Getting FISA warrants is almost a rubber stamp, so I gotta wonder what the heck are they doing that they won't even go to FISA.
Yeah, that creeps me out big time.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Ha HA! I'm not going to have to go in for a final tomorrow night. That is AWESOME. I love the fact that even though the University says they're open, my academic dean says it's "unacceptable" to make us come in for a test.

You know, it is very interesting avoiding the holiday party when your office is 3 doors down from your big boss's and it is a party-in-the-halls.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
I try not to give gift cards because of the whole "If everyone gives each other gift cards/cash, why bother?" thing. But I'm also not above asking family members "Hey, give a few ideas of what you want for Christmas." which helps. I had to get my brother a gift card this year because I normally get him a video game of some kind, but he's been off in the Navy and buying video games left and right to give him something to do while at sea, so I have no idea what he does and doesn't have at this point.
As for recieving gift cards, I don't mind, as long as it's somewhere I shop anyway. Best Buy being the the preferred, simply because I'm likely to spend money there anyway, so if the card doesn't cover the whole thing, it's fine.
In the north side where? That's more than enough time for the highway part, but how far you have to go from the highway can make a difference.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Excellent, Jesse!
Sarameg, have you tried under the desk?
I love a mother that buys her daughter a dagger.
Guess what my dad brought me back from China?

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I love gift certificates if they are to a place I enjoy. Money I have to spend on myself--yahoo! I give my nieces and nephews Amazon gift cards. I've done so for the last five years and they seem to LOVE them. I remember being a kid and wanting to pick out my own music and not having enough money to do so and I assume it's the same with them.

Sarameg, have you tried under the desk?
It's always a possibility. Also, I have a cubicle wall so if I sit close enough to the desk, you can't see me from the door.
Though they may be on to that.

I'm going to split with my wife and proclaim that I am pro-gift card in a lot of cases.
Bold move, my friend. Bold. Move.
