Who is the couple with the PhD candidate? Because his girlfriend or wife, or whatever she is, is insanely whiny.

Rachel and Brendan from Big Brother. They are the worst. And he is a PhD candidate the same way I'm a figure skater.

Oh, is he not getting his PhD actually? (I can't for the life of me figure out why he's with her--she's annoying and such a drama queen!)

I do like some of the other folks, though. But I kinda like the army guy, but NOT his relationship with his wife at all (mostly because he's being an ass to her, she doesn't seem nearly that bad)

I got to the hotel at 8:15 and immediately turned on the TV! But annoyingly, though there is a restaurant here and they also say they can order from other restaurants...nowhere is there a menu for any of that. Or room service, apparently. I don't want to miss Good Wife after this, but I'll be hungry!

He does sound like a total dick.

"The question is whether the plaintiff was fired simply because he was wasting people's time and bothering them in ways that would have led him to being fired regardless of whether it was about religion or whether he was treated worse based on the religiosity of his beliefs," said Volokh. "If he can show that, then he's got a good case."

If it was based on his religion and he wasn't bringing that into the workplace in such a way that would have had him banninated (okay, fired) even if he believed in a supreme platypus or Higgs Boson, then bad on JPL. But you can't try to shove your religion down people's throats in the workplace and claim that's just religious freedom. It's not.

I really don't understand ... people. I was writing more but I can sum it up with just not understanding people.

I mean, I'm sure he was in a PhD program before he went on Big Brother the first time, but he's got to be a professional reality show contestant at this point, after two seasons of BB and now this.

Having been in a PhD program... well, I'd probably still pick that over two seasons of Big Brother, but then I have an abhorrence of being on television.

I just got back from Madison, and gosh darnit, I am just wiped out from the driving and the moving and sorting and packing stuff. I'm glad my sister drove from Clintonville to Madison, or I'd be even more wiped out.

I am obviously not a 20 year-old guy anymore.

Also, what would you do if you found a kitten with a hand-grenade? That was the question my youngest son Mason asked my sister.

My sister said something about seeing if the pin was still in the grenade and then finding the kitten's mommy.

Both my sons are obsessed with kittens. And explosives and guns and bazookas....

Throw the grenade, not the kitten.

How angry is the kitten?
