I'MMA LET YOU FINISH
I'm not worthy!
YAY!
Happy Friday everyone. In case you were wondering:
FUCK BUSH.
I am Mr. Met. Hear me roar.
Chuffy--where are my manners? Thank you for plugging up that gaffe!
Is Bianca a lesbian?
a new thread already? souper!
If you're a liberal when your young... and a conservative when you're old... you're just incredibly selfish!
Pre-emptive kittens, you hetero puke bacteria!
Sallyh --
Is the Cooking Liberally cookbook available?
Inquiring minds want to know!
Dammit, Sallyh... We had a moment alone there together.
Oh well.
no trolls yet, but thread is young.
I am Mr. Met. Hear me roar.
Mr. Met
You misspelled the first syllable of my name, but I hear you.
I have another question:
Can we get Bush to take a drug test, since he's a federal employee? I'm just askin'...
HICA!
.
While "the course of a true threading never did run smooth" is also didn't count very well, either!
no trolls yet, but thread is young.
Mr. Met
you're right, but don't get a big head about it.
What is the sound of one thread roring?
so, where were we? Oh, right. Brownie batter.
So, any suggestions for whiling away the time until disaster strikes?
The sehedule for these things is really starting to stink....
BJ--either click my homepage, or email me if you hate Paypal and I will give further instructions!
Cool. New thread.
Who let Mr. Met in here?
HICA ...what?
so, where were we? Oh, right. Brownie batter.

can't you get arrested for that?
Oh, goodie! Now I get to look at Wiley putting a headlock on Gizmo!
Y'know I just realized:
Me trying to give relationship advice?
Kinda like taking sailing lessons from the captain of the Titanic.
Or attending an ethics panel chaired by the Chimp.
So just ignore everything I've said up til now.
Is Texas a part of the United States?
Chris Matthews is on my nerves already with his "Kalla Rada" faux local bullshit. He should get outta here and go Potra Rika.
can't you get arrested for that?
actually, the recipe calls for a 1/2 tsp. of assault.

Posted this below, but... your Friday news dump:
Embattled Food and Drug Administration Commissioner Lester Crawford resigned Friday, telling his staff that at age 67 it was time to step aside.
His resignation came just two months after the Senate, in a long-delayed move, elevated the longtime agency deputy and acting commissioner to the top job.
Crawford's three-year tenure at FDA was marked by increasing criticism, as the painkiller Vioxx was pulled off the market for safety problems, recalls of malfunctioning heart devices mounted and controversy grew over wider access to emergency contraception.
Last month, morale at the agency plummeted when Crawford indefinitely postponed nonprescription sales of morning-after contraception over the objections of staff scientists who had declared the pill safe. FDA's women's health chief resigned.
Still, Crawford's resignation, effective immediately, was a surprise. An affable veterinarian who specialized in food safety, he was elevated by President Bush from acting commissioner to the full job in part because his experience was deemed important as the FDA attempted to better safeguard the food supply against bioterrorism. Crawford gave a speech Monday in Washington during which he betrayed no sign he was planning to leave, instead discussing upcoming FDA policy on the safety of cloned beef.
Health and Human Services Secretary
Mike Leavitt accepted Crawford's resignation "with sadness," said department spokeswoman Christina Pearson. "We thank him for his service and wish him well."
Asked if he was forced to resign, Pearson declined further comment, calling it a personnel issue...
Sallyh --
Will do!
But with that I have to sign off.
Night, batses!
Normally I would consider this simply another urban legend in the making but, my source is completely trustworthy. Please help get the word out.
From an active lieutenant in a police department east of Atlanta, a warning issued concerning the "Bloods". Officers are being warned that September 23 and 24 is the "Bloods" nationwide initiation weekend. The warning is as follows:
If you are driving after dark and see an on-coming car with no headlights on, DO NOT FLASH YOUR LIGHTS AT THEM. This is a common Bloods gang member initiation game that goes like this:
The new gang member under initiation drives along with no headlights. The first car to give a courtesy flash to warn them that their headlights are off becomes their "target". He is now required to turn around, chase the car, then shoot and kill every individual in the vehicle in order to complete his initiation requirements.
bj,
I'd rather take advice from someone who's lived through it than from some Dr. Phil type.
Know what I'm sayin'?
Chertoff hasn't had his daily blood.
RMJ, I could send you the chapter I am about to rewrite - it is my favorite piece of writing ever as it is a minister giving a speech only the meaning is directly opposite of what he is saying. A carefully constructed bit of semantic sleight of hand. Or you could just have a cold on and turn on some nice music.
Some say that Bush is not only abusing alcohol again, but that he is also using cocaine. Some say his drug use is a threat to homeland security. Some say Laura has been threatened by the Secret Service with a "plane accident" if she leaves him during his term as president.
I'll leave it to FOX news to prove these statements false...
Is Texas a part of the United States?
Max Planck
We're still debating that.
It's evenly split between "No" and "Hell, no!"
We'll know when, or if, Bush pledges to stay in Texas as long as it takes.
It'll mean we're screwed.
What's up with the DC March tomorrow? Half the lefty blogosphere is telling people to stay home. Why?
I fear the right will capitalize upon what might be a low turnout.
The philly phanatic is a known ant-eater.
Normally I would consider this simply another urban legend in the making but, my source is completely trustworthy.
Sort of like the Bush Administration's reasons for going to war...
"I fear the right will capitalize upon what might be a low turnout."
Nah - it's no lose now - if there's a low turnout we can say it was out of respect for the storm victims.

All right. I'm off to plant the patio tomato in the strawberry pot. Then, the celery goes into the green pepper patch. The lettuce is in the raised planters. The pen of my aunt is on the bureau. Vestal? You'll find the man of your dreams under 'U' for unimagined and unexpected. Also, untidy, unusual and utterly perfect.
oh, and sallyh, I'm just being courteous, you are doing a great job. Now watch this drive...
speaking of relationship advice, i could use some from the women present. my ladylove has the blues, owing mainly to a work crunch and the fact that her parents, sister, and best friend have all moved away from our part of the world or are about to. what can i do to cheer her up (besides emailing her with links to cat pix)?
It's starting to get windy here.
Found a restruant still open this morning. The drive down I45 made me cry. We must have seen a hundred abandoned cars. Litter everywhere. It was like the storm had already happened.
The scene at the restruant was amazing. People ‘camping out’ in the parking lot. Sam, the owner, kept it open as long as he could (they ran out of food). The minimal, over worked staff (one cook!) were friendly and upbeat. But the look on some of the peoples faces as the sat in their booths, just staring, lost. Again, I felt like crying.
I keep thinking of the older lady sitting in her car by herself in the gas station parking lot last nite. The sound of her voice when she said “thank you” when we gave her some chocolate, like surprise, happiness and sadness combined, with a little tremor.
Damn.

Half the lefty blogosphere is telling people to stay home. Why?

Well, duh.
Everyone knows you gotta put assault in battery.
Chuffy--I wouldn't be shocked if they bumped off Laura to give the Chimp a 'sympathy bump' in the polls.
After all, she's only a woman. And one past breeding age.
agave -- that's heartbreaking. scenes from the apocalypse.
I want to start the Crony Party.
The goal of the Crony Party will be to get myself and all my friends into power and stear as many government funds in our directions, and in the directions of our backers.
In other words, the goal of the Crony Party will be nothing but more wealth and power for ourselves and for our backers.
Ohh yeah. I forgot. Of course, we'll never get elected if we are up-front about our agenda. So, we'll have to focus upon hot-button emotional issues that distract people from our agendas and make them think that we are on their sides and that we will work for them.
Anyone else want to join my new political party?
Damn.

Who's saying to stay home?
I'll be there. Hope I see each and every one of you!!
Apparently there is some mention of a 'planned exercise' in DC - where martial law is declared... cops and agents are going to be in plain clothes and so on.
It's all over the blogs - believe I seen it on DKos. I'd go to the march at your own risk/ or prior planning for such type of an event.
Unless you plan on going to jail or whatever they might have in store.
Hoohah.
FUCK BUSH
If you don't copy and paste this post and put it on 3 other blogs using haloscan, you will have your kidneys stolen while you're on vacation, Nieman Marcus will steal your cookie recipe, and Chuffy will never get that limo he asked for for Christmas.

Fix her dinner when she comes home all tired. That's what I would like. Also, just let her be a bit blue for a while without telling her to cheer up. She has had a loss and she needs to feel sad over it a little. YMMV.

The first nationwide panic over it was in 1993. As a result, people still very rarely give the courtesy flash when people's headlights are off where I live.

The right will capitalize on a low turnout by saying that the marchers are "out of the mainstream." The right wil capitalize on a huge turnout by saying that the marchers are "out of the mainstream" and a threat to the safety of the United States and traitorous commies.
The moral of this story is: don't ever worry about how the right wing characterizes the people they don't like. You can't control their behavior. Control your own, and work for the day when they will crawl back into the caves where they belong.

did you get the check for the cookbook?

I could really go for some Italian-style stuffed mushroom caps and a bottle of St. Peters Cream Stout.
But I'll probably be settling for a couple of Little Seizure's pizzas on the way home.

Do you like Maron's "Dream Diary" with his dead cat, Butch, on "Sedition?"
Sallyh -
The last time I made brownies, I woke up in a fog watching the credits to Dead Alive wondering why I wanted to eat brownies some more, and then I woke up listening to Pink Floyd wondering why I wanted to eat another brownie, and then there were no more brownies so I put my pants back on and went to bed...

Sooo....how's the reality-based community doing?
I gave up on work and came home to get some rest, and now I feel the same except with a sore neck from sleeping on it wrong. Colds suck. Gotta find out whom to sue for this ^_^
I see Jenna settling down with a minor league baseball player.
NotJenna will of course marry me to spite her father, in a WWE-style twist.
She sat on my couch in college, I might be able to clone the twins if you can do that with couch cushions...

y'know, Echidne, i think you've got a point. for the longest time i thought i was supposed to offer solutions when Carla talked about her problems. but then i thought about what i wanted when i talked about my problems, and it wasn't solutions. just some understanding.

Otherwise, nuts to what the right thinks.
Just a drive-by to share my observation on the idiocy of the cable news stars:
On the Situation Room, Wolf was talking to a reporter doing the requisite wind-tunnel-experiencing-Cat3-hurricane thing, and Wolf, not once but numerous times said, "Don't try this at home."
I would now like to take a poll to find out how many people here have windtunnels at their homes. I will go on the record as saying, no, I have no windtunnel.
The trick to making great brownies is to saute the MJ in the butter you are going to be putting in the brownie mixture.

But that's laid up for the apocalypse, to buy off the looters and roving bands of hooligans.
I went by about six stores today around lunch, all closed. I was wondering if it is too soon to start the looting. I really need some shaving cream.

Tickets either to or from her people whenever she wants. Phone calls at will. Incorporate missing them into your behavior - eg, 'Wouldn't your Mum be crazy about this? Call her and we'll tell her all about it.'
Super Stevens, in the words of Dave Chapelle...
WHAT!?
This website states:
"French and American intelligence agents have arrested Barbara Olson, the wife of a former Bush administration official, a few days ago on the Polish-German border, according to agents close to and with knowledge of the incident."

Hey, that headlights story is not funny. That happened to my sister's roommates's uncle's cousin twice removed! Swear to God it did!
Democracy Dies in America, But Few Seem to Really Care: "Dubya was a pansexual Pandora's Box of treachery and freakishness, born deep in the bowels of Nowhereville, Texas. Nobody really liked him and very few people in Washington wanted to be seen in the same picture frame unless it was tossed into a lit fireplace or raging bonfire. There was something disturbing about him, the quiet voices said - a sense of a deadly organic being that was morphing upon itself, like a corpse bloating in the New Orleans sun. It was inconceivable that a petty thief and unhinged frat boy could be leader of the free world and speeding around the bayou at night, squealing like a demented pig about alternative rock and the kings of the East joining the forces of the North and turning against world civilization, burning it to the ground."
bruschetta, yummmmm.
Yes, I'm a big fan of that show and virtually everything they do on it.
Me, too. It's my favorite AAR show. I like the Cardinal A LOT, but Butch is my absolute favorite. Today he brought back "Recovery Corner," which I enjoyed a lot leading up to the election. Now that Fredo is drinking again I suspect we'll be hearing more of it.
what can i do to cheer her up (besides emailing her with links to cat pix)?
I usually find that cooking my lady dinner, providing chocolate afterwards and offering to give her oral sex until she explodes does the trick.

The trick to making great brownies is to saute the MJ in the butter you are going to be putting in the brownie mixture.
Or shred the herb in a food processor and combine with melted butter and steep a good 12 hours at room temp. Then, make Toll House Cookies with the mixture. The brief time at high temps preserves the 'interesting' components. Plus easier portioning.

and asks, "What happened?"
"Terrorists kidnapped President Bush and they are asking for a $10MM ransom. Otherwise they are going to douse him with gasoline and set him on fire. We are going from car to car to take up a collection."
The driver asks, "How much is everyone giving on average?"
"About a gallon."

I've found after filtering out the leftover plant bits from the butter some won't know that the brownies have been adulterated. Unless this is your plan and your willing to pay the karma price, you should always give a strong warning to those who might eat it.

deluxe sampo,
Not really a woman but have lived with one for thirty four years. Acceptance is the credo here. Just understand that sometimes she just does not want to have anything to do with you or anyone else. It is the highest form of love to accept that your partner is a person with needs that you cannot always meet. The important thing is to make yourself available for whatever she needs. If she chooses (as mrs. dwd does) to watch some treacley movie on TV, allow her the time to do that. The very worst thing you do is put further demands on her.
As a crossword puzzler, I have trouble believing that Barbara Olson article--IItalian currency is either "lira" or "lire" but never "lyra."

Yes, you are correct. A mis-spelling disproves the whole article. Hey, I noticed that you mis-spelled "Italian" - now I can't trust you either.
I always warn those about to ingest my ganja products.
Not for the meek.
That Barbara Olsen story is bogus. Come on, it's too farfetched. Applying Occam's Razor it's clear the only explanation is that was one of her clones.

Well, my sister is a nurse in LA, and she works with someone who was married to an internist (not any more) whose receptionist actually met the ER doctor that treated the victim.
Now, don't get me started on Richard Gere's gerbil.
Normally I would consider this simply another urban legend in the making but, my source is completely trustworthy.
Oh that is classic. I think every urban legend starts with the same disclaimer.

Anti-War Rally Will Be a First for Many
The seasoned protesters who organized tomorrow's antiwar demonstration are well-versed in many other causes. They have marched and rallied against police brutality, racism, colonialism and the policies of the World Bank and International Monetary Fund.
But their message on the Mall tomorrow will be singular: "End the war in Iraq."
Because of that sharp focus, they will be joined by novice protesters such as Patrice Cuddy, 56. Interviewed by phone yesterday, the former public school teacher in Olathe, KS, said she had to pull off her gardening gloves each time a neighbor interrupted her yardwork to ask about joining the bus she had chartered to go to the nation's capital.
"It's small and it's quiet here in Johnson County, but more and more people are becoming part of the group that doesn't agree with this war," said Cuddy, who was planning to load about 45 people onto the bus in a Home Depot parking lot this morning for the 20-hour ride to Washington.
Organizers say that similar busloads of teachers, nurses, housewives and others with little experience in mass protest are coming from Wisconsin, New Mexico, Illinois, Iowa, Georgia, Ohio and many other states.
"This demonstration will reflect, by far, the most diverse group of antiwar protesters since before the war began," said Brian Becker, national coordinator for the ANSWER Coalition, one of the event's sponsors. "We have people coming from all political persuasions, including a very large number of people who have never before been part of the antiwar movement or protest activity."

Bush finally gets his way with a bald guy.
French and American intelligence agents have arrested Barbara Olson, the wife of a former Bush administration official, a few days ago on the Polish-German border, according to agents close to and with knowledge of the incident."
Let me guess, the Israelis warned her not to take the flight. (eyeroll at conspiracist nutjob) 
Also, don't let your friends eat too many brownies at the gathering, or you might just witness projectile vomiting from the balcony...well, unless you think that's kind of funny, like I did once...

MENA!!!
Go Cindy Go!
En route to Washington for the rally, anti-war activist Cindy Sheehan protested outside Clinton's New York office. "She knows that the war is a lie, but she is waiting for the right time to say it," Sheehan told about 500 cheering supporters. "You say it or you are losing your job."
Spokesmen for the Democrats who are skipping the anti-war event all said they had schedule conflicts. But some leading anti-war activists aren't buying it.
"There are a lot of people here who are wondering, where are the Democrats?" said Tom Andrews, a former Democratic House member from Maine who's now the national director of Win Without War, one of several groups that are organizing three days of protests against the war in Washington starting Saturday.
"The Democratic Party has an identity crisis on this issue. We need voices. We need leadership," Andrews said. "But fear is driving them."

Man: Hey, what are you guys doing here?
Rumsfeld: Discussing how we're going to start WW III.
Man: Well, tell me the plan!
Rumsfeld: OK, we're going to kill about 140 million Muslims throughout the Middle East and one Blonde with big tits.
Man: Why are you going to kill the Blonde with big tits?
Rumsfeld to Bush: See? I told you nobody cares about killing 140 million Muslims...
"I remember when I lived in Colorado Springs and wanted to go for a drive up Pike's Peak, people would say, "Don't drink any soda first, or your stomach will explode" in complete seriousness."

Oh, please! The 3 bus loads leaving from my chunk of one time Bush country are populated with boringly regular everyday tax-paying, voting, church-going American citizens who just happen to be upset with the lying criminals occupying the White House and needlessly slaughtering young American soldiers in an illegally foolish execution of a false pretext war.
So, Bush canceled his visit to Texas today. I'm disappointed in that we didn't get to see him make a fool out of himself again during a pointless photo-op (of late, his polls have being going down each time he pulls a stupid publicity stunt), but no doubt his not visiting probably saved countless lives. The utter waste of precious resources that goes into kissing his useless ass for those photo-ops is amazing.

U.S. BARS ROBERT FISK FROM ENTERING COUNTRY
by Doug Ireland
September 23, 2005
The internationally renowned correspodent for The Independent -- the great British journalist Robert Fisk -- has been banned from entering the United States. Fisk has been covering war zones for decades, but is above all known for his incisive reporting from the Middle East for more than 20 years. His critical coverage of the Anglo-American invasion of Iraq, and the continuing occupation that has followed it, has repeatedly exposed U.S. and British government disinformation campaigns. He also has exposed how the bulk of the press reports from Iraq have been "hotel journalism" -- a phrase Fisk coined.
The daily New Mexican reports that "U.S. immigration officials refused Tuesday to allow Robert Fisk, longtime Middle East correspondent for the London newspaper, The Independent, to board a plane from Toronto to Denver. Fisk was on his way to Santa Fe for a sold-out appearance in the Lannan Foundation 's readings-and-conversations series Wednesday night. According to Christie Mazuera Davis, a Lannan program officer, Fisk was told that his papers were not in order.

Somewhat similar, i.e., miso is derived from soybeans, but fermented, whereas I think soybean paste is just paste from soybeans. Best source for miso paste might actually be a natural foods store. The hippies eat that shit up.

When I was a very, very small GWPDA, my Grandmama's sister in Ft. Smith sent us a 50# sack of Georgia papershell pecans for Christmas. This lead to the Great Experiment, where we made every single variant of both pecan pies and pecan pralines that anyone had a receipt for. EVERY SINGLE VARIETY. I have the winner of both competitions in my receipt book. The whole exercise took four people two weeks.... It was followed by the Great Divinity Test....

I think that's about right. Though he's not exactly Lenny Bruce, the show took on a more sarcastic tone with Mike -- but it still was essentially the same show -- which made sense as the writers remained the same and Mike was head writer.

Hey, hey. I like Ebert. We have a very similar taste in movies, so I trust his word. Except when he's very very wrong, and I want to slap him.
I've mentioned before Ebert has been coming to Boulder for a week once a year for our annual World Affairs Conference since the 70's. In addition to a cinema interruptus weeklong dissection of a great film, he (as do all participants) appears on panels on many subjects.
This past spring I attended one that had a fundie/creationist/ID proponent with a couple of legitimate scientists and Ebert. Not being a politician, or a scientist, Ebert felt no need to be diplomatic. It was a joy to behold any public figure treat the nutty fringe ascientific types with the utter disdain they merit.
Got to see him on a panel with Molly Ivins as well. He also talked about becoming a target of wingnut death threats and hate mail over his support of a Kurdish emigre restauranteur of his acquaintance accused of being a terrorist by the feds.
Good guy and smart as a whip. He may look funny after losing weight, but it was that or die.

I've been listening to Randi - she says the freepers have been out calling her today. She tried to talk to a couple, but of course the chickenshits hung up. One stayed on and started accusing her, Cogbotly, of supporting our enemies blah blah blah. She tried 3-4 times to get him to specify who these enemies are and how she is supporting them, but all he could say was "there's too many to name..." Lame.
She went off on a good rant, referring to them as ass-sniffing lemmings with no choice but to follow each other off the cliff. It's the same with our trolls. Someone will lay out carefully researched fact after fact to support a case, and a troll will sweep it all of the table with a derisive sneer, dig into his pants and offer his own opinion based on what he ate earlier that day.

If you don't like Antichrist, maybe it's just some incarnation of evil like Beelzebub, or maybe Nostradamus' Great King of Terror. He could be a horrible anti-boddhisatva who's decided to put off the karmic cycle until he can drag souls into sin and desire.
BWHAHAHHAHAH!
Now it's not just the SEC that wants Frist's ass. The U.S. Attorney wants him, too:
WASHINGTON (AP) -- Federal prosecutors contacted Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist's office about his sale of stock in HCA Inc., the hospital operating company founded by his family. The Securities and Exchange Commission began an investigation, too, and prosecutors asked HCA to turn over documents about the transaction.
Prosecutors from the Southern District of New York contacted Frist's office ''to inquire about the sale,'' spokesman Bob Stevenson said Friday. He did not say when the office was contacted, but said neither the senator nor his office had received a subpoena.
At the risk of generalizing, I'd like to state that all insurance companies are scum.
Well, surely there'll be some commercials where the brave adjustor choppers in to inspect some damage in Mississippi.
Just call him "Litigation Jackson."
I've just been converted to end-times christianity!
Now if you add up the numbers of his name, George Walker Bush, according to the table above you get 7+5+15+18+7+5 for George, +23+1+12+11+5+18 for Walker, and +2+21+19+8 for Bush, which all adds up to a total of 177 = 1+7+7 = 15 = 1+5 = 6. That's our first six..
Mr. Bush was born July 6, 1946. So if you add up all the digits in his date of birth you get 7+6+1+9+4+6 = 33 = 3+3 = 6. There - now we have our second six.
The antichrist's first step in his goal of attaining complete world domination for Satan, was achieved on that fateful day Bush was first elected governor of Texas - his first elected office - on November 8, 1994. Again, just by adding up the digits we get 1+1+8+1+9+9+4 = 33 = 3+3 = 6. The third six.
update !! : After losing the popular vote on November 7, 2000, the antichrist will take his next giant leap towards ruling the earth when he is inaugurated president of the United States on January 20, 2001. 1+2+0+2+0+0+1 = 6. Another six to replace the one he had as Governor!!

Hey, I don't think it's the End of History. That's my cyncical reference to Fukuyama... who said, basically, that we're at the end of history, cuz everyone wants to be like Merika, and it's only a matter of time, etc.
Fukuyama can bite the end of my history.
"The year 1999, seventh month,
From the sky will come a great King of Terror.
To bring back to life the great King of the Mongols,
Before and after Mars to reign by good luck."
And Bush announced his candidacy for president in June 1999!
"A doubtful man shall not come far from the reign
The greatest part will uphold him
A capital will not consent that he should reign
His great chair he shall not be able to maintain."
And look- that's Al Gore. People doubted him... about inventing the internet! He won the popular vote, the "greatest part." But the Supreme Court struck him down, and he was unable to become president.
Huh, huh?

I went to elementary school in North Miami Beach and the school was 90% Jewish, except for the principal's office and teachers, who were old-fashioned Floridian ladies graduated from the teachers college in Tallahassee. The kitchen and janitorial staff were black.
Every year before Xmas break, they showed "Santa Claus vs. the Martians" as part of our "Fun Day" right before we got our Xmas assignments. I always wondered why--did the southern ladies think this was a secular film suitable for Jewish kids at Xmas? Did the Dade county school system just luck into a stray copy of the movie?

"And we end up in a swimming pool! And I’m doing splashy splashy with this girl I really fancy. And she’s doing splashy splashy back and I’m going, “Fuckinell, splashy back!” You know. Cause splashy splashy is the aquatic equivalent of “Do you want a cup of coffee?” Right? So splashy splashy’s going well and I suddenly think, I know! I’ll turn! I’ll do swimmy swimmy, and then maybe she’ll do swimmy swimmy too in a kind of chase me chase me way and then we’d do catchy catchy and underwater sexy sexy! But I turned a – and I was so elated that splashy splashy was actually working that I just swam like a boy chased by sharky sharky! I swam, swam and I swam, and I was in when they caught up to me! And that’s a long way from England. Cause it goes England, Venezuela, Beirut, Africa, Cincinnati, Hanging Gardens of Babylon… It’s near Switzerland."

Ok, I've never seen MST@#3 - But I did see the previews for Attack of the Killer Shrews when I was about 7 or 8. I think they came on right before House on Haunted Hill

Is Texas a part of the United States?
Hello no! Texans are Mexicans.
After all, their ancestors wanted to be Mexicans.
They accepted free land from Mexico on the conditions they would become Mexican citizens and obey all laws of Mexico.
Figger if their ancestors wanted to become Mexicans we should honor their wishes and call their offsprings Mexican.
Don't you?

Well, just got through filling sandbags for here. Had to wait in line for 3 hours to get the bags. If I had wanted to have them filled, it probably would have taken all day. So I just got about 100 empty bags and we went down to the river and got the same sort of sand and filled them. They're headed back to fill more. I think they're overdoing it but you can't tell them that.
By the way, any Austin folk should call 974-1110 to volunteer to help the evacuees.
Those poor Houstonians.
Just got back from south of Dallas, on the highway to Houston. Dog gone there was a boatload of evacuees. THey were everywhere. We must have seen thousands of cars that were obvious evacuees. Of all those cars many broke down on the Dallas highways. We saw a good sign. THere were quite a few Dallas cops looking to help stranded motorists. ANd there was an impromptu rest area along a wide grassy spot beside the highway that had some porta potties. Many, Many more were stopped along the highway like they were wondering where to go next. We also drove right by the place where that bus blew up. Nothing much to see, but some burned grass, and the spanish networs broadcasting from that spot.
We were stunned by the sheer numbers of people fleeing Houston. All for nothing.
But what a horrid day. THe engine blew up in my van, so I'm now off to, hopefully, buy a new one ( I do hope our credit is good enough). Will be back later.
Like the episode where the newspaper misspelled "aunt" in an obit.

Scout you arent going to DC are you?

I am Mr. Met. Hear me roar.
Uhm. Roar? Shouldn't you have been roaring a coupla weeks ago, before the Metsies squandered a chance to play after the regular season?
Still, I thought the Mets would be a .500 team this year; I hope they get there.
karmic_jay...No. My kitty has been sick and I just can't leave her.
BBC world svc reports that most but not all people are off the highways, and winds are starting to pick up quite a bit.

Another example of Bush's total imcompetance:

Federal Emergency Management Agency who could tell him how many buses were needed for an evacuation, where they should be sent and who was overseeing the effort.

Ô¿Ô - boy, that's some rainfall. I remember being in the San Fernando Lamas years ago and having that much rain - so much so that the Sepulveda Dam Basin that the Corps of Engineers had built was overflowing - so much so that every possible means of leaving the Valley was cut off. I do believe the only thing that really saved anybody then (given that in the best Los Angeles fashion, most of the storm drains had been installed backwards so that water hitting them immediately bounced out) was that we had lots of open ground around houses. Much more than anybody realised - things were soggy for months and months. But better wet dirt on the flats than on the hills....
Anyway, I need to wrap up things here.

Off to catch a bus to DC, long ride from Atlanta.
Sent the following email to a friend this afternoon:
My wife's family is from New Orleans. Her brother is a med student in Houston. The brother spent a couple of days on an airboat rescuing folk in New Orleans following Katrina, then returned to Houston. At 3AM Thursday morning, he got in his car to evacuate Houston and headed north on I 45 North. Today at 1pm ET, having during the preceding 34 hours travelled only a few dozen miles from Houston, he called my wife's parents to ask them to get on Mapquest and tell him what side roads to start taking. He reports that the situation on the road from Houston is in a state similar to what was occurring at the Convention Center in New Orleans: People are sitting by the roadside without gas, food or water; all the gas stations are sold out and all the stores are closed; people are beginning to talk of looting stores to get water for their children, etc; and most particularly that, contrary to reports, there are no fuel trucks coming through. The hurricane itself may come to be an anticlimax, but I'm not sure that it is clear from the MSM reporting the degree to which it is now obvious that, four years after 9/11 and mere weeks after Katrina, we are completely incapable of engaging in an evacuation of a major US city EVEN WITH DAYS OF WARNING. A dirty-bomb attack on New York will not come with such an advantage.
The sickest thing that ever happened

They're not. Go back tomorrow and get more sandbags. And a sump pump if you have any sort of a basement or underground structure at all. The Shreveport/Texarkana area could get 30 inches of rain because this freakin' storm is due to come to a dead stop right on top of you.
If you already have a sump pump, get another one.
