When they put up the "please don't wet the toilet paper rolls" sign in the bathroom -- lo, they stopped getting randomly wet.

The sign is gone now.

The rolls are getting wet again.

Really wet.

What is wrong with people?

I picked this up somewhere else. It's a passage from Harriet Miers's answers to the Senate questionnaire.

My experience on the City Council helps me understand the interplay between serving on a policy making board and serving as a judge. An example, of this distinction can be seen in a vote of the council to ban flag burning. The Council was free to state its policy position, we were against flag burning. The Supreme Court’s role was to determine whether our Constitution allows such a ban. The City Council was anxious to encourage minority and women-owned businesses, but our processes had to conform to equal protection requirements, as well.

My City Council service and working in economic development activities afforded me with special insight into the importance of a stable, respected, and fair judiciary in which the public can have confidence.

I copy-check my email better than this woman copy-checks an application to the US Senate to become one of the most powerful people in the world.

ETA: of course, having said that, I've edited this twice. But how was I supposed to know the italics tag doesn't persist across paragraphs?

ETA: make that three edits.

Hi everyone! Thanks for the birthday wishes. And Happy Birthday, Calli!

Nilly, I'm so glad you are still around. I love your explanation of Jewish traditions and services. I was hoping you could explain to me what it means when someone dies between Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur. That's when my father passed away. I know it's propitious, but I don't really know why.

Yep. Me, too. Suddenly Miers's assessment of Dubya's brilliance is coming into focus.

This is really really gross.

Working fine for me, Kevin.

Ta, JenP. I was just being too impatient for the page to load.

Dept. of Random Shallowness:

I recently stumbled on this TomKat article from way back in June: [link] and I am so baffled at never having come across it before. Was this discussed? Did I just completely skip over the hivemind's @@ and squickage over the tremendous creepiness of the missing 16 days? Did I in fact participate, and have I completely forgotten because the laryngitis caused the bottom half of my brain to fall out my ass?

Dept. of Random Vindictiveness:

Tom DeLay possibly getting arrested, even for just a minute before instantly making bail and going back about his shady business, is just so beautiful. I can't wait to see Jon Stewart bounce and squee about it tonight.

The grossest part to me, LeN, is the fact that they started getting wet again as soon as the signs came down. Like *that's* supposed to be business as usual.

Or like people won't know NOT to do it without a sign expressly saying not to. Maybe there should be "Don't stab yourself in the eye with a fork" signs. And "Don't set fire to your cube-mate's hair."
