Hmm. It's sounds like the finest party I can imagine getting paid to go to.

I don't think we can judge accomplishment by length of Vita.

I've seen some very long ones with nothing in them. And some very short ones full of remarkable contributions. I remember a guy who said "I only list my publications in Nature and Science. The papers in other journals are more like preliminary drafts>" He had one page of publications but it was a very, very impressive page.

Rick,

you say that, but a 40 page CV involves a whole lot of stuff! Truly.

Welcome to the world, Rose! Congrats Kate fam!

What good news to wake up to! (And Kat, I was awake for kid drama, but I just now woke up from falling asleep around four, so I got almost six hours. No enchiladas today, though, and I have to kick into high gear now, as soon as it seems plasuble I could leave the bed.)

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

Um... what?

Outrage as Egypt plans 'farewell intercourse law' so husbands can have sex with DEAD wives up to six hours after their death

Egyptian husbands will soon be legally allowed to have sex with their dead wives - for up to six hours after their death.

The controversial new law is part of a raft of measures being introduced by the Islamist-dominated parliament.

It will also see the minimum age of marriage lowered to 14 and the ridding of women's rights of getting education and employment.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

How is this not the part causing outrage?

It's the Daily Fail: I would be skeptical of the reporting.

Anyone else posted this link to Stephen Colbert's speech at the Time 100 Most Influential people banquet? It's quite awesome: [link]

I was particularly excited to meet David Koch earlier tonight because I have a Super PAC, Colbert Super PAC, and I am -- thank you, thank you -- and I am happy to announce Mr. Koch has pledged $5 million to my Super PAC. And the great thing is, thanks to federal election law, there's no way for you to ever know whether that's a joke.
