"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

I love how Republican politicians that are still addled by reality-based thinking are scurrying for cover when Bush tries to go out campaigning on their behalf.

It's almost as if they don't realize that the American public has never trusted or approved of him more, and he's just trying to share his popularity with them in the upcoming elections...

If I only had a brain...

ARRGH. My husband has the flu and is now braindead... and I do mean dead, there are seconds-long pauses between sentences. This is the third episode of the same damned flu this winter, and as far as I'm concerned it is time to skip the reruns and go direct to DVD.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

George W. Bush. President. Visionary. Leper. Lock up your Republicans, he's coming to town!

President Bush Talks `kerfuffle'

(03-20) 15:31 PST CLEVELAND, (AP) --

President Bush is known as a plainspoken man, a straight-talker. So how did a word like "kerfuffle" come out of his mouth?

It's not an everyday word; it means a commotion or fuss. Bush casually used it during a question-and-answer session after a speech at the City Club here.

Suela, I know a fab landscaper but I'm not sure what your price range is. He's a friend of a friend and I couldn't get him to take a job for me (because I think he knows how strapped I am). But I've seen his work and it's GREAT.

Spidra, how's his pricing? I don't need anything really complex, but I do need fencing, mulching, and removal of my horrible juniper hedges. I'm about to start calling places for bids, so if he's willing to give free estimates, that'd be great.

profile addy should be good if you want to pass along his contact info

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.

My friend's friend is probably too pricy for that sort of work, but the guy I'm working with now is very reasonable and quite up to that sort of thing. I'll email his info to you.

No. He's not allowed to use that word. That's our word. Make him take it back.

I've figured out what was up with all the weird droning my friend's two year old was doing this weekend. With this cold (which she gave me) it not only sounds funny, it actually makes your head feel a little better.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Man am I tired. My arms have been slightly numb and too heavy to lift all day. It's a really weird sensation. I'm in a constant state of zoned-out. I feel oogey. Must be the Evian Bird Flu.

Debet articulates what I was thinking.

I went to Best Buy to try to buy a new power cord for my computer, which seems to be shorting out. The Geek Squad window people tested my cord, and that's not the problem, but they did point me to a local computer store that might be able to help. Of course, since I got home, the computer is working fine. Still, to the shop tomorrow. So if I'm dark for a while, it's because my baby's in the shop. Poor thing.
