Ginger, were you one of these voters?

Yahoo is telling me that Petraeus is resigning from the CIA because of an "extramarital affair."

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Yahoo is telling me that Petraeus is resigning from the CIA because of an "extramarital affair."

Jeez, what a bad spy.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

I am grateful to not be in Broun's district, but about 20 miles west of it. I would have been one of those voters if I lived in Athens. One voter said, "I said I'd vote for the devil himself instead of that man, so I did."

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

This is cool:

Frum: Republicans lied to by 'conservative entertainment complex' - POLITICO.com

Conservative columnist David Frum argues that "Republicans have been fleeced and exploited and lied to by a conservative entertainment complex."

It's a short video.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

Yahoo is telling me that Petraeus is resigning from the CIA because of an "extramarital affair."

Yeah, I just saw that on Breaking News.

I also just saw this, which is Nate Silver's abandoned personal blog where in 2007 he was attempting to statistically determine the best burrito in Chicago. AS IF WE NEEDED MORE REASONS TO LOVE HIM.

My company prides itself on having "military-grade" security, which is apparently why we are still running WinXP and IE 8.

Hahaha! My company just upgraded me to Office 2010 and. IE 7. Which only happened because I had a computer issue and had to send it in. Otherwise I would've been on IE6 for another year. And since the main program I use is only compatible with IE6, I have to run an emulator to use it, which is a huge pain in the ass.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

Is Fox news or someone else right wingy reporting in the last day or two about proposed gun or ammunition taxes? Just her some sky-falling folks discussing something about it that just sounds completely off.

I saw that too.

Just got a call from my son, from school. My mind immediately jumped to the worst scenarios: he's thrown up, he broke his leg, he broke something at school and he's in big trouble. Nope, he's at the book fair and, without permission, he brought all his money to school and wants to buy a $20 Lego book, and the cashier insisted he call for permission first.

I said yes. In the grand scheme of things, there are worse things that my son can sneak behind my back to do.
