Whoa, that optical illusion is weird. Things not there appearing I can understand, but things that are there disappearing is wild.
I've seen both MPG and mpg, I am no help.
I got stupid. The money was too good.

Thrive to spite them
I think the inicidents that the women are suing over happened before most of Joe Francis's legal troubles. I'm amused that he's in jail when he could be out on bail. But that won't keep him from being charged in Florida right? They can still charge him and work out extradition or something?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Scooter will not be allowed to remain free until his appeal; he must go to jail now.
So,
At the White House Wednesday, Tony Snow said he wouldn't "speculate" as to whether a decision denying Libby's request to remain free pending appeal would affect the timing of any pardon decision. But there's a difference between a man facing a prison sentence and a man actually serving one, and that difference will increase the pressure the president faces -- from the base he's losing quickly -- to absolve Libby of his sins.

Ahhh, good to see guys in jail who should be in jail. Warms the cockles of my heart.

Warms the cockles of my heart.
I read that as "Warms the cookies of my heart."
Mmm... warm cookies....

If my heart had cookies, they would be warm.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
The Democrats and Republicans are having a grammar kerfuffle:
[GSA head Lurita Doan] claims she sometimes has "problems with tense", and in fact had meant to use the "hortatory subjunctive".
But then comes John Sarbanes, showing off. His mother is a Latin teacher, he tells us, and so he knows that Ms Doan's statement is not the hortatory subjunctive.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda
More to the point, English doesn't have a hortatory subjunctive. If she was talking to her employees in Latin, this might be an issue.
Go away, Edna! Go hang over the White House.
