I'd rather stay home and watch television. It's often funnier than killing stuff.

It looks like Trader Joe's is part of the Peanut Butter fall out. If you eat Trader Joe stuff with Peanuts, please check the list: [link]

So, Tom Daschle withdrew?

Looks that way. Also Nancy Killefer for tax reasons as well.

'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"

I'm beginning to wonder if the IRS hasn't been examining the tax returns of prominent Democrats extra-hard in the past few years....

How hard can it be to figure out that someone hasn't been paying taxes on something they are shelling out @$125,000 a year on?

ETA: Although I have more of an issue with the head of the treasury/not paying taxes issue myself.

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 can't decide if this is Wrong or So Right: Very few discerning people will ever own The Life of Christ in Cats

The Life Story of Jesus, gloriously captured in cats by internationally reviled Birthday Card artist Antonio Fictitio.Crafted in the finest Armitage Shanks Urinal Grade Porcelain.

It is the greatest story ever told. A man whose life brought joy and hope to the faithful of the world. A man who preached a message of love and peace, and died for all our sins. A man whose Word lives forever in all our hearts. Now, every aspect of that miraculous life, from His lowly birth in a manger, to His agonising death nailed to a cross is whimsically captured in charming feline form, by the artist and cat enthusiast Antonio Fictitio.

Drawing his inspiration from an extremely large gas bill, he 'purr'-fectly brings this 'tail' of inspiration to life and gives 'paws' for thought to lovers of cats, plates and Jesus alike.

This plate is not available in the shops. It is exclusive to the Dangleberry Mint and car boot sales all over Britain from mid September. (Viz Comic Issue No.85)

I'll have a new tagline in a few minutes....

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

What do people from other parts of the country call it?

Emmett has always called it a Suicide Soda (and so, I presume, have all his friends).

Though I consider his school a little linguistically shady--it's full of the kids of Cal alums and grad students, hence full of transplants from all over the country (everyone at his school also calls rock-paper-scissors "roshambo," which none of the second or third-generation CA natives I know had ever, ever heard of until a couple of years ago).

Count me as not surprised the Republicans in Congress worked extra hard to keep Daschle from becoming SecHHS. He was hoisted by his own petard, but I'm sure the Repubs are breathing a sigh of relief.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

(everyone at his school also calls rock-paper-scissors "roshambo," which none of the second or third-generation CA natives I know had ever, ever heard of until a couple of years ago).

Huh. I'd never heard it called Roshambo until I moved here. Relatedly, we called the mixed-up sodas Suicides or Kamikazes.
