Get up...get up, you stupid piece of... What did you do that for? What's wrong with you? Didn't you hear a word he said? All of you! You think there's someone just going to drop money on you?! Money they could use?! Well, there ain't people like that. There's just people like me.

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

do folks know that season one DVDs of The Tick animated series go on sale tomorrow?

I do! I've also been putting off buying LoTR, and I'm going to take the plunge and buy the new editions that come out tomorrow.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Adolf Hitler and Russian leader Stalin were possessed by the Devil, the Vatican's chief exorcist has claimed.

Father Gabriele Amorth who is Pope Benedict XVI's 'caster out of demons' made his comments during an interview with Vatican Radio.

Father Amorth said: "Of course the Devil exists and he can not only possess a single person but also groups and entire populations.

"I am convinced that the Nazis were all possessed. All you have to do is think about what Hitler - and Stalin did. Almost certainly they were possessed by the Devil.

"You can tell by their behaviour and their actions, from the horrors they committed and the atrocities that were committed on their orders. That's why we need to defend society from demons."

So the only evidence this guy has is that Hitler and Stalin did terrible things. Well, um....

eta: I need to check out some books... on Stalin.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

I finally put up more pics of Rosie and Gilda.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

OMG, aurelia, a couple of those should go on Cute Overload!

Thanks!

They will both cuddle up to me and they come to me for attention but they still hide if anyone else comes over. I'm still trying to convince Gilda to hold still long enough for a comb to do any good.

And my scars from getting them into the carrier for our trip to MI in June are fading nicely. The trip back was much easier.

Latest on Karr:

Colorado prosecutors won't charge schoolteacher John Mark Karr with the murder of 6-year-old JonBenet Ramsey after tests showed his DNA does not match DNA found in her underwear, two local TV stations reported on Monday.

Still, I'm glad our media paid so much attention to this vital issue, instead of such fluff as the President being found to have violated the Constitution....

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Who knows what might have happened if they had waited for, say, plausible evidence before they ran with the story 24-7? Doesn't bear thinking about.

ION, it looks like November outside.
