No. You're missing the point. The design of the thing is functional. The plan is not to shoot you. The plan is to get the girl. If there's no girl, then the plan, well, is like the room.

You're seeing another BOARD?!?!?!? Strumpet.

Hee! I was waiting for someone to call me on that. I was going to confess to my future indiscretion and beg for preemptive forgiveness, but I figured I'd get in some yummy noms in first before seeing how guilty I feel for cheating on y'all.

Unless, of course, any Chicago-istas would like to venture out to Buffalo Grove tomorrow night to join me there?

I wish. You and Kathy have made me really want to try that restaurant. (Not to mention see your lovely selves.)

In Moscow we went to a fantastic Georgian restaurant that my brother says is a hugely popular choice. So it's not just here.

"beginning Oct. 1 for 12 months, the [1st Brigade Combat Team of the 3rd Infantry Division] will be under the day-to-day control of U.S. Army North" -- "the first time an active unit has been given a dedicated assignment to NorthCom, a joint command established in 2002 to provide command and control for federal homeland defense efforts and coordinate defense support of civil authorities."

Hey, brenda, do you have a link for this? I saw a headline at reddit and dismissed it as tinfoil hattery, so I'd like to actually get the story.

brenda, if you want to take the train out to Wheeling and can get out here by, say, 7:00, I can come pick you up. I'll give you a ride home afterwards, too! (Same goes for anyone else, too.)

Nora, here's a post on that subject. Glenn Greenwald over at Salon also posted about it yesterday.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Yeah, the subsequent discussion is what got me all gloom n doom paranoid. (It was surprisingly well behaved for Salon letters)

Hah! I was going to SAY! But then I thought about all the internet wanderings I do in my day, and decided I shouldn't throw stones.
