Oh my god. What can it be? We're all doomed! Who's flying this thing!? Oh right, that would be me. Back to work.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Haggard has apparently admitted that at least some of it's true.

So says the Denver Post.

Ann, that's a ferret.

And, yes, what tommyrot said.

Though whatever of it's true, I won't cry to see a major homophobic voice take a fall.

Punishingly Intricate

We also still had a milkman when I was really little, like under six.

My grandparents owned a dairy store and delivered milk & juice up until 1981 (I think that was the year the store closed). They also made ice cream at the store! They didn't deliver that although my grandfather would bring it from Delaware, packed in dry ice, up to my mom and aunt when they were in college in New York.

Huh. Some but not all. Sounds a lot like "I DID not have sex with that woMAN."

Sigh.

Has it always been the case that winning politics hinges on mudslinging and scandal?

I wouldn't be at all surprised that this guy is lying to everyone, including himself. But the popularity context-fear mongering-scandal digging nature of our decision making process...especially when it comes to choosing leadership, just makes me sad.

Haggard has apparently admitted that at least some of it's true.

Huh, so it could really just be that ironic. I wonder if he'll admit to having a drinking problem soon.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

That's what I was thinking too shrift, even though it seems wrong in the "it shouldn't be an issue" sense.

All the cool kids are doing it.

Don't know whether it's hinged on it, but mudslinging and scandal have long been popular weapons in the American political arsenal.

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

Huh, so it could really just be that ironic. I wonder if he'll admit to having a drinking problem soon.

Yeah. Wonkette claims they may give a prize to the person who has the closest guess as to when Haggard checks himself in for treatment.

It's ironic that we profess to choose honorable, thoughtful and knowledgable leadership and yet...either no one with these qualiities is willing/able to withstand the lifestyle of the politician or we consistently vote for the ones who can dig up the most dirt about the other side.

eta: I recognize the reductionist in me with this statement. I just wish I had the opportunity to throw my support behind someone who concentrates on the important issues and can make positive progress.
