Don't your superusers know that with great power comes great responsibility?
As well as great opportunity to be asshats.
You always think harder is better. Maybe next time I patrol, I should carry bricks and use a stake made out of butter.

Natter 47: My Brilliance Is Wasted On You People
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.

Hey Nilly! I'm glad one of my rare appearances in Natter coincided with yours. No offense here, just happiness at seeing your name in pixels. And thank you for the e-card.
I intended to stopp by and say congratulations to beautiful Matilda (when will they teach her to waltz?) and her lovely, exhausted parents.
Then I saw this article in the morning paper and knew I had to share it with Tep.
"He has gigantic hands,'' Luca Congi, the Riders' rookie kicker and Fantuz's roommate, said after Wednesday's practice at Mosaic Stadium. "I've shaken his hand and they just wrap around mine. If you ever watch him hold a glass ... With most people their hand just comes halfway around. Andy's hand wraps all the way around.''

Put all that together and you really do have the danger of taking emergency measures for wartime and transforming a peace-time constitution into an essentially martial system, where every citizen or non-citizen can be apprehended at will and detained without charge. I repeat: this is a huge deal. It really should be a huge deal for conservatives who care about restraining government power.
I think there is a big problem right now in what I like to call cheerleader politics where people defend the policies of people on their team even if they don't agree with the policies themselves. How many people (on both sides) would take a 180 degree turn in their stance on issues such as the war in Iraq if it was Al Gore as president instead of George Bush? The same people who criticized Clinton non-stop during his use of the military in the Balkans now demand that everyone support the president when our troops are in the field. (I'm sure there were those on the left who have done just the opposite but it's they don't have national TV and radio shows so they aren't very visible).

What is even happening?
Excellent!

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

What a nice way to perk up my workday!

Msbelle, how exciting!
The football player's pretty cute, too (there's a photo with that article). Best part was finding out that "the CFL measures just about every aspect of a player before the draft." Hmmmmm, I say.
Speaking of winter coming, yesterday I told the Blue-Eyed Boy that soon it would be dark when he got up to go to school and dark when he came home. Being six, he thought that was kewl instead of depressing.
