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.
I am going to consider losing my shit if the comparisons to Hurricane Katrina don't stop. I know the media has to talk about something, but how does it possibly do anyone any good to compare the situations?
"The people at Qualcomm Stadium are so much better off than the people in the Superdome were!"
Wow. I'm sure that's a great comfort to all involved. Your homes might burn down, but at least the 10,000 people sleeping in the football stadium are all getting along!
Apparently the Bush Administration is all, "We're gonna show people we can actually respond competently to a disaster, unlike that Katrina thing." So apparently it's a comparison they're encouraging. Dunno how much that's behind all the comparisons in the media though.
These posts one after another made me laugh:
I baked a dozen blueberry muffins last night, but there is only 1.5 left now. How did that happen?
Baby sloths!
Also (because the transition from baby sloths to puking dog is not funny)
Number of days it took the dog to puke all over the new carpet: 3. Number of times she's puked in the last year up to this point: 0.
Could it be an allergic reaction, Brenda? I get pretty sick from the offgassing of new carpet, probably mainly from the formaldehyde.
Huh, I wonder. She has been spending a lot of time on it. How quickly does that pass, do you think?
Oh, a column about Brits doing bad American accents!
Check out these cool tiles!
I like the microbus one! (Well, I say that only b/c The Boy is a microbus fan, having owned 3 consecutive microbuses back in the day, and his birthday is in 3-ish weeks and I had no idea what to get him, but this is a cool idea!)
Yeah, I have to say The Unit is much less fun than it used to be, and I see it dropping off my season pass list pretty soon.
My TiVo hates F/X. Second week in a row it's failed to grab Damages.
How quickly does that pass, do you think?
For me, about two weeks. You could try increasing the air circulation.
Of course, it could just be that she's trying to tell you that she hates the carpet.

I think idiot statements are part and parcel with the "we must cover breaking events twenty four seven even if we have nothing new to say." Honestly, how many times can Charlie Gibson (or whatever talking head is handy) stand not-too-close to all hell breaking loose and say "all hell is breaking loose"?
