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

Cats especially are notoriously fickle when it comes to voting preferences....

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

This year I was flabbergasted to find Memphis liquor stores closed on July 4th (along with a lot of restaurants).

I had that happen...somewhere. San Mateo? I was very surprised. Oh, wait, might have been Veteran's Day. It was a holiday that I didn't expect things to be closed for, that's for sure. and I couldn't find anywhere to eat, that I remember.

Ah, blue laws. When I was a kid in Baton Rouge they'd put tape across the shelves of things you weren't llowed to buy on Sunday - alcohol, of course (though there might have been a % minimum, seems to me beer and wine coolers were ok, but not wine or liquor), can openers, paint brushes. Those were weird laws and I think they are no more.

When I lived in Grass Valley, CA, I went grocery shopping at 4 AM because that's when I had the time and the motivation and had a shopping list and everything. I was marinating something, so I needed a bottle of wine. Apparently, the same rule abot bars closing at 2 AM applied to selling wine - the girl at the checkout said I couldn't buy it until after 6 or 8 or something. It was very confusing to my sleep deprived self to not be able to buy something that was on my list because of what time it was.

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

One is never too old to cry.

My wireless headset is crackly in its reception and no one else's is. No fair.

Apropos of nothing, but I saw msbelle and I wanted to share something about Eureka: HMOG, was I the only one that thought the almost-kiss made Colin look very, very hot ?

Carry on.

Aillean, hotter than the kiss with Eugenia a couple eps before?

Some conservatives are complaining about ABC/Disney's "documentary" on Clinton and 9/11. From James Taranto of the WSJ:

"The Clintonites may have a point here. A few years ago, when the shoe was on the other foot, we were happy to see CBS scotch 'The Reagans.'"

eta: This is by Glenn Greenwald:

Unlike CBS did for the much less consequential The Reagans, Disney/ABC, at least for now, is refusing to refrain from broadcasting this proaganda. C&L has the video (and transcript) of the statement from Disney/ABC here, in which they attack critics of the film by claiming: "No one has seen the final version of the film–because the editing process is not yet complete, so criticisms of film specifics are premature and irresponsible."

That makes no sense. The only reason anyone knows anything about the content of the film is because they sent it around to the likes of Rush Limbaugh and Hugh Hewitt precisely to induce them to comment (favorably) on it. If it's "premature and irresponsible" to comment on the film because it's not complete yet, why did they send around screeners to (right-wing) commentators? It only became "irresponsible" once the commentary went from drooling partisan praise to critiques of the film's fabrications and inaccuracies.

In addition to the obvious inequities, CBS' quick and complete cave-in to conservative protests over The Regans, set next to ABC's combative attack on critics of this film, tell you all you need to know about the merits of the incessent, petulant complaints from Bush supporters about the "liberal MSM."

Oh, and this is what Disney said last year about Michael Moore's film:

One [Disney] executive told the paper it did not want to be seen taking sides in the election and risk alienating customers of different political views.

"It's not in the interest of any major corporation to be dragged into a highly charged partisan political battle," said the executive, who was not identified by the paper.

Ooh, yes, that surprised me with hotness. Colin's got some good kiss-fu. It was the mouth opening, like he wanted to kiss her ...

Ahem. Yeah, ok, now I feel a little awkward. Not a stalker! Promise!
