Is it just me, or is "Hastert" unsettingly close to "Hastur?"

Not just you, Raq.

More on the Fox thing:

See anything wrong with this graphic? The O'Reilly Factor ran it in not one, but two segments and posted it three times. I can understand if FOX and The Factor made an error the first time, but to post it repeatedly should be a firing offense, The most watched show on FOX News has now labeled the former Republican Congressman Mark Foley, who is in the middle of a sexual predator scandal that has Hastert's career on the ropes —a Democrat. Was it an error or done by choice? I report–you decide.

OK, this is so fucked up it's funny. Or not.

It's not just O'Reilly, but the Associated Press too:

[Dobson] touched on the uproar over former U.S. Rep. Mark Foley, D-Florida, who resigned Friday in a scandal over electronic messages he sent to former teenage male congressional pages.

The party affiliation that dare not speak its name.

Late Update: As of about 12:18 PM, the version of the AP story I linked to at the San Jose Mercury News has been corrected. But it must have been what the AP sent out over the wire. So I'm sure there are million more examples of it still out there.

And today I decided not to snack between breakfast at home and lunch. That was a timely-assed decision.

Fox really did nothing wrong. You see, if you do something immoral (excluding bribes), then you can no longer belong in the party of God and therefore must be a Democrat. Just like you have to be a witch if you weigh less than a duck.

This is a joke, right?

From childhood friends in the backstreets of Liverpool to producing the huge US primetime hit, American Idol, Ken and Nigel are a phenomenal success story. Nigel is currently executive producer and judge on FOX Broadcastings summer hit So You Think You Can Dance, and Ken is executive producer of the head to head ratings rival, NBCs Americas Got Talent and they are both enjoying the rewards and Hollywood lifestyle that come with a string of prime-time US network hits.

Everything they touch turns to TV gold, as the reality series follows the two highly successful, charismatic showmen as they venture into the vineyard abyss.

Originally planned as a consortium of buyers including Ryan Seacrest, Randy Jackson, Simon Cowell and Simon Fuller, one by one the investors pulled out leaving Nigel and Ken to purchase the beautiful 168 acre vineyard in Paso Robles, California alone.

Problems arise from the outset. Arriving at the vineyard dressed in designer clothing, Lythgoe and Warwick try to convince the jeans-clad owner of their interest in horticulture. From there the hilarities and struggles persist; business collaborations go south; wild boars cause chaos; potential profits dive; and vines become infested with rot.

Nigel and Ken refuse to give up on their lifelong dream, but will the vineyard be a success?

Can someone buy me this? It would greatly help my mood.

My friend, a database designer, just ranted at me about his day. Seems he got a panicked call from a user "OMG!!! ALL my documents are GONE!!! You have to help me!!! I clicked on Current Fiscal Year and there's nothing there!!!"

As if that wasn't punchline enough, it keeps going. She demanded that he create a view to show all the documents, not just by fiscal year. So he did. But that was too confusing, so she asked him to create a view that just showed this fiscal year. But there weren't any docs, so she panicked again. He tried to explain "No documents have been created yet this fiscal year. All the documents are from last year. You can see them in the Last Fiscal Year view. If someone creates 5 documents today, you'll see them in Current Fiscal Year."

Towards the end of the workday, he got an email from his boss. It was a forwarded email from this user to the boss, saying "Xxxx changed the database and said something about 5 documents, but I can't see them. I think he deleted them."

I can encourage you to buy it. Does that count?

Does said encouragement involve Paypal?
