Check out this bit from my uni's upcoming guest speaker schedule:
LECTURE: Female Aliens, Women Scientists, and Gender in Star Trek and Battlestar Galactica, by Robin Roberts (Louisiana State University), Wednesday, March 19, 2008, 6:00 PM, Campus Life Bldg., Room 100.
Someone please tell me to stay away from the Salon article comment thread. I read an excellent article about one woman's attempt to clear up her credit card bills (move her to Chicago and reduce the debt a bit, and she could be me), and one of the first commenters flamed her to ashes. "Only $10K? Try 3x that much! This article is useless!" and, OTOH, "Gee, I don't have any debt at all--I'm so much more superior to you!"
Bleah, sometimes I hate people.
GECK.
There is nothing but police officers lined up on Sunset Blvd through Brentwood. Is the president going to be here or Guiliani or someone?
It's ridic.

What? She wasn't in debt enough? That's nutty.
Kat, really? Oh CRAP. My kids were saying something about a Bush visit, but I thought it was a rumor. We are so trapped.
Just came over Beverly Glen (to UCLA) and there were tons o' cops. Hope it's over before 5!
Yep. They are on both sides of each block starting by the hotel and going past Brady. Getting home after work should be an exciting challenge. I'm heading south to the 10 in hopes of avoiding it.
Too many cops for Guiliani. Must be the president. blech.
Crapcrapcrapcrap.
Well that's just peachy. I wonder if we'll get out of school early? We did that once last year when the President was coming so that the kids didn't get stranded here until 7. Does anyone know if the road is already closed?
I have to make it up Sunset to get on the 405N. That should be fun. @@
Or you could go to Barrington and south to San Vicente to Wilshire to the 405. The road was not closed 30 minutes ago.
