*I know, I know. It’s 10:30 AM. A time, arguably, that rational people would no longer call “morning.” But I am not a rational person. I spent the past eight hours rescuing crystal artifacts from the mud pit of doom that is my basement.

Thought muscles?
The hijacking of words by the Bush Administration merits countless dissertations in Communications and Linguistics (freedom act, freedom institute, patriot act, spreading democracy, etc etc etc)
Huh? If 10:30am isn’t morning then what is it?
Also, I’m suprised there was no link to the story about Ted Haggard saying “I think sexuality is confusing and complex… The stereotypical boxes don’t work for me. My story’s got some gray areas in it. And, of course, I’m sad about that but it’s the reality.”
Poor guy.

“Israel pounded rocket sites and tunnels Saturday while its planes dropped leaflets warning of an escalation”
what exactly is the purpose of dropped leaflets, is it meeting some type of etiquette of war? oh, btw, you won’t have a house by tomorrow and your family most likely will be dead and you may be too
Oh, stop it with the kittens already, you’re making me hungry.
“look around you”–That was the funniest thing I’ve seen in a while. TYVM
I hate George Bush’s freedom.
