I refuse to listen to his voice or catch sight of his visage - I will not be demonically possessed this week.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Then we can have fun quoting him out of context. GOOSE MEET GANDER.

Sweet. Thanks. I'll have a small bag so I'll likely bus to T to T to feet it.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I posted this just because I love this Wonkette quote:
Despite the best efforts of our armed forces, some people still live in impenetrable compounds. Of stupidity.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
I listened to a couple minutes of Rush. Sounds like sarcasm to me. So no, Hell didn't freeze over. Ah well.

Jesse - thanks for the kick-ass. I'm not sure if that will work, but I'll try it. My "matchmaking" interview is in 40 minutes and I'm a bundle of nerves.

Helicopters are very complex and are sometimes known to fail even with the best preventative maintenance
Every Coast Guard helicopter flies with a mechanic on board. That's how fragile they are. Which is why BSG amused me: the Coast Guard has 3 mechanics for every pilot, and on BSG, the proportion appeared to be reversed.
So, no, it doesn't surprise me that one of the choppers had mechanical problems. But each of them is worth, like, $4M (or more)...
I am profoundly uncertain what to think about Bin Laden's death, except that I'm not sure I'm required to have an opinion, either.
He won't get to hurt anyone else, which is good. (I had no expectations of redemption.) And the people whose friends and families he killed feel better, which is good. But his death doesn't mean the US is pulling out of Iraq or Afghanistan, and it won't stop people with fixed ideologies and hardened resentments from trying to blow other people up.
So while it's a relief that he's finally dead, I don't think things are actually going to improve much as a result.

Isn't there a Fenway stop on the green line? I'd think that would be a lot closer to Fenway Park than the Hynes stop. (And maybe closer than the Kenmore stop, though I'm not as sure of that.)
