Huh! And not an hour ago, I took my morning scan of Google News and there was no mention. About goddamn time, is all I can say about it.

Natter 53: We could just avoid making tortured puns
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.
Apparently everyone was still denying it yesterday. The NY Times broke it this morning.
I have a Coke chilling in the freezer. I can accomplish nothing until it's cold enough to drink. Need the caffeine to battle the gronk.
Huh. I guess the Chief of Staff should never have given the ultimatum about staying through 2009 since Bush + Cronies are leaking staff away. Which is fine by me.
So. Very. Tired this morning. Would like an energy transfusion stat.
That's great!!!
ION, the buses are running oddly and yet they seemed to be running perfectly normal over the weekend.
Also, my boss was able to get into her house and pump out the 19 inches of water in it. (Yikes) Her furniture is ruined. All our bridges are open again. And classes have started.
And we have a voicemail emergency system that sent out that emergency closing message on Friday. I did not see it 'til this morning. Clearly the email emergency system was more effective.

It is speculated that Michael Chertoff will be nominated for the job, which is not at all amusing. Bush is actually kind of running out of unindicted cronies, isn't he?
Yes, he is.
Well, when Rove resigned NPR said that Bush or Cheney or whoever had told people that they had to resign by Labor Day or stay 'til the end of the Administration. How many more resignations do you think we'll see this week?
You guys have to entertain me. I am still not awake.
