Ack, Frank. That sucks.

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.

Aaaand vw's car just died. On an on-ramp. She's waiting for AAA and the state police. What a not-great day to be a Somervillain. Especially with this news about Theo's swimsuit!

I see the Bush Administration is trying to defend it's policy of unauthorized wiretaps by saying that the FISA courts are too slow.
Glad to see that the end of the article quotes someone that points out that the defense is complete bullshit since FISA can grant approval retroactively.
Also, if you let the president get away with it with that defense, then that means any president can authorize spying on citizens at any time without any oversight at all.

Yeah, 72 hours retroactively.
Oh dear on the VW car situation. I hope the glow of her bio grade keeps up her spirits!

Yeah, that's something. I'm wondering if I should just go back to bed to see if I can slip under the radar of whatever hates us today.

Hmmm. And Frank's car got stripped. And Daniel just got fired.
I think everybody should just hunker down and avoid contact with people today. It's not a good day.

Poor vw. And poor Theodosia--a good suit is hard to find. Especially in December.
So, oh wise hivemind, I have a wine question. What would be a decent wine to serve with ham? We're having ham and six bajillion sides for Christmas dinner, and I have no earthly idea what wine to serve with it. Something under $15 would be good, in as much as I'm too cheap to shell out for the good stuff when at least one of the folks drinking the wine will be inclined to put ice cubes in it.
