Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

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

Bush Insults BBC Political Editor at Press Conference
NEW YORK At a recent press conference at Camp David, President George Bush insulted BBC political editor Nick Robinson, the Daily Mirror reports.
Robinson, who has asked Bush pointed questions in the past such as whetherthe president was “in denial” over the Iraq war, posed a question to Bush about whether he could trust visiting British Prime Minister Gordon Brown not to “cut and run” from Iraq.
Bush replied with a dismissal: “Are you still hanging around?”
Later on, Bush poked fun at the bare-pate of Robinson, joking, “You’d better cover up your bald head, it’s getting hot out.”
The respected British reporter shot back, “I didn’t know you cared.”
Bush responded with a cool, “I don’t.” The Mirror reports that Bush then “snorted disdainfully” and “walked away to laughter.”

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Jesus, that bridge collapse is terrifying.
In stupid news, I ordered a mai tai tonight, which turned out to be a big glass of rum. Who knew?

I just spent 2 intense hours trying to be intelligent, articulate and productive. Dunno if it worked. I think I'm done for the night.

My mom makes really good corncakes but there's not really a set recipe. It's just a cup of cornmeal, an egg, roughly half a cup of milk (enough so the texture is moist but not runny, and can be slowly poured) and sugar to taste. Instead of baking it, she pours the mix like flapjacks into a skillet with heated canola oil and flips each cake when the top side is riddled with bubbles and solidifying.
This sounds very yum, although I'm actually making the cornbread to bring to a friend's place who is making chili. I've marked DJ's recipes because they also look of the yum.
Unfortunately, in stopping at the store to pick up the various ingredients I "might" need (sour cream, peppers, cheese), I forgot that I might, in fact, need cornmeal. Duh.
Of course, right now I'm more focused on trying to reach my brother and/or his fiancé in Minneapolis.
