I'MMA LET YOU FINISH
O_o
Yowsa.
wo hooot
Threadbot run amok.
again.
Last time I was in South America, I was shown the "Bird Eating Spider". Nightmare material, I tell ya.
"Threadbot run amok."
Have you seen the "Threadbot Gone Wild...Mardi Gras 2004" dvd?
It's hot.
"And Judge Samuel Alito was confirmed to the Supreme Court today. President Bush said that Sam's got the intellect necessary to bring a lot of class to the court. That's what he said. Yeah, like the rest of the judges are sitting around in their underpants eating Cheetos, you know?"

Threadbot acting like an out-of-control firehose
The threes are magical.
How to keep up?
Threadbot ADHD. Medication or therapy?
Howdy!
Threadbot ADHD. Medication or therapy?
Yes.
Nim!
Hey, guess what. I'm going to a conference in Madison, Wisconsin in April.
That'll be fun, eh?
Izzat my cue to shower, and prepare for Ifill?
Oh wait -- better to shower after Ifill.

Thank you folks for the links to kittens. It's still not Wiley and Gizmo, but at least it makes me laugh to see some of these silly little guys.

Hey, it's a lifetime appointment, you never know.
Last year we had Mars
This year manimals.
2007 - Bush announces the goal of constructing a Stargate.
I'm neck-deep into season four of "Oz" ... motherfucker, and I have a question.
Where's my motherfucking toothbrush shank, motherfucker?
Btw, for those who missed it earlier, there are 3 new Curly pix @ homepage.

I'm going to a conference in Madison, Wisconsin in April.
Don't forget to self-reflect beforehand.
I have this mental image of Threadbot as the robot from Lost in Space, madly waving his dryer-exhaust-tube-arms about while repeating, "Warning! Warning! Danger Will Robinson!"
(And while I'm on the subject, why in the hell couldn't they be bothered to give that robot a name? He was always "THE robot". I think that would piss me off, even if I was just a robot.)
Give credit where due department:
Alito supplied the nessecary fifth vote the stop a Missouri execution last night. Maybe he takes his religion seriously, unlike Scalia, Thomas or Roberts.
Hey, NTodd!
Are you home, or still traveling? No pics of Sam or Mexico?
(mourning loss of Cairo).
NTodd--Holden is very, very upset with you, because you're getting a Racing Pony.
Hey, you said something about being in San Diego next week. If you're around Friday, I can probably arrange something, if you're not horrifically busy.
Oh No!
There goes Tokyo.
Go Go Threadbot-Zilla!!!!!
2007 - Bush announces the goal of constructing a Stargate.
Good idea - we might run out of countries to invade on *this* planet.
Jeffraham--just skip Ifill and take the shower. She's worthless.

Either that or he's pulled a David Souter.
Wouldn't THAT be a riot?
(And while I'm on the subject, why in the hell couldn't they be bothered to give that robot a name? He was always "THE robot". I think that would piss me off, even if I was just a robot.)
Actually, I thought his name was "Robot".
2007 - Bush announces the goal of constructing a Stargate.
Shit, that was accomplished in 1996 when Clinton was President -- is Bush trying to take credit for the Stargate?
Alito supplied the nessecary fifth vote the stop a Missouri execution last night. Maybe he takes his religion seriously, unlike Scalia, Thomas or Roberts.
The supremacists are supposed to base their decisions on the rule of law, not the guidelines of any particular religion. So, even if true, that's not a source of comfort.
Sallyh: Jeffraham--just skip Ifill and take the shower. She's worthless.
Sure, but, y'know... it's sometimes entertaining to see what the pundits are dancing around, this week.
Then, Now.

May I say how much I HATE Valentine's Day?
Hey Jeffraham! How has this week treated you?
Either that or he's pulled a David Souter.
Wouldn't THAT be a riot?
My fondest hope. I have to say, in many ways I trust Alito's earnestness much more than Robert's slickness.
2007 - Bush announces the goal of constructing a Stargate.

Actually, it might encourage those Egyptian-esque aliens to "liberate" us.

Thanks so very much for the packages. I just got home and opened everything. The boys love their toys.
As for San Diego, my class ends at noon but I'm taking the redeye (dep. 10pm), so if you are free, I've got a few hours to kill!
mena: Hey Jeffraham! How has this week treated you?
I've had better weeks.
.
" May I say how much I HATE Valentine's Day?"
Not me, I make use of it to send out cards, if I've missed Christmas.
May I say how much I HATE Valentine's Day?
Yes. I've always hated the fucking holiday. Really.
Hi mena!
in many ways I trust Alito's earnestness much more than Robert's slickness
I don't understand that, really. He's supposed to be a jurisprudential judge, not an imam.
Jeffraham - I'm sorry dear. I wish there was something I could do, really.
Sallyh,
If you're going to be drinking Liberally with NTodd, let some of West Coasters know the particulars, please?
Hey Central S! How's Trout?
mena: Jeffraham - I'm sorry dear. I wish there was something I could do, really.
This, too, shall pass.

Getting mysterious and shadowy valentines sounds pretty good to me.

Not mine. I really just hated how manufactured it all was. Damn Hallmark. Damn them to hell.
indifference
That's my take on Valentine's Day. Why am I supposed to care?
Hey, bitches! Ready to celebrate the Bush economy!?!
Are you ready to be true patriots and defend our country against Iran!?!
in many ways I trust Alito's earnestness much more than Robert's slickness
Alito's earnestness? In the hearings, he came across to me as unctuous, arrogant, and unwilling to deign to respond to those he deemed his underlings.
"This, too, shall pass."
Damn, Jeffraham! Would it be inappropriate to pray? Can't think of anything specific to help out with. Let me know if you need anything specific that's within the grasp of someone on a limited income in L.A. to help with.
I dunno. I think I look at Valentine's day the way I look at a whole lot of other things - as a foreign country. Just not much in my field of experience or interest.
Another fucking Hallmark holiday, just like Sweetest Day.
Screw that shit.

Right there with you Terry C....just broke up with boyfriend of seven years! Spending a lot of time online lately!
Mena,
He's fine, lying on the bed sleeping off a big meal.
I'm going to a conference in Madison, Wisconsin in April.
I went to a conference on media reform in Madison. It was a great good time. Guess it depends on the attitude of the other conferees.
I've had better weeks.
Sorry, man.
Mary told me when we first got together that she hated Valentine's Day and she'd be angry if I ever got her any Valentine's Day gifts. Then two years ago she asked me, "how come you never give me any Valentine's Day presents"?
Oy. This year I will give the gift of malt liquor.
Are you ready to be true patriots and defend our country against Iran!?!
If Iran releases one of these with Ahmadinejad 's name, I'll be first in line at the recruiter...
Thirty years of Chief Justice Roberts.
Thirty years of Justice Alito.
Thirty years of the next Supreme Court Justice's replacement.
What a wonderful time to be an American!

No; it's okay. I've been here before. Well, not quite, but close enough.

I'm going to a conference in Madison, Wisconsin in April.
Are you going to have any time to hook up with local (or semi-local) liberals?
NTodd--could probably get down there and we could eat lunch somewhere cool. Or at least tasty. Weather should be nice.
Fuck Valentine's Day.
How much?
I'm thinking $500, and I'll throw in a lens and a 512MB memory card.
My sister gets first crack at it, tho.
Either that or he's pulled a David Souter.
Wouldn't THAT be a riot?
Terry C, Coldplayer
That would be perfect.
"The Bush curse."
Not real hopeful though.
Jeffraham,
I hope "this" passes quickly, in that case.
SallyH -
It's freezing here at the beach! You having the same?
and, yeah, I hate Valentines day with the passion of....

How can you hate a holiday that prominently features chocolate?

The Jane Goodall Syndrome. But really, Valentine's Day is just a bore, like a giant shapeless recliner chair. Everybody wants it and they're welcome to it.

I hate VD day PERIOD
Hallmark holiday
Ha ha. Scrolling up I see all the lovely ladies hate V-Day.
Bullshit holiday to the max.
I've always been neutral towards Valentine's Day. Monsieur always asks me what I want, and I always say the same thing (I do love red roses). For him, it's an excuse to get new camera equipment he's been lusting after and can't wait till our anniversary for.
I went to a conference on media reform in Madison. It was a great good time. Guess it depends on the attitude of the other conferees.
Oh, I always manage to have some fun at conferences. I was curious if I might meet any vacuous lawprofbloggers on the trip, tho.
It's freezing here at the beach! You having the same?
Maybe you should be wearing something more substantial?
Good Lord, what am I SAYING???
Hey NTodd -
Doing my usual scroll backward. How are you ?

you obviously don't understand women.
What's with all the Valentine's Day haters?
I absolutely LOVE mandatory expressions of affection, especially ones that require the spending of money!
Eli -
well, it's probably 50 degrees, but I'm a delicate flower.
Valentine's Day is couples uber alles. The Tyranny of the Coupled.
Which is presented as the norm, the average, odd in a country where there are now more single-person households than households with 2 or more people.
watertiger: Fuck Valentine's Day.
Best V-Day present I ever got, actually.

I like the chocolate.
It's all that other bullshit that I hate!
My sister gets first crack at it, tho.
Well, I don't want it if it's cracked, actually.
I love Valentine's Day. It's a great day to show your lover how much you care for them.
Unless you are of the same sex, then you are a Godless freak and should be vanished from the earth.
I can't say that I hate valentine's day, but I'm really good at ignoring it...
But really, Valentine's Day is just a bore, like a giant shapeless recliner chair. Everybody wants it and they're welcome to it.
I guess "nuisance" is probably a better word to sum up my attitude. I suck at romance.
I actually kind of like Valentine's Day. I know it's commercialism at its worst, but I was kind of hoping it helps our economy. But I guess if they outsource it to India or somewhere....
Fuck Flag Day, too.
My friend calls the Hallmark types the "smug marrieds". I think it's a line from Bridget Jones but it's apropos.

What I mean is that Alito considers himself -- and I think probably is -- a judge who believes in certain constraints on judicial decisionmaking. He is in the true sense a conservative. Very conservative, yes, but not an idealogue. Roberts is much more a blank slate. I fear he is more the idealogue and more willing to indulge in result-oriented decision making.
A true conservative judge might decide things differently than yo would, but they won't go out of their way to twist an distort the law to reach a result they prefer. There are no "liberal" judges on the court just now. Only some pro-legislature moderates (Ginsburg and Breyer) some incrementalists (Stevens, Souter, and Kennedy) and some wack-job "Etat et Moi" types (Scalia and Thomas). I have no idea how Alito or Roberts will turn out -- the Court is like psychotherapy, you go in as one person and emerge as another.

Not odd at all, really.
The vehement celebration of Valentine's Day will increase as "normal" hetero-couple households wane.
Just as "Mother's Day" was a direct reaction to the suffragettes.

I know ...
But now that the fight regarding his confirmation is over and he is on the court, some attorneys representing people who are in terrible places, who have really been fucked over by the government or by people with tremendous wealth or power, have to get up every day and throw arguments at that Court praying all along that justice will in the long run prevail. If it was all as fixed and cynical as the confirmation "fight" made it out to be, I -- and a number of really good hearted hard working attorneys -- would have to drink drano.
