The status is NOT quo.

This morning came way too freakin' early. It was still pitch black by the time I'd gotten out of the shower, dressed, and done my make-up. I've already taught a 90-minute class and have gone to a meeting, but I swear I could fall asleep right this second if I put my head down on the desk.

In terms of weather, it was 93 in Pasadena yesterday and it supposed to hit 88 in Brentwood (which is usually considerably cooler) today. I'm loving the warmth, but umm...isn't it a tad early for the 90's? Because 70's and 80's are just dandy.

Well, it can't be global warming, because that's a myth, just look at how cold it was this winter. Right?

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

I swear, making Daylight Saving Time early this year has thrown the Earth's axis out of alignment! Soon we will fall into the Sun!

Well, in this case I think it's probably just Southern California being Southern California. The worrisome thing is that we've had an extremely dry winter; we're already seeing fires.

FOX NEWS, Crazy Right Wing Propaganda

A whole bunch of screenshots (TV and web) from Fox News that illustrate them being, oh, a tad bit biased.

Actually, kinda' scary when you see these all together like this....

This one is my favorite (although it's just a screwup instead of conservative bias): [link]

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

But, see, they're mostly questions, not statements. "Terror-kiddies plan to abolish US via cuteness?" They're not saying they are for sure, see?

I love when Jon Stewart does a bit on this.

Yeah, The Simpsons made fun of the text that Fox put on their news programs. "Do Democrats cause cancer?" was the only one I caught that I remember....

I can't believe I'm the first to link to this!

Israel has recalled its ambassador to El Salvador after he was found naked, bound and drunk, according to Israeli media reports confirmed Monday by a government spokeswoman.

The longtime diplomat, Tsuriel Raphael, has been removed from his post and the Foreign Ministry has begun searching for a replacement, said ministry spokeswoman Zehavit Ben-Hillel.

Two weeks ago, El Salvador police found Raphael in the yard of his residence, tied up, gagged with a ball and drunk, Israeli media reported. He was wearing sex bondage equipment, the media said. After he was untied, Raphael told police he was the ambassador of Israel, the reports said.

Ben-Hillel said the reports were accurate and that Raphael has been recalled, although he did not break any laws.

''We're talking about behavior that is unbecoming of a diplomat,'' she said.
