Article that argues the the early deployment....

Okay, totally irrelevant to the article, but the Yorkshire Ranter page has this scrolling clock-date mouse pointer sprite. I only mention this because the day/month scrols around the outside of the clock, so at one point on the rotation, the month spells out backwards.

October backwards is "Rebotco," which sounds like a company that sells refurbished robots.

I'm picturing his opponent as an actual *goat,* or something.

Not just that, a married goat. Possibly to a turtle.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

Someone's yahoo IM noises are bugging me. Not the IMing (I'm here posting), but that little zing sound. I'm going to go throttle whoever it is if it doesn't stop soon. Who doesn't turn down their volume to cover their non-work related computer activities?

Shit's all sorts of different now.

My marriage feels threatened by this. @@

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Violet Affleck is damn cute -- she looks so much like Jen!

Santorum is down about 10 points in the polls right now. His reelection this cycle is looking less and less likely.

It's about bloody time.

I hope the Dems gain seats, but don't actually win majorities -- I've read, and it makes sense to me, that that sets up the Presidential election better -- they'll have momentum, but still be able to blame everything on the Republicans.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

I think there may also have been a dog.

Ollie was actually useful?

Art Crawl!!!

Awww, Violet Affleck is a cutie.

I don't think Ben looks depressed. I think he looks serious -- like he's trying not to trip and fall and drop the baby.

But if they gain the house they gain subpoena power and that could prove interesting. I wouldn't want them to use it just to embarrasses people, but I think there are plenty of legit things to investigate. From a fiscal restraint perspective have split control should be good. The Dems could also set up politically advantagous votes before the election.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Cute baby, reminds me that the chin gene's not gonna miss that kid.
