I think Jessica may have been right and it is linked to a decrease in solar activity or something.

It's not an argument I want to continue, it just isn't good family politics. OTOH, I don't want to dismiss arguments out of hand when I don't have all the information. This makes me horrible in political arguments, because I don't want to make or dismiss an argument unless I'm sure of my facts.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

I know is that I honestly don't think that any Democrat... would make them happy.

Some people just like to bitch, is my theory.

One advantage of the flu mist is that it's thimerosal free, as are single-dose units, but not multi-dose versions.

Okay, I think that the NPR piece I mentioned earlier, that I *thought* mentioned egg-free vaccine, actually mentioned thimerosal-free injectable vaccine, *not* egg-free.

I'm pretty sure this time.

Yup. And, whatever. If they want to, then they're going to. Although I always want to ask them, "Do you like ANYTHING??? AT ALL???" But it's not worth engaging them.

OTOH, it seems to me that the Obama-hating rightwingers *would* be happy with just about any Republican in office. Weird.

I think anyone looks good when a guy you don't like is in charge. Heck, there were a lot of Republicans I'd be happy to have replaced GWB with.

I knew the world was a weird place when I looked back on George Herbert Walker Bush and thought, "I miss him."

He at least understood why foreign policy was important.

Totally.

Shoulder rubs don't count as policy?

I had a similar thought this morning. I was listening to the soundtrack to "Judgment Night", and wondered if anyone in the early 90s ever thought we would be nostalgic for gangsta rap some day.

I think the cooling argument was similar to this article.

At least that's about what it sounded like to me, though the Al Gore connection was an addition.

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

That was Dubya.

I have to admit that it softened me a wee, tiny bit toward GHWB to find out that (a) he was actually named for the poet Herbert Walker, and (b) he's at least vaguely familiar with Walker's work. Not quite enough for me to forgive him all his horrid offspring, but just a wee, tiny bit.
