Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

My life has become ridiculous. I just had to reschedule a dentist appointment I have for next Thursday, and the next time that was good for me and the dentist was in November! Granted, he's only at that office two days a week, but still.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Brenda, that's sad, but funny.

A driver has been left stunned after returning to his parked car to find yellow lines painted underneath it and a ticket on the windscreen.

So unfair!!

An interesting question: Does the Foley scandal prove the existence of a God?

The Foley scandal is so perfectly tailored -- one could even say artistically designed -- to expose every character flaw of this country's Republican leaders (and their followers), and it has evolved so flawlessly (like the most brilliantly coordinated symphony), that one is almost inclined to believe that it was divinely inspired.

...the relentless efficiency of this scandal is proof positive that Democrats had nothing to do with it

...this scandal is like the Cliffs' Notes version of a more complicated treatise on how the Bush movement operates. Every one of their corrupt attributes is vividly on display here:

The absolute refusal ever to admit error. The desperate clinging to power above all else. The efforts to cloud what are clear matters of wrongdoing with irrelevant sideshows. And the parade of dishonest and just plainly inane demonization efforts to hide and distract from their wrongdoing: hence, the pages are manipulative sex vixens; a shadowy gay cabal is to blame; the real criminals are those who exposed the conduct, not those who engaged in it; liberals created the whole scandal; George Soros funded the whole thing; a Democratic Congressman did something wrong 23 years ago; one of the pages IM'd with Foley as a "hoax", and on and on.

Is it crazy-linking Friday? I think it might be!

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

Today is the slowest day ever. I have two more meetings still.

The Nietzche Family Circus. Pairs a random Family Circus with a random Nietzche quote. Sooooooooo wrong, and yet so addictive.

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

Today is the slowest day ever. I have two more meetings still.

Yeah. Someone has been getting rid of their surplus time by shoving it in here....

I've found that marinated broccoli for lunch makes the dragging time pass more pleasurably. As does a pause in the being peppered with new ancillary projects faster than I can complete current ones.

And evidently excess posts too.
