On my seventh birthday, I wanted a toy fire truck, and I didn't get it, and you were real nice about it, and then the house next door burnt down, and then real firetrucks came, and for years I thought you set the fire for me. And if you did, you can tell me!

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

I was wondering if it was an Onion headline:

Heh.

Also, why the fuck are people still listening to him?

Although it's apparently working to the Democrats' advantage. At least the Obama administration thinks so.

Dick Cheney Warns GOP Against Moderation

So when you are losing general elections you should narrow your appeal? Jeez, this sounds like the guy who planned the Iraq war.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".

That's... odd. Are you talking about DVDs you recorded?

Nope. Original DVDs.

Edit: actually, both.

That's EXCELLENT.

My parents have run into the same problem. I digitize any DVDs I use very often so I don't handle them very much.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

That headline reminds me that I keep hearing people saying how very liberal Barrack Obama is (as a caution against him). Is that true, because he seems moderate to me. I mean, I am very liberal and he is definately to the right of me (the person who most closely matched my positions was Kucinich, and even he was too right). But I am afraid my perception is skewed by my political beliefs.

Also, I remember learning in middle school that Conservatives wanted to keep the status quo and Reactionaries wanted to go back-- (and Liberals wanted change and radicals wanted LOTS of change). But modern conservatives seem to me to want things to change (or change back). I am confused.

Signed, took her last politics class in high school and hated it.

I am of the school that modern conservatives (in the US) are basically authoritarian, and not really conservative.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yeah, the modern conservative movement isn't actually conservative at all, IMO. And don't get me started on the "small government" thing. U.S. Out Of My Uterus! etc.

NICE.
