Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

I don't understand how Gonzales hasn't resigned.

Can someone explain? bon? Lee? Anyone?

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

Crap, that didn't work right. Go to the Chicago Tribue and scroll down a little and click on the monkey on the left - the picture there is much better.

Stupid Tribune - can never link directly to their slidshows.

Um, the Bush administration thinks they can do whatever they want, as long as the public outcry doesn't get too bad. And currently, the public outcry hasn't gotten bad enough.

Because incompetence and evil are two highly desireable traits in the Bush administration.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Ha ha! My favorite bit...

E-mails released Tuesday, however, revealed that the firings were considered and discussed for two years by Justice Department and White House officials.

"Obviously I am concerned about the fact that information — incomplete information was communicated or may have been communicated to the Congress," Gonzales said. "I believe very strongly in our obligation to ensure that when we provide information to the Congress, it is accurate and it is complete. And I very dismayed that that may not have occurred here."

Yes, Gonzo, I'm sure you are concerned that the emails reveal that you're a shitty political hatchet man, and that the firings were planned and politically motivated. I can see why that would concern you. Maybe if we had a little more spin context, though, we'd understand your point of view.

incomplete information was communicated or may have been communicated to the Congress

Oddly enough, that's what happened. If by "incomplete information" Gonzo means "blatant lies" and if by "was communicated... to the Congress" he means "was communicated to Congress by me in my testimony."

Yes, I'm sure he regrets all that. Now that it's come out, anyway.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Ugh. I seem to have developed a blister on the bottom of my foot. Of course, its not being helped by dance practice last night and using the treadmill today.

In other fun news, Catholic politicians get strict orders from the Pope

Pope Benedict XVI strongly reasserted Tuesday the church's opposition to abortion, euthanasia and gay marriage, saying that Catholic politicians were "especially" obligated to defend the church's stance in their public duties.

"These values are non-negotiable," the pope wrote in a 130-page "apostolic exhortation" issued in Rome, forming a distillation of opinion from a worldwide meeting of bishops at the Vatican in 2005.

"Consequently, Catholic politicians and legislators, conscious of their grave responsibility before society, must feel particularly bound, on the basis of a properly formed conscience, to introduce laws inspired by values grounded in human nature."

Fuck you, Palpatine.
