The WSJ was recently bought out by Murdoch.
You were very nearly devoured by a giant demon snake. The words 'let that be a lesson' are a tad redundant at this juncture.

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.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

If I had been a boy, I might have been little Baseball Lang.
Oh come, on. They'd think of a better nickname than that. Baseball is replete with weird nicknames.
Oil Can Lang. Huh?

I am sort of amused that a (I am assuming) conservative Christian named two of her daughters after TV show witches (Willow and Piper). Also, Trig?!? Like Trigonometry? For a child with Down's Syndrome?

If the Democrats are smart the will avoid shooting too much at the new shiny target and aim most of their fire at McCain.

Someone's got to tell Headline makers that "John McCain taps Sarah Palin" has a whole other meaning.

Also, in the past hour I have seen two different Maine tourism ads, both starring...Canadians. (Two guys I know who were roommates back in university.)

Candy, in high school, as a band fundraiser, rocked, because yeah, people did buy it right in class.
At my school the kids aren't supposed to sell candy at campus. It has something to do with the contract the food service has. It's a royal pain, though, to make sure the groups that are selling candy aren't selling it during classes. It's frustrating I always feel like, if they don't want them to sell it on campus, don't approve the fund raiser.

Our wings are not tired.
On the name thing...
Trig Paxson Van Palin weighed in at 6 lbs, 2 oz when he was born at Mat-Su Regional Medical Center. Trig is a Norse word meaning "true" and "brave victory." The name is in honor of his great uncle, a Bristol Bay fisherman, while the name Paxson comes from the well-known snowmobiling area in Alaska, which Sarah and husband Todd Palin love.
I choose to believe that the undecided public will view the VP selection as a publicity stunt and that it comes back to bite him in the ass. Alas, history has taught me that I don't often think the same as the general voting public.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
One of my friendss tonight was saying that she waso going to vote for Obama, but she's reconsidering that, because a woman vp would be reallly great. She just assoumed that, since Palin is a wonam, she's pro-choice and for womens rights alnd all of that.
