I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Yes, the pot was covered overnight.

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

ION, remember the Holocaust denier bishop who got ex-excommunicated recently?

The Catholic Church Welcomes a Holocaust Denier

Here are some of the other nutty things he's said:

He says that homosexuality naturally evokes a "violent repugnance", that homosexual behavior is a sin "crying to Heaven for vengeance", and favors us with the following quote, which I swear I'm not making up:

"Oh, but Our Lord had chawity, (unlike thumwun we know who wath tho nathty to Pwintheth Di!). Our Lord loved thinnerth, and faggotth, and tho thould we!!" So runs the objection!

Um... huh?

Predictably, he thinks that women should not receive higher education:

...because of all kinds of natural reasons, almost no girl should go to any university!

The deep-down reason is the same as for the wrongness of women's trousers [yes, he's also against those —Ebonmuse]: the unwomaning of woman. The deep-down cause in both cases is that Revolutionary man has betrayed modern woman; since she is not respected and loved for being a woman, she tries to make herself a man. Since modern man does not want her to do what God meant her to do, namely to have children, she takes her revenge by invading all kinds of things that man is meant to do.

So women, strike a blow against Holocaust denial by going to college and wearing trousers!

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

So women, strike a blow against Holocaust denial by going to college and wearing trousers!

I'm doing it right now AIFG!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yes, the pot was covered overnight.

I think that lowers the chance for contamination and you're fine. I'd still boil for a while, like Jess said.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Can I just tell that guy to screw off, while being childless, college-educated, and wearing a skirt?

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

One would snuggle up to a person with her head on the pillow

Mine does this.

cute, but it tended to lead to a faceful of fur.

And it does lead to that.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Obama settles into a more informal White House. [link]

The capital flew into a bit of a tizzy when, on his first full day in the White House, President Barack Obama was photographed in the Oval Office without his suit jacket. There was, however, a logical explanation: Obama, who hates the cold, had cranked up the thermostat.

"He's from Hawaii, O.K.?" said Obama's senior adviser, David Axelrod, who occupies the small but strategically located office next door to his boss. "He likes it warm. You could grow orchids in there."

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

One of our cats has no use for us at night. But the other like to sleep either on my pillow above my head, or under the covers. The best thing about under the covers is that I sleep on my side, so he goes into the crook of my knees and I get a very serious two paw massage. Granted, it's on one tiny area of my calf, but it's still nice.
