Hyperdrive?

EVERY year, the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics awards prizes for the best papers presented at its annual conference. Last year's winner in the nuclear and future flight category went to a paper calling for experimental tests of an astonishing new type of engine. According to the paper, this hyperdrive motor would propel a craft through another dimension at enormous speeds. It could leave Earth at lunchtime and get to the moon in time for dinner. There's just one catch: the idea relies on an obscure and largely unrecognised kind of physics.

Violence Against Women Act! I've spent all goddamn day in deposition about provisions of that act. I can never get away!

As women in today's patriarchal society, we can never escape violence.

The third annual rally to proclaim God's support for Bush's judicial nominees, sponsored by the Family Research Council, was held at Greater Exodus Baptist Church, an African-American congregation in downtown Philadelphia.

....

Greater Exodus Baptist Church is pastored by the Rev. Herb Lusk, a charismatic former tailback for the Philadelphia Eagles and one of Bush's staunchest backers among black clergymen. Lusk, who endorsed Bush from his church via video at the 2000 Republican National Convention, has been awarded more than $1 million in grants under the president's faith-based initiative. In Lusk's view, the central divide in American life is not racial or economic but religious. Decrying "discrimination against people of God," he bellowed: "My brothers and sisters, I will not go down without a fight!" The largely black audience jumped to their feet, cheering and clapping. "Be careful how you fool with the church!" Lusk thundered. "Don't fool with the church because the church has buried many critics. All the critics we have not buried, we're making funeral arrangements for!"

I'd take the 8888 pretty post number as a sign that your writing will rock. As always.

It's totally in character for me to space like that (I really shouldn't leave the kitchen when cooking), but usually I get warned sooner!

Given that this is how I started my recent fire, I'm hugging my smoke detector tightly. I just have it on a bookshelf almost at the ceiling but not on the bracket due to the twitchy. That way I can move it to the floor when it goes off while I am cooking and move it back. Taking the battery out has led me down the path to sometimes forgetting to replace it.

Last week's Waking the Dead is disturbing me. The aquakiller is hot. I mean, it is disturbing me for a lot of reasons but those I expect.

Bonus Houseses tonight. I haven't seen the first either.
