I think some are getting tired of politics, but if you're still interested, here's a fascinating Daily Kos post: [link]
It argues that this is a Really Big Deal/about to blow up in Bushie's face/straw that broke the camel's back/etc....
eta: From the Kos post (bold is theirs):
You don't have to read every line of the slowly uploaded e-mails to get the point: this is the highest level of corruption and graft ever perpetrated in the United States by the government.
If congresspeople ask the right questions and demand all the evidence officials are likely now trying to shred, hide, bury, burn, swallow, or shove up their asses -- then before this thing is over, it will be clear that the lastest scandal is 100% pure, unadulterated obstruction of justice. The obstruction is an attempt to cover up a widespread pattern and practice of GOP and corporate corruption.
Yeah, I think I found the cure for daily headaches. Alcohol!
I am going to have to give this a try.
Though it might have been the lack of stress, bon. And, of course, the boozy lunch. Cause those are fun.
I need to stay far away from pain meds, because I like them far too much. I've never met one I wouldn't take again, happily.
Man, this is SO me, too. Morphine was kickass, but percocet was pretty damned good, too.
Announcement: Willie Nelson on Colbert!
Analysis: Funniest thing EVAR.
amych beat me to it--that goes on the Top Five Colbert Report Episodes list!
Colbert was hilarious--and Jon Stewart kicked some John Bolton ASS tonight.
Drugs?
Champagne makes me kiss everyone and I've never felt more secure than when having a contact high from my friend's herbal refreshment. Which may say something disturbing about my usual mental state
This has got to be the stupidest NYT food article since either the stripper-heavy review a little ways back or Mark Bittman's fish tacos:

Here is a representative couple of grafs:
It is not uncommon for Web site users to describe such radical departures from an original recipe that the result is a completely different dish.
Consider the woman in California who omitted the blanched green beans and asparagus from a salad, replacing them with grilled calamari, shrimp and minced red onion. “Will add minced garlic next time to give it a stronger taste,” she wrote.
YES, REALLY. In the paper of record. And don't forget NYT's classic snide elitism-- this isn't even subtle!
Debbie Wilemon, an active member of Allrecipes, grew up in Virginia, and spent time in Arkansas and Texas before moving to Larkspur, Colo. Her cooking bears strong traces of her childhood.
“I like lots of flavor,” she said. “If I’m going to take the time to cook something, it’s going to be good.” Her arsenal of favorite ingredients includes Cavender’s Greek Seasoning, Bolner’s Fiesta Fajita Seasoning and garlic powder. Ms. Wilemon said, “When we grill a steak, we smear it with liquid smoke, unsalted Cavender’s, Fiesta Fajita, then a little garlic powder.”
I particularly liked the bit at the end about how these wacky people on the internet want to add cheese to everything. Who eats grilled romaine plain, anyway?
I am slowly recovering from jetlag. I woke up at about 5:45 today, which is about 45 minutes later than yesterday.
