So, Comcast came to install cable for me last Saturday, but the guy couldn't do it. It turns out that my building, not one of the 30-40 units has Comcast - everyone who has cable has RCN. There were a bunch of Comcast cables coming into the building, but all of them were cut. (So now I have to have a special Comcast visit today, and another Comcast visit tomorrow.)

So, my theory is that ridding the building of Comcast was part of some terrible battle against some horribly evil foe. And me bringing Comcast back is sorta like me reading from the Book of the Dead in Evil Dead - I'll be reintroducing the evil back into the building.

So, maybe I should just get RCN?

Recommended punshiment for Wilson -- a 10-page essay explaining why "we're ashamed the president is from Texas" and "Stop the War" T-shirts at presidential appearances were inappropriate and even treasonous for the last eight years, but out-and-out calling the President a liar on the floor of Congress and carrying assault rifles outside presidential appearances are now appropriate. With Cindy Sheehan and Natalie Maines to decide whether his work is adequate.

oh THIS I love.

After the speech, Rahm Emanuel, the White House chief of staff who sat a few rows in front of Mr. Wilson, said he immediately approached senior Republican lawmakers to encourage them to identify the heckler and urge him to issue an apology quickly.

Heh. SO not surprised.

Yglesias:

Personally, I sort of liked Rep Joe Wilson’s idea of introducing British-style heckling to the halls of congress; totally disrespectful and out of step with American tradition, true, but their tradition is better. Unfortunately, Wilson was also lying about the point at issue and will thereby set back the cause of heckling by decades.

Ohhhh... to have been a fly on the wall of that "encouragement."

Oh, I so need to talk to my neighbor across the street who works with Rahm...

Yes, you do and pass on our fangrrl appreciation. I want a photoshop of Rahm with BAD ASS tattooed across his fingers.

Heh. SO not surprised.

The line about Rahm sitting a few rows in front of Wilson immediately brought to mind an image of him immediately scrambling over the seats to clothesline the SOB.

Brings a slight tear to the eye, it does.

You know, if someone wants the overnights for a meeting that starts at 8:30, it'd be nice to know about before 9:45 during that same meeting...

God I hate 8:30 am meetings.

Um... just in case anyone wants to boggle (is that a word) over the WORST SPORTS COLUMN OF ALL TIME:

Actually, this is an article about the worst sports column. The actual column is about Jaycee Dugard, and all the sports she missed while being raped in captivity....

Goodness knows that was my first thought...
