And now it looks like I may not get to leave when I wanted to, since I may be all that stands between my team and a shit storm.
Perhaps I should grab some coffee.
Sooner or later, you're gonna want it. And the second — the second — that happens, you know I'll be there. I'll slip in, have myself a real good day.

Lawmakers pelted the podium with eggs and catcalls before stalking across the aisle, putting their colleagues in headlocks and engaging in other tactics not exactly covered by Robert’s Rules of Order. Smoke bombs were set off in the chamber. Glue was poured into voting machines. The legislative leader directed the session behind umbrellas held by his aides, to protect him from projectiles.
Some great action photos.

NPR had a story this morning about Noriega, and mentioned that among the pop songs blasted to drive Noriega out of his compound, "Never Gonna Give You Up" was included.
Welcome to the Jungle was also very popular. Why, yes, I was in Panama during the "incursion"

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Waah, why does the internet get so slow at this time of day? And don't give me any stupid "facts" about it being quitting time for people in other time zones.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
But it seems like it's slow across all time zones.
And my crisis has been averted, so I may be able to leave as long as someone is here to "push the button."
What an up and down last hour of work!

From what I understand that leak is 5,000 feet under. That is seriously deep. I think that's deeper than the crush depth of even Russian military subs.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Sometimes I wonder if people can hear themselves.
They can't.
Man, I hope they can't. Because if they can actually hear themselves being so stupid, I will cry for our species.
