From a bit upthread:
Would any of you be inclined to point out an all-female or all-non-gender-based demographic?
I do remember noting the first time I was on a plane and the pilot announced all the members of her crew and all the names were female. That was unusual enough to stick in my head.
Happy birthday, Glamcookie!!!
I stayed up watching the Indiana results last night. I am sooo cynical--when I heard that the Gary mayor was saying how the whole world was waiting for his city's results and that they were going to push Obama over the top, all I could think of was Richard J. Daley and Kennedy in 1960, when he held the Chicago numbers until the very end to see exactly how many JFK needed to win, and he "managed" to deliver just that number of votes.
And, finally, my commute in this morning was enlivened by being pulled over by a cop who couldn't see my seatbelt from his patrol car. When I told him that I had a relative who died from not wearing a seatbelt and that I am practically religious about the issue, he just patted my arm and said that he was sorry for my loss and let me get back on the road.
Well, I suppose that technically, new oil is always being produced. It's just happening way more slowly than we're using it.
There is no scientific basis for alleging that Earth has a finite supply of oil.
Well, you know, there's...a....thing?
I can't even make this make sense sarcastically. I rate it one quarter of a Time Cube.
Happy Birthday Glamcookie!
I rate it one quarter of a Time Cube.
Man, I love Time Cube as much as I love the Real Ultimate Power ninja kid. (Which is to say: bunches and bunches.)
Clinton is a surprisingly good legislator, but she's about as qualified to be a judge as Harriet Miers. Please god let's not make the Supreme Court some kind of booby prize.
Clinton's recent turn to disingenuous populism has turned me off her candidacy forever.
Actually, geologically speaking, I am not sure that is even true. You need massive amounts of the right kinds of biomass in the right conditions, and I think outside of a few specific geologic periods, there is no new starter conditions for more oil fields...

Yes. This. Trying to pin the "elitist" tag on Obama when she's not had to worry about money in her entire life, went to Yale and Wellesley, and has staff and security around her for the past few decades doing all the menial stuff was a joke.
