Speaking of wacky politics and commenting on them, Newsweek has an article on the Colbert Report.

Well, duh. Blowjobs are nonprocreative; also, they involve mouths and penises and are just icky, and nice presidents just say no. Nasty presidents get whopped upside the head with the rule of law.

It's a totally different vibe from wiretappings and warrants and email surveillance and library record scanning and cause-of-war misdirection, which do involve mouths, but only mouths saying words, not mouths touching penises (except, possibly, metaphorically).

It's like you never took a civics class, or something.

Is there some exception to this, where we must enforce the rule of law on the president if the issue involved blowjobs?

Tommyrot! THAT was a matter of MORALS! We MUST uphold this country's morals, even if it means kicking the president out of office!

England prevails!
(England prevails, leader.)

This is the voice of Fate, signing off.

Sweet, Steph.

The camel experiment in California. In case anyone's interested.

Let's be fair. I cannot think of a single reason why a blowjob would improve national security, whereas I can think of scenarios in which evil ratfinkery would achieve that goal.

Then again, executing all citizens of this country whose names fall in the first half of the alphabet would undoubtedly improve national security too, because that is 150,000,000 fewer people to have to keep track of and protect.

First name or last name? Just wondering where I stand.

note to self: start using maiden name again once Nutty is elected President

start using maiden name again once Nutty is elected President

Ummm, doesn't your maiden name start with a letter from the first half of the alphabet?

Before I went to bed I thought I broke my fever, temp read normal. Now up from nap it is back up to 101. unacceptable.

Don't sleep! The germs will eat you!
