Harold Pinter won the Nobel prize.

Woo [pause] hoo!

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.

There is something in the nearby vicinity that keeps cackling a mechanical little cackle. Given the frantic tapping I hear whenever it starts, it is either someone playing some annoying game on the computer, in which case TURN OFF THE FUCKING SOUND or one of those annoying holiday "decorations" in which case WHERE IS IT SO I CAN SMASH IT.

Also, with the self tanner stuff, does the oddly foody (I can't really define it, sort of ...buttery) smell not drive every one else nuts?

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

Dude. It's just like the Paris/bobblehead chick breakup.

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

I was never under the impression that Cheney liked anyone.

ha! maybe Cheney's wife.

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.

The Gap has one that my friend highly recommended. They were out when I went to find one, though.

Woo [pause] hoo!

Hee!

Scola, where did you get your lunch?

Hmm. I don't see any on the Gap bra page. Maybe they're out out.

Wow. Vitamin Water's green tea drink has 10g of sugar less per serving (that's 25g/bottle) than the Sobe.
