It was snowing at 7:15 this morning. And thundering.
And it just did it again!
Spring? Weird.
You got all kinds of learnin' and you made me look the fool without tryin', and yet here I am with a gun to your head. That's 'cause I got people with me. People who trust each other, who do for each other, and ain't always lookin' for the advantage.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Snow? For real? Bah. I just decided yesterday that I was done with coats! Maybe not.

So, the cow-orker that I really dislike? Totally got busted for going to get an oil change this morning without 1) telling anyone, and 2) clocking out.

Is anyone watching The Unit?
Yep. I've thrown over House for it. And it certainly played that way.
Given the way the FCC has been all nutters lately, I'm oft surprised by some of the stuff network rahrah primetime slips in, and in such a way they can totally get away with that. As I was watching NCIS, I was snorting about how many naked (dead) bodies they show, using a bright light effect to wash out the key parts. Barely.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Is anyone watching The Unit?
Yes, but not in real-time (I'm 2 eps behind right now).

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

I was thinking the same thing last night.

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
Another one bringing honor and dignity back to the White House
Brian J. Doyle, DOB 4/7/50, the Deputy Press Secretary for the U.S. Department of Homeland Security's Office of Public Affairs in Washington, D.C., was arrested this evening at his residence in Silver Springs, Maryland, on 23 Polk County charges related to the use of a computer to seduce a child and transmitting harmful materials to a minor.
On March 12, 2006, Doyle contacted a 14-year-old girl whose profile was posted on the Internet, and initiated a sexually explicit conversation with her. The girl was actually an undercover Polk County Sheriff s Computer Crimes detective. Doyle knew that the girl was 14 years old, and he told her who he was and that he worked for the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. During future online chats, Doyle gave the undercover detective posing as a 14-year-old girl his office phone number and his government-issued cell phone number, so that they could have telephone conversations, in addition to their online chatting. Doyle used the Internet to send hard-core pornographic movie clips to the girl and used the AOL Instant Messenger chat service to have explicit sexual conversations with her.
The investigation revealed that the phone numbers given to the detective were in fact Doyle s, and that the AOL account used was registered to Doyle. Doyle also sent photos of himself to the detective, which were not sexually explicit but did serve to further positively identify him.
