Olivia and I were leaving the gym when the steering wheel froze up and the vehicle vomited pink, oozing power steering fluid all over the ground.
That sounds sub-optimal, I'm glad you're both okay.
Angel: I appreciate you guys looking out for Connor all summer. It's just—he's confused. He needs time. That's all. Fred: Right. Time, and some corporal punishment with a large heavy mallet. Not that I'm bitter.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
NASA concedes defeat in effort to free rover
The US space agency NASA has conceded defeat in its battle to free its Spirit rover trapped in the Sand on Mars.
The vehicle became stuck in soft soil back in May last year and all the efforts to extricate it have failed.
NASA says Spirit, which landed on the Red Planet ver six years ago, will "no longer be a fully mobile robot," and has instead designated the once-roving scientific explorer a stationary science platform.
Sad. But I wonder if I can call in to work tomorrow and say I can't come it because I've been designated a stationary science platform.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Are they going to rename it? It should be the Spirit stander now.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Thanks, Gud. Aside from the 17 degree temps, and wind, it's alright. We got a ride home so we're safe and sound. A friend is coming to watch Liv and get Owen off the bus while I go to meet the tow truck. I'm sure it's just the power steering pump.

How about dress Mr. Peabody up as a zombie and have him chase you around the yard?
He is usually the chasee.
When I was reading World War Z, I thought, "Mr Peabody would be an awesome anti-zombie dog."

James O'Keefe, the 25-year-old who became a hero on the right by dressing as a pimp and filming himself and a female partner, Hannah Giles, exposing apparent malfeasance in ACORN offices, has gotten himself back in the news. This time, things aren't going quite so well for him: He and three others have just been hit with federal charges in an alleged plot to wiretap the phones in the New Orleans office of Sen. Mary Landrieu, D-La.

A USDA official:
Recently, several news articles have incorrectly stated that the U.S. will be relaxing or lifting its ban on Scottish haggis. At this time, haggis is still banned in the U.S. The APHIS rule covers all ruminant imports, which includes haggis. It is currently being reviewed to incorporate the current risk and latest science related to these regulations. There is no specific time frame for the completion of this review. Please check back with APHIS periodically for updates.
