Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Haven't even Bill O., the Coulterbeast, and Michelle Malkin said that the birthers are batshit crazy?

According to Salon, only Rush seems to be waiting for all the facts to come in or something. [link]

“Not dead yet!”

He's a multicultural, global thinking, intellectual. The antithesis of far right. If he was also a gay atheist, we'd probably have states actually seceding.

I just snorted green tea up my nose.

Well, Lou Dobbs is by far the biggest pusher here. Biggest name one, anyway.

Well, Lou Dobbs is by far the biggest pusher here.

And is getting spanked every day by his CNN colleagues. It's just not getting as much airplay as Dobbs' own drivel.

Which means it's either - as O'Really says - a ratings ploy, or senior staff at CNN who are pushers, too.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I'm confused by the lap-band ads on TV where the woman says she's having the surgery because she wants to go to Paris with her husband. I can see that the father might be too overweight to participate in as vigourous as exercise regimen as he might initially want to, but whyever does she need drastic measures to lose weight to go to Europe? Is she afraid of being mocked by nasty French people or something?

Did anyone here watch the Simon Baker series The Guardian? I'm trying to work out if it was quite as incredibly depressing as it seemed. Did my eyes deceive me, or did the Alan Rosenberg character jump off a bridge in what turned out to be the series finale?

I have developed an addiction to frozen fruit. I can't stop eating the stuff I've bought to make into smoothies. I rationalise by the thought that it's no less healthy this way than blended, but it still seems wrong. But it's just so tasty, especially on a hot day. Which we haven't quite had in a while.

'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"

FWIW, I do know morbidly obese people who have trouble fitting into airline seats, so a long flight is very uncomfortable. But I think the ad is trying to be more romantic-sounding than "my husband will want to have sex with me again."

If so, we have a zillion ways to mock Americans, her efforts are fruitless.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I don't see how eating frozen fruit could be wrong unless it hurts your teeth.

Have you seen the ad? She's not morbidly obese, except maybe by BMI standards. And we know what that's worth. And to give them credit, it looks like her hubby still likes her a lot.
