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

Is it just me, or does Saxby Chambliss sound like a name made up for a bad faux-Austen novel?

If memory serves, Kirk had a scene with that green-haired gladiator chick in "The Gamesters of Triskelion" where the camera tactfully panned upwards to a burning wall sconce once they started making out hot-and-heavy. I'm pretty sure he sealed the deal that time.

As long as he's a villain in the novel, yes.

That the Palin absurdity should follow the two-term presidency of another individual utterly out of his depth in national government is particularly troubling.

Umm Dan Quale. Ronald Reagan. The utterly unqualified rising to positions of great power is not exactly unknown.

I think Palin sinks to an all new low. IIRC, Quale had been in the Senate for quite a while. Reagan had a term or two as governor of a grown-up sized state where the Governor (I think) has actual exective experience. I thought both were wrong-headed and pretty dense, but at least they had been unqualified for long enough to pick up something.

Less than half a term as governor preceded by mayor of a town with no fire department or school system where she hired an administrator to do her job doesn't even compare.

Outside of "Drill, baby, Drill", I can't think of anything Palin has said that indicates any thoughts about policy. This is what makes it hard for me to take her seriously.

Happy Birthday ChiKat!

This morning I found out that the contruction crews next door have built scaffolding that extends over part of the facade of my building for some unknown reason, including one of the windows into my apartment. I'd have preferred to have made that discovery after having the chance to get dressed first.
