I'd better find someone who will talk to me because Plan B is having (former) Worldcom disappeared.
Dawn: I thought you were adequate. Giles: And the accolades keep pouring in. I'd best take my leave before my head swells any larger. Good night.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Pretty much. Which is why I type everything.
eta: I blame the fact that they got rid of corporal punishment before I started first grade. If they had been whacking my wrists with rulers, I bet I'd be making my zeros and Os correctly to this day....

Oh my. Is it OK to say that the Pope sucks? (Or is "sucks" too gay?)
From the LA Times: Pope's new edict on the priesthood
The Vatican recently issued a statement re-emphasizing that even chaste gay men are to be barred from the priesthood. Never mind that large numbers of gay priests -- estimates range from 25% to 50% -- already serve the faithful, with most adhering to their vow of celibacy.
"Guidelines for the Use of Psychology in the Admission and Formation of Candidates for the Priesthood," released Oct. 30 by the Vatican's Congregation for Catholic Education, not only reiterates the teaching that men with "deep-seated" homosexual tendencies are unworthy of ordination, it also urges seminaries to enlist the aid of psychologists in screening candidates for homosexuality and other "psychic disturbances."
(Emphasis mine.)
Sullivan comments:
It seems to me that the Los Angeles Times is correct in noting that no APA credited psychologist should ethically cooperate with this kind of bigotry and psychological illiteracy. Apart from a tiny fringe, American pscyhologists have not viewed homosexuality as a "disturbance" or indeed in any way a problem. Neither, of course, did Freud.

That wasn't as much fun.

Hey, does anyone know how accurate the size chart for the Lauren brand by Ralph Lauren runs? Becaue I found a perfect-for-me jacket on eBay, but the RL size charts tell me I'm 1.5" out of luck.

Somebody just mentioned "social capital" in their presentation (I'm in [boring-ass] class). Totally thought of you Buffistae.

Did y'all know that Newt Gingrich doesn't think Sarah Palin should be the leader of the GOP? Maybe because he thinks he should be. Anyway, here's a quote from ol' Newt:
"I think there is a gay and secular fascism in this country that wants to impose its will on the rest of us, is prepared to use violence, to use harassment. I think it is prepared to use the government if it can get control of it. I think that it is a very dangerous threat to anybody who believes in traditional religion," - Newt Gingrich, referring to the 18,000 married couples just forced apart after a Mormon-funded campaign against equal rights in California.
eta: Quick, someone take Newt's social capital away!
