loyalty will be to Karl Rove and George Bush.

I do tend to wonder how long this sort of loyalty would last once the "made woman" became a Supreme Court Justice. I mean, yes, there's loyalty based on believing in the cause of your superiors and all that. And then there's loyalty based on hitching your wagon to someone else's star. Once the robes are on, the second kind of loyalty wouldn't exactly mean much. What are they gonna do, fire her?

I want a t-shirt that says: @@→∞

OK, see it works with the arrow. I tried it once without, and it just looked silly. But this, I like.

Also, I am leaving for Florida right now, yay. And I get to see Laura, yay-er. Good weeks, all.
