Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
It was 0 degrees this morning - woo hoo!
ION, it looks like Condi's speeches in Europe aren't going over entirely well.
"It's clear that the text of the speech was drafted by lawyers with the intention of misleading an audience," Andrew Tyrie, a Conservative member of Parliament, said in an interview. Mr. Tyrie is chairman of a recently formed nonpartisan committee that plans to investigate claims that the British government has tacitly condoned torture by allowing the United States to use its airspace to transport terrorist suspects to countries where they are subsequently tortured.
Parsing through the speech, Mr. Tyrie pointed out example after example where, he said, Ms. Rice was using surgically precise language to obfuscate and distract. By asserting, for instance, that the United States does not send suspects to countries where they "will be" tortured, Ms. Rice is protecting herself, Mr. Tyrie said, leaving open the possibility that they "may be" tortured in those countries.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Maybe Condi's view is that it all depends on what the meaning of "is" is?

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."
The Kristen invented that word (certainly, she was the first person I saw use it).
Alas, I'm pretty sure squick has a long and distinguished history.
Edit:
The term squick was introduced in the Usenet newsgroup alt.sex.bondage in the early 1990s to refer to an otherwise unremarkable act that crossed someone's personal boundaries in an extreme fashion

What is even happening?

Did anyone else read "Condi's" as "Cordi's"?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
but that's why they need to be TAUGHT NOT TO DO IT, not just forgiven.
Wait, what? Are you saying the purpose of schooling is to learn stuff you don't already know??

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

I'd really feel sorry for Cordi if she had to go to Europe to explain our policies on questioning terrorist suspects....

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
I suspect that Cordy would do a better job of it. But then again, I suspect that the nation would be a whole lot better off if GWB had her as one of the two or three people he talks to.

Sad, yet true.
