Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh, good LORD. Not only is the name of my school grammatically non-sensical, I just got a PDF of a promotional flyer for an event with jackass capitalization. "AdMissioN is free buT sPACe is lIMITed. You MusT reserve A seAT."

COME ON, PEOPLE. This is a fucking institution of higher learning. Could we not make ourselves look like jackasses?!?!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Unsurprisingly, shrift, I don't.

But it reminds me -- does anyone have any not-all-there bra recommendations? I've tried one of those adhesive bras (the light ones, the paper) but it was too wrinkly underneath a sheer top.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I think the jackass capitalization is intended to cause panic, resulting in everyone making their reservations.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Does anyone have any sunless tanning product recommendations?

Jergens Natural Glow for fair skin, shrift.

I tried it on my legs to just sort of see how it all went, it was pretty good, but then I got distracted by shiny metal objects and kept forgetting to use it and my legs went back to their usual shade of pizza dough.

Jesse, you've just made me panic. Thanks a lot. Now I'll never sleep.

Man, I wish the 10am meeting hadn't been pushed back to 11. Mess with my nap schedule, yo. And it's on a project I'm supposed to have handed off to the new guy.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

shrift, I used the foam nuetragena(sp?) stuff this summer. It goes on pretty dark (so you can see where it is), but then you wash the surface stuff off.

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

Ok, this is a bunch of rumor and speculation, but....

Dick Cheney and George W. Bush don't like each other anymore.

A few months ago, I heard of a lunch conversation that Cheney had with a political type in Wyoming. I have no idea if it's true or not, but it makes some sense. Here's the tale:

Cheney has been getting tired of being called upon to fix Bush's mistakes. Cheney said Bush is almost incapable of making any decision. He waffles and waffles. Then, once he makes a decision, he refuses to change it. Because of his born-again faith, he says "It's in the hands of G-d now" and washes his hands of it. Then Cheney is called in to repair the damage.

If this story is even remotely true, this may have been the final straw for Cheney, and he decided to let Bush try to wiggle his way out of his Katrina inaction on his own.

...

Apparently, according to two journalist sources of mine, when Rove learned that he might have violated the law, he turned on Cheney and Libby and made it clear that he held them responsible for the problem they had created for the administration. The protracted silence on this topic from the White House masks considerable tension between the Office of the President and the Office of the Vice President.

And that was a year ago. Now, it's starting to remind us of Watergate, and that famous Time cover with all the president's men in the Nixon White House pointing fingers at each other. The latest report is that the Bush administration is becoming more balkanized, with Rove on the outs and chief of staff Andrew Card and communications chief Dan Bartlett -- not one of the sharpest tools in the political shed -- guiding Bush.

And more speculation/rumors:

which has Howard Fineman describing an alleged pre-indictment (political) death struggle pitting Karl Rove against Andy Card.
