My favorite Karl Rove story was just on Countdown(that likes carrots) Apparently, back in the day, KR asked Margaret Stallings, now Sec. of Ed. for a date. She said no. The reporter asked her why and she said: "Have you ever met Karl Rove?"
Angel: Will you just shut up for once?! Illyria: What? Angel: My God, the speechifying. Has it ever occurred to you that now might not be the best time for when-we-were-muck stories?

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Thrive to spite them
from tommyrot's link, Amey quotes Bush as saying:
'It would probably wind up on eBay,'"
Which is about the same thing he said when he was giving out some kind of token to the families of dead soldiers. Except I think he told the families "Don't sell this on eBay." The man is an insensitive prick.

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman
Ha. I am especially amused because my mentor is now dating a man that she went to law school with, who asked her out back in 1966 and she turned down.

well, you expect of others the same behavior that you have. He would do it, so he expects others to do so.

This is my thought also

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

Actually, it was Rove who said that. (After Bush refused to continue the signing thing.)

Oh, I skimmed it the first time I read it (over on Crooks and Liars I think) and got it in my head that Bush said it.

"I've got a gun! I've got a mother-flippin' gun!" - Moss, The IT Crowd
OMG, I already have a headache, but I am totally getting why microwave popcorn is a migraine trigger for ita. Somebody in a cubicle near me is eating some and the smell is hitting me right in the frontal lobes.
Yeah, it hits me the same way ever since I accidentally burnt some in a microwave five years ago.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Do I have to respond to an email that I just got (unrelated to earlier meetings) that said, "I was just wondering when you'd get that stuff to me!" The last email I sent her said "I will get that to you by COB on Wednesday." What the fuck time does she think COB is?
Ignore it until 5 and then say "Sorry I didn't respond to this sooner, I was too busy working to finish X by COB today."

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
A coworker mentioned to me that she forgets that COB = Close of Business. Also, the original emailer is someone who once emailed me at like 8pm for information that she needed "today." So who knows what she thinks.
