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

Google

Results 1 - 10 of about 51,600 for blackfolk.

So if you go by popularity, "black folk" is the winner.

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

Google is God.

perhaps context would be helpful?

Meh, I deleted. The whole paragraph is dumb.

I tried to watch Hell's Kitchen last season, but when it looked like he was going to make them either eat or cook out of a dumpster, I had to change the channel. It was too watch from the hall for me

IIRC, he didn't do either. He just brought them out to the dumpsters to emphasize how much food had been thrown away the night before because of their incompetence.

My second favorite part of HK is the Narrator. He is made of awesome.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

I have a slight touch of insomnia. But, however, I came across a Reuters UK article saying that the military tribunals in Guantanamo have come to a screeching halt:

U.S. military judges dropped all war crimes charges on Monday against the only two Guantanamo captives facing trial, rulings that could preclude trying any of the 380 prisoners held at the U.S. base in Cuba any time soon.

The judges said they lacked jurisdiction under the strict definition of those eligible for trial by military tribunal under a law the U.S. Congress enacted last year.

"It's another demonstration that the system simply doesn't work," said the tribunals' chief defence counsel, Marine Col. Dwight Sullivan.

You know, when the judges are throwing up their hands and saying this is unworkable and illegal, the whole enterprise is frelled.

Anyone want to bet that BushCo will just try to get 'better' judges?

Trust my rage

Kind of abrupt after the judges but I wanted to say thanks for all the birthday wishes for Ellie. She had, I think, a great day. She ate a huge dinner (spaghetti) and earlier in the day, had a great time at daycare playing for a few hours.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I woke up early again this morning, and may actually make it to work early this time! It's "clean up day," so we get to wear casual clothes, but I still have a ton of Actual Work to do, which is kind of annoying -- one government deadline, one (phone) meeting called by people outside our org. But I'm still wearing capris and a t-shirt!

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Huh. I really did fall asleep after all that time awake! And now I feel materially better than I did before.

I'm torn -- should I keep The New Practical Home Repair For Women book, pub. 1966, 1972, with a foreword by the wife of the author? There's a blurb from Modern Bride on the cover!

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

I do love Hell's Kitchen - I felt sorry for Julia (the waffle house cook) - she COULD fry an egg properly. And what was up with Aaron - he kept crying - I don't think he's going to last long. But they keep promising that something really, really dramatic is going to happen this season - aside from setting Gordon Ramsey on fire, or going after him with a cleaver, I think they've already done about everything they could.
