Giles ,'Beneath You'
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.
Nothing endears you to the public like fucking up traffic! (PM Major, Havel, Bush Sr, and...the Queen, I think, all have made my shitlist for screwing up my commute. I think I even cursed Warren Christopher or Albright, once.)
Is Noah's sick the teeth or roving ick?
Mr. Nader, With all due respect, sir, fuck you.
Someone should start a campaign to flood the White House switchboard with people asking Bush not to travel within the US anymore.
Or, you know, just "forget" his return from the Middle East.
Kat, that's flabbergasting. I would totally stuff them back in her cubbyhole or mailbox or whatnot with a post-it saying, "Left on my desk in error. Good luck -- that sure is a lot of papers to grade!" But I'm a cold-hearted bitch about stuff that's Not My Job.
Nader is obviously an utter down-to-the-marrow asshat, but does he even have more than eight or nine loyalists anywhere in the US? Isn't he too much of a bitter joke to be a spoiler anymore?
Please?
Random infuriating bullshit:
Afghanistan Approves Death Sentence For Journalist Accused Of Insulting Islam
...
The journalist, 23-year-old Sayed Parwez Kaambakhsh, was sentenced to death last week by a three-judge panel in the northern city of Mazar-i-Sharif for distributing a report he printed off the Internet to journalism students at Balkh University.
The article asked why men can have four wives but women can't have multiple husbands.
"You know, someone on the internet asked why men can have multiple spouses and woman can't."
"You must die!"
Mr. Nader, With all due respect, sir, fuck you.
erika...this cracked my shit up. I love you.
Reagan's death managed to fuck my commute up at least three different times.
Did not make it out of the house today. My boss doesn't love it when we work from home, but he has been understanding about my crap. I am grateful for that.
I'd rather not be working. I'm not sure if this strange thing is a work ethic or what, but I don't actually care if I get paid for working today or not--stuff still has to get done.
I don't think anyone would really do that anymore. But the fact that Ralph doesn't know that makes him the Michael Scott of ex-progressives. But I'm sure he thought long and hard. That's what she said. I'll miss Edwards, though. He was my guy.ETA: Miracleman, thanks, but it was a quote by Ed Burns. It was a Wire thing. I *wish* it was mine.
Well it's particularly irksome because this is the second teacher who has done it this week. These are district mandated assessments and I'm in charge of making sure they are administered and sent to be scored. But there is a 6 pt written response that teachers are supposed to grade.
I'm tempted to just send them without those 6 points which will push all of those kids out of proficiency. Grrr....
What I will do is grade them and bundle them and mail them.
