So, that's permission to just leave without asking then?

No, the e-mail was to update the others in my department to start including me when things are added to our job runs so I know to look for them. The "have a great weekend" was just to say "enjoy the weather." The update on the change in policy for managers was to tell us to work our normal hours.

Like I said, damn.

As for Palin, not only is she a creationist, but she's in the middle of some serious hot water for trying to get one of her department heads to fire a state trooper who just happens to be her BIL who is currently in a very bitter divorce with Palin's sister. When the dept. head refused, she fired his ass instead.

Nothing says family values better than trying to fire your brother-in-law.

Here's a more complete look at Palin and her tenure as governor, as well as her potential pluses to the McCain campaign.

It will be interesting to see how she does on a national stage, if she comes across as a lightweight it could be pretty bad for McCain. I don't know anything about her, she may well come across as a strong leader. Time will tell.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

From elsewhere on the internets (namely, my inbox), NBC Olympics commentary quotes:

Weight-lifting commentator:

'This is Gregorieva from Bulgaria. I saw her snatch this morning during her warm up and it was amazing.'

Dressage commentator:

'This is really a lovely horse and I speak from personal experience since I once mounted her mother.'

Gymnastics commentator Paul Hamm:

'I owe a lot to my parents, especially my mother and father.'

Boxing Analyst:

'Sure there have been injuries, and even some deaths in boxing, but none of them really that serious.'

Softball announcer:

'If history repeats itself, I should think we can expect the same thing again.'

Basketball analyst:

'He dribbles a lot and the opposition doesn't like it. In fact you can see it all over their faces.'

Rowing medal ceremony:

'Ah, isn't that nice, the wife of the IOC president is hugging the cox of the British crew.'

Soccer commentator:

'Julian Dicks is everywhere. It's like they've got eleven Dicks on the field.'

Tennis commentator:

'One of the reasons Andy is playing so well is that, before the final round, his wife takes out his balls and kisses them... Oh my God, what have I just said?'

Their bio video on Obama last night had me in stitches.

Off to Milwaukee, again. Juliana should come with me this time - the entire city is overrun with Harleys of every possible description. (105th anniversary weekend.)
