Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
So you know how Republicans are suddenly all concerned about the budget deficit again.
So:
And Republicans have made it clear that they intend to try to shift the economic debate toward concern about the federal deficit.
They are also preparing to use the ballooning deficit to renew their push for additional tax cuts.
So they're still living in Bizarro-land....
Politically, Stimulus Battle Has Just Begun
I'm having one of my favorite lunches. Couscous, bacon, feta cheese, almonds, green beans, dried cranberries. All in a bowl mixed together. I love all in a bowl mixed together food.
Lunch from the cafeteria today is jerk chicken, red beans and rice, and green beans, with a banana for dessert.
At least my lunches are getting healthier! (The cashier was wondering why I wasn't getting any of his super-yummy double-chocolate cookies like I always do, and I told him I'm trying to eat better.)
Parents on Facebook really cramp one's style. As do 12 y-old nephews
The CEO of my company is on Facebook. I felt I kinda had to accept his friending invitation. No "God, I hate my job today" updates for me.
I don't really think so. LJ gets my fangirl stuff and I really don't know what I'm doing on LinkedIn and stuff, because I can't imagine any situation where anyone says "Get her! The brain-damaged novelist wannabe with the Olbermann fixation!" Yeah, right. Except I felt complimented that Victor asked.
All this talk about dieting summoned the Vengeful Diet Gods--my Girl Scout cookies were just delivered to my desk.
Oh, well, one last big splurge before next week's appointment!
Disturbing headline o' the day:
Tesler said when he joined the narcotics unit, he was told to “sit, watch and learn” from superiors who cut corners to meet performance quotas for arrests and warrants. “I was a new part and plugged into a broken system,” Tesler said.
Tesler said when he saw Smith about to plant baggies of marijuana inside Johnston’s home to make it look like a drug house, he shook his head in disapproval. Tesler said he falsified the police report and later lied about the raid because Smith told him to follow the cover-up script. Tesler said he wasn’t about to “rat” on a senior officer.
Okay, I think I'm starting to like Leverage. Nate definitely rocks my world.
Nate's actually the least favorite of the characters for me, even though I do think he's very interesting. Something about the father figure who kind of wants to drink himself to death even as he helps people just grates.
I think that's kinda spoilery, Perkins, because it states or implies that it persists through the season. I think. Fine line.
Sophie's my least favourite. She's a nag who lacks self-awareness, when she's not being cool. Hardison, Parker, and Eliot don't stop being cool.
