Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Steve Schmidt: Palin Believed Candidacy 'God's Plan'
Many Republican leaders are afraid Palin will be the 2012 Republican nominee, because she has almost no chance of winning the general election. So people are saying we're gonna see lots of Republican attacks against her.

Steve Schmidt: Palin Believed Candidacy 'God's Plan'
I don't know if that means much. IME plenty of people will attribute all manner of things in their life as "God's Plan", almost to the point of being an expression devoid of meaning.
I've never thought that Palin would win a nomination in 2012, but I have to admit it's hard to see who else will emerge. Of course, that doesn't mean someone won't. Also, she hasn't had to voice any policy and that always brings candidates down a bit. Aside from drilling in ANWAR I have no idea what she'd want to accomplish as president.

More on the sexbot:
An engineer, Hines said he was inspired to create the robot after a friend died in the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks. That got him thinking about preserving his friend's personality, to give his children a chance to interact with him as they're growing up. Looking around for commercial applications for artificial personalities, he initially thought he might create a home health care aide for the elderly.
"But there was tremendous regulatory and bureaucratic paperwork to get through. We were stuck," Hines said. "So I looked at other markets."
The broader goal of the company is still to take artificial personalities into the mainstream, beyond sex toys, Hines said.
"The sex robot thing is marketing – it's really about making a companion," he said.
Well OK then.
IOW, Blah blah blah 9-11 blah blah sexbot.

travelling question for the hivemind-
My boss is taking a NYC-Boston shuttle and thinks he can make the 3pm flight, but it will be tight. Would it be better for him to book the 3pm flight and if he misses it, he gets on the 4pm, or book him for the 4pm, and if he gets there early, he can get on the 3? I'd be booking a refundable ticket, so changes would be OK and not incur fees.
