Oh, at first it was confusing. Just the idea of computers was like — whoa! I'm eleven hundred years old! I had trouble adjusting to the idea of Lutherans.

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

Republican clown college photos

Hebiclens / WMxdesign used an image editing program to put clown makeup on the faces of prominent conservatives. I like the pastel color palette he used, as you don't often see it on clowns.

My faves:

Michele Bachmann (Rep. R-MN):: Obstructionist Republican Clown

Newt Gingrich (Pundit R-Newscorp):: Obstructionist Republican Clown

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

The thought of a steam room just makes me want to scream "MOISTURE BREEDS SWINE FLU" and run away.

Nonsense. Moisture breeds Legionnaire's Disease.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Body scrub, mani-pedi, body massage, head massage--give me all of it (but hold the man, I've got a perfectly nice one at home already).

Also a martini. It's shaping up to be one of those days (Very Young Co-Worker was out for two weeks visiting old friends in London, caught a cold on the plane home, and has been out sick both days this week; I feel bad for her, with the sick and all, but I'm going slightly insane trying to cover academic and clinical admin tasks for SEVEN doctors at once).

Shit's all sorts of different now.

I had a massage on Friday from a beautiful Parisian man. Holy cats, was he gorgeous. And man did he fix my shoulders.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Does anyone else read:

consider the fact that the two Justices on the current Court who vote most frequently with each other are often Justice Souter and Justice Ginsburg. Looking at the current Supreme Court Term, for example, the Souter/Ginsburg pairing is the most common: They have fully agreed with each other 88% of the time. The next closest pairings are Scalia/Roberts at 83%, Roberts/Alito at 81%, and Thomas/Scalia at 79%.

And go to a Bad, BAD, BAD RPF place? Or is this just me?

Thomas/Scalia at 79%.

Jon Stewart had a joke about this last night. That I can't remember the details of right now--darnit!

Ann, that's a ferret.

No, P.M. Not just you.

That is more disturbing than the giant poster I just saw at Burger King, of The King in the process of being transported aboard the Starship Enterprise.

Worst! Episode! Ever! (Even though it doesn't exist.) Unless the episode begins with The King being phasered, with his ashes tossed into a black hole that is then sent to some alternate universe. The rest of the episode would be the Enterprise crew traveling back in time to kill all the advertising executives who would later create The King, thus removing all trace of him in our universe for all time....

I'd watch that episode.

And right now I really, really want a massage. But not from The King because that would not be relaxing.
