OK, then. Depressing.
I'm very annoyed with local news. Earlier today (like 11 am), they shut down the Ft. McHenry Bridge and Tunnel due to "terrorist" threats. Big traffic snarl. But then they re-opened around 1, and looks like nothing, though they are questioning a bunch of people. But they keep doing a crawl across the bottom of the screen as if it were Happening!Now! Way to incite panic, people. Well, for those inclined to panic. I'm busy rolling my eyes because I get pulled aside all the time at the airport for my evil terrorist nail clippers when I could do seriously more damage with my wiley DD+ underwire.
Go pack, woman! Where are you off to this time?
OK, just heard a sound inside my apartment like a toaster popping.
It was not the toaster. I'm confused.
CO. for like half a second and 5 hours of driving.
Good lord. They should book you to a nearer airport! Though I know the wilds of the west, heh. Admire the mountains! Out here, we only have glorified hills...
Fear me, for I have now used a birthday gift certificate to buy both the Serenity role-playing game and the soundtrack of Xanadu. What does it say about me that I chose the latter after finding out I wouldn't be able to buy the import soundtrack to Gloomy Sunday with it?
Hello plaid skirts, I've missed you so.
Yes, I am pulling out the winter clothes.
Salon, re: Condi being elevated:
As stories pushing the Plame investigation higher up the chain of command swirl about -- Cheney's face is on CNN right now -- perhaps it would be wise to remember this. The Bush White House is full of masterful spinners, and they're good at playing the expectations game. Maybe they're really concerned that Cheney will be indicted or at least implicated in Plame's outing. But maybe they know that, if they get enough people thinking that Cheney may face charges, the indictment of a Karl Rove or a Scooter Libby might suddenly come off as no big thing.
My guess is that this is what's going on.
OTOH, a Cheney resignation might finally shut those up who are saying that there was nothing wrong with outing Plame.
