Wow, flea, that is weird!
I mean, let's say you did kill us. Or didn't. There could be torture. Whatever. But somehow you found the goods. What would your cut be?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
A conciliatory move, or something? An attempt, even without involving him in person, to include him in the family?

Dude, maybe this story has already been posted, but whoa...
The AP has a video of the briefing about Katrina that Bush listened to, and he tells the local officials that the feds will be there for them right away. I supposed he probably believed that, but he sure as heck didn't do anything to make it happen. Also, Mike Brown doesn't seem as clueless as he has been made out to be.
I haven't seen much about this story in the regular news, but then my news in mostly cnn.com and I might have just missed it.
Seeing the video is more of a whoa factor than reading about it. They knew the levees were in trouble and they knew that the superdome was likely to become a secondary disaster.

I think of my mother as really nice, but surprisingly formidable. Not nuts at all. I'm not sure what to make of fleaMom's suggestion.

My suspicion is she still feels guilty about the divorce, and the kids' resulting distant relationships (though in fact those are my father's fault and not the fault of the divorce - we lived with him 3 months a year until age 18).
Or, you know, she could be nuts, which has other points backing it up.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
So we sent a client some new progams and SQL scripts, etc. The client called and said the script was erroring. My boss spent an hour trying to figure out what was wrong. I came over, and after ten seconds of looking at the script made a guess what the problem was. My boss dismissed my guess, but it turned out to be right. Yay team me!

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
The more the men talked up "Crash" and its wizardry with interlocking plots about race, the less exciting this year's Oscar celebration came to seem. Serious movie people trying to inject themselves into that glorious narcissist's bacchanal just doesn't work. It's better to cede the laurels to the sexiest spray-tanned people alive; it's their night.
Touche, New York Times.

I love that David Carr is all over the Oscars. I love David Carr!
