Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
I will say I was a little perturbed about reports of a large cloud of chlorine gas in Apex, NC, 30 miles away though it may be.
Oh, yes -- I didn't mean to suggest "not worried" -- just "not actually on fire". Sorry if my post came off otherwise!

Yeah, WTF is up with Lieberman? Why doesn't he just become a Republican? (That's not a rhetorical question.)
Welcome to my world, where in the race to fill Frist's Senate seat I'll have a choice between voting for current Representative Harold Ford , who's just barely a Democrat (he's voted lockstep with Republicans on the War, DOMA, and the recent Anti-Bill of RightsTerrorist legislation), or Bush crony Bob Corker.
Ah well, I disagree with a LOT of Ford's positions, but can at least respect that he's moderate on some issues and has the courage of his convictions. I know almost nothing about Corker's mayoral tenure in Chatanooga, but the fact that he's in tight with Bush makes me think he must be either be an oil-funded incompetent or a criminal.

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

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I think the spaghetti research is quite interesting.
Okay. Slept two extra hours. Effect? Approximately nil.

ION, the Mars Recon Orbiter has a really freakin cool camera, and it took pictures of Opportunity Rover, just as the rover got to a really big hole in the ground.

This year's winners were boingboinged today (for their groundbreaking research on curing hiccups with a finger up the butt), so I'm sure that's why. And last night, the BBC world service had a big hi-larious story on the Ig Nobels, featuring an interview with the gay mallard necrophilia guy. I think the Ig Nobels are just too much for the poor internet to handle....
