You like ships. You don't seem to be looking at the destinations. What you care about is the ships, and mine's the nicest.

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

Damn.

A reader notices something telling: the photographer responsible for the weeping Paris Hilton photographs today, Nick Ut, has a slightly different journalistic pedigree. He took the Pulitzer-winning napalmed Vietnamese girl photograph. And the beat goes on.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

A Pulitzer doesn't pay the bills forever I guess.

'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"

On the other hand, taking pictures of a weeping debutante leaving court has to be a lot less dangerous than running around where napalm is falling from the sky....

The sad part is that I bet he made a ton more cash for the pictures of Paris than he did from the stunning Pulitzer prize winning photo.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I love my neighborhood: even the guy doing tastings in the local wine store was selling on price vs. Manhattan as much as on flavor. "In Manhattan, they're selling this for like twelve bucks! Here, they've got it for seven!"

Oopsie....

Maybe Health and Human Services Secretary Mike Leavitt and his staff are just in denial. Or maybe they don't read the papers, thus missing the sad news that Sen. Craig Thomas (R-Wyo.) died Monday, seven months after he was diagnosed with leukemia.

Whatever the case, Leavitt's office called Thomas's office late Thursday afternoon to request a meeting with the late senator.

So pretty, Abby!

thanks Jesse!

I've been fighting with my on-line shyness, and a desire to win (free clothes!) My lust for pretty clothes (and shoes!) has won out.

Go you!

I'm here all night, so I'm just going to keep posting... I'm watching Eddie Izzard on The Daily Show, and why does everyone here always call him Izzerd?? It's an a! Listen to him say it! He says the a!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I was catching up slowly, and then I had to email around that heinous link, and...

I'm here, okay, and have forgotten most of what I've read that didn't have Jack Carter hotter than Nathan Petrelli and Sawyer and John Winchester and Luka fucking Kovac.

No offense, love! I just haven't seen you willing to kill for your little Zoe yet. Or really kill period.

Okay, now I'm plum tuckered out (or is that "plumb") and may need to eat more Milanos while watching TiVo. Or something.

Abby! Cool as shit.
