That was fun in a way that wasn't.
Recycle my note from yesterday and replace "intelligence level of associates" with "intelligence level of MIS staff" and you're on your way home.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

Quote correction, it was "a retarded haircut".
It's all pretty disturbing. CBC are reporting that there's one suspect whose dead, and they won't confirm any other suspects. But there are no confirmed dead among the victims, but one person was shot in the head.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Happy Birthday billytea!
I'm wearing a sweatshirt because I'm cold. In September. Something's not right here.

Did anyone see Men in Trees ? I watched it, okay part of it, because nothing else was on and it's supposedly set in Alaska. The scenery appears to be Southeast, but then the Alaskan dude tells the main character that she "forgot her mukluks" when she steps into the mud. I know that true realism is too much to ask for, but:
a) Mukluks weren't used in Southeast Alaska b) Mukluks wouldn't be used in rainy, muddy conditions. They're fur boots. Who wants to go around in fur boots in the mud?!
Ackpht!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
From a Salon article, talking about the Dixie Chicks:
They're true, old-fashioned liberals in the sense that they refuse to yield to hopelessness or lazy cynicism.
What is "lazy cynicism"? I happen to think my cynicism is vigorous and active....
