Happy fall/spring!!
I have been thinking about the Emmys, and have decided I'm the most happy about Zeljko Ivanek winning, and I've never seen Damages!
Reavers ain't men. Or they forgot how to be. Now they're just nothing. They got out to the edge of the galaxy, to that place of nothing, and that's what they became.

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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
An excellent article on how we got into this sub-prime mortgage mess: [link]

Yeah, deregulation of banking institutions has not had the most optimal of track records.

This book looks cool: Corrupted Science: the history, cause, effect and state of bad science
This part of the review stands out:
After this delightful and enervating overview, Grant moves on to different social causes of fraud: ideological scientists who fooled themselves (for example, the discoverers of "menstrual rays" and other improbable phenomena)
Huh? Menstrual rays? WTF? Google was of no help - two of the three matches were to reviews of this book....
Maybe "menstrual rays" were conjectured to cause womens' periods to sync?

Barack and Michelle Obama have one car, a Ford Escape hybrid.
Ha! First reaction is amusement at the "of course it's a hybrid!" and the one car, one house, how much more normal can you get? Second reaction is how do you manage those two lives with one car?

Yeah, I believe that was the super power of the 50 foot woman.

I thought that was the super power that brought down the 50-foot woman.

I believe the Ford Escape is the mandatory candidate car, American and a Hybrid! I think he had a Chrysler 300 before running.

No, that was menstrual cramps.

Go Emmy winning Ed Danvers! He was good in the half of Damages I managed to watch, but I've always thought he was good...I don't know what, like, pushed him over. Yeah, I agree. That hybrid sees a lot of action.
