W's behavior at the G8 summit is really starting to worry me.

But look at the way he delivers the set-up for Putin's punchline.

During a joint news conference Saturday in St. Petersburg, Bush said he raised concerns about democracy in Russia during a frank discussion with the Russian leader.

"I talked about my desire to promote institutional change in parts of the world, like Iraq where there's a free press and free religion, and I told him that a lot of people in our country would hope that Russia would do the same," Bush said.

To that, Putin replied, "We certainly would not want to have the same kind of democracy that they have in Iraq, quite honestly."

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

ConEd wants my building to turn off all unnecessary appliances. I would like to extend this definition to my desktop. If there's a blackout I can go home early!

What the hell does that mean? I don't really have anything unnecessary in my office. I could unplug the CLOCK, I suppose, but not sure how that would help.

Now tagless for your comfort.

But look at the way he delivers the set-up for Putin's punchline.

The shot of Putin belly kissing Bush on TDS made me shoot diet coke out of my nose.

It burns so good.

Maybe when Bush and Putin are both out of government they can do a comedy variety show in Branson. I'd go see it. Well, okay, no I wouldn't.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

If it's in Wikepedia, it must be true: Count Chocula:

Ernst Choukula was born the third child to Estonian landowers in the late autumn of 1873...

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

What the hell does that mean? I don't really have anything unnecessary in my office. I could unplug the CLOCK, I suppose, but not sure how that would help.

Seriously. I mean, they could lower the A/C -- it technically doesn't NEED to be 65 degrees in here, but that's about it.

Maybe when Bush and Putin are both out of government they can do a comedy variety show in Branson.

Don't forget Koizumi does karaoke!!

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Oh, goody. The AI has moved on to questioning my competence.

I'm afraid I can't do that Dana; I can't allow anything to jeopardize this mission.
