Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Hosni Mubarak is hated in Egypt, but reluctant to give up power. Meanwhile, the Republican Party is desperate for a credible presidential candidate. Are you thinking what I'm thinking?
That's just implausible enough to be funny.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Was yours out by the old torn-out railroad tracks with that cute boy you always had UST with but never hooked up? Because I'm starting to suspect (AGAIN) that you're actually me.

Less comical part of the HB Gary vs. Anonymous thing:
As Jenny Holzer noted, "Abuse of power comes as no surprise." Though I am still naively surprised at the close intertwine of government and corporations to effect policies that are not subject to democratic scrutiny.
Note to self: Be even more cynical.

Kathy, do that self-eval.
ION, Matilda had pigtails this morning and was quite pleased with herself. "Teacher Helen, do you like my pigtails?"
There's fishing for a compliment, and then there's cornering one and shooting it in the face.

YES!
Well, no. It was with Ingrid R., a frenemy (the one who liked to call herself the beauty and me the brains), behind Cosimo's, the pizza place, in the alley. With many, man Marlboro Lights. But I did once make out with a cute boy I crushed on back there!
I should probably turn off Memory Lane now.

Interesting - the news this morning was saying that the military had stated they were in support of Mubarak.
According to an Egyptian friend of mine, the law in Egypt is that, in every family that has at least two sons, at least one of them has to join the army, so the army is generally seen as more representative of the people than the police, who are appointed by the government.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
According to the radio (MSNBC), the military went to Mubarak last night and told him it was over. As in, if he didn't step down, soldiers were going to start donning civilian clothes and join the protesters.

Would it help that the CBC were talking about a split in the military this AM?
