No. You're missing the point. The design of the thing is functional. The plan is not to shoot you. The plan is to get the girl. If there's no girl, then the plan, well, is like the room.

Bag the crypto. Say what is on your mind.

Wait. Somebody is paying Karl Rove?

They ain't no justice.

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.

More people were killed falling off ladders in 2005 than there had been by all terrorist attacks in the history of the United States.

Or to quote - er - me: a Terrible Cowardice

We need to break the frenzy of fear and bloodlust that makes people willing to give up any liberty, to commit any atrocity if Daddy will just save them. The sane people of American need take a new pledge – a pledge against cowards and cowardice. A pledge that their fear of terrorism is not so great they will sacrifice their liberties, their judgment, their sacred honor to stop it. A pledge that fear of terrorism will not cause them to support the continued destruction of Iraq or the terror bombing of Lebanon, or new wars on Iran or Syria. A pledge that they understand that 911 did not change everything – that the laws of physics were not repealed, that bluster was not magically transformed into bravery, that our memorial to the murder of 3,000 people was not to say “evil be thou my good”.

I've waited ALL WEEK to watch my taped copy of Hugh Laurie's Actor's Studio, and instead I discover an episode of Project Runway. Woes.

Thankfully it's Bravo, and they'll show it again. Probably a million times.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Been there, taped that. Snarled at the tv afterwards.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Guenter Grass served in the SS:

The Waffen-SS was the combat section of the organization and extended to 38 divisions. It was declared part of a criminal organisation at the Nuremberg Nazi trials after the war.

Does that make him a war criminal? I'm not sure from the article.

Before you Seattle Buffistas start ... pony up something better than Powell's Books.

Heh. I was, well, nodding my head.

Because honestly, PDX is vastly superior to Seattle. Thus my dream of someday moving there and settling into a nice little bungalow with an organic garden and a whole metric fuckload of roses.

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

Stop talking about moving to PDX. If more Buffistas moved there I might be convinced, and I HATE MOVING.

In other news, ep 2 of Life On Mars is very good. t is humming Paul McCartney and Wings

What does PDX stand for?
