I'm mildly amused that it's "customary" immunity--so I guess the whole Nuremburg thing was just ill-informed?

Oh yeah, well I want "customary immunity" from red lights, restaurant checks, and saying "fine, how are you?"
Heads of state need to be particularly de-immunized to promote a rebirth of responsibility.

Moe, I was astonished to learn last night that all of our new neighbors are dems. One who I thought was a total wingnut went on an anti-w rant that would have made any atriot proud. I'm really convinced that the Australia election was a precursor to what is going to happen here. A total blow out.

It's really nice having the time. That particular pattern is quite intricate and thus quite a bit of concentration is required when working on it. And of course I had to deviate from the original pattern. Can't pick it up for just a few minutes. Requires hours at a time.

Ah, yes, I remember when an elegant meal included a pear half (from a can, in heavy syrup) filled with mayonnaise, topped with shredded cheddar cheese.

I've been waiting for someone to write the definitive book on Tex-Mex. It's as varietal as French wines. I knew a three-restaurant place in Austin with the same menu, but blindfolded I could have told you if I was eating from the one north, south, or central. There was that much subtle variation. Then there are the more broadly regional variants.
Gonna have to retire so I can write it myself, I guess. Big state. Lots of restaurants to visit.

I'll go back to only watching TV while I cross-stitch; or better, spend my time catching up on my reading.
I'm telling you, the OPPO upconverting players raise regular DVDs to 720 or 1080, whichever you have, play all variants of CDs and DVDs, all iterations of DivX discs, and handle all kinds of audio, from simple stereo to 7.1.
I've got a little 12-inch TV I bought for fifty bucks when I moved here. We get the four broadcast stations, but one of them talks funny. When I want to see something especially, like the Super Bowl, I head to a bar with a big screen. Seems kinda, I dunno, pathetic, to have such a thing in my house.

From the Globe & Mail:
A plan to attack Iran swiftly and from above
PAUL KORING
WASHINGTON — Massive, devastating air strikes, a full dose of "shock and awe" with hundreds of bunker-busting bombs slicing through concrete at more than a dozen nuclear sites across Iran is no longer just the idle musing of military planners and uber-hawks.
Although air strikes don't seem imminent as the U.S.-Iranian drama unfolds, planning for a bombing campaign and preparing for the geopolitical blowback has preoccupied military and political councils for months.
No one is predicting a full-blown ground war with Iran. The likeliest scenario, a blistering air war that could last as little as one night or as long as two weeks, would be designed to avoid the quagmire of invasion and regime change that now characterizes Iraq. But skepticism remains about whether any amount of bombing can substantially delay Iran's entry into the nuclear-weapons club.
Attacking Iran has gone far beyond the twilight musings of a lame-duck president. Almost all of those jockeying to succeed U.S. President George W. Bush are similarly bellicose. Both front-runners, Democrat Senator Hillary Clinton and Republican Rudy Giuliani, have said that Iran's ruling mullahs can't be allowed to go nuclear. "Iran would be very sure if I were president of the United States that I would not allow them to become nuclear," said Mr. Giuliani. Ms. Clinton is equally hard-line.
Nor does the threat come just from the United States. As hopes fade that sanctions and common sense might avert a military confrontation with Tehran - as they appear to have done with North Korea - other Western leaders are openly warning that bombing may be needed.
The moon was faked by NASA.
I thought we weren't sure where the "nuclear Sites" are, because they're underground, mostly?
Off to the farmers market. Later, Hatriots.

Yay!!! watertiger.
I'd like to move to 'stralia.
Nor does the threat come just from the United States. As hopes fade that sanctions and common sense might avert a military confrontation with Tehran - as they appear to have done with North Korea - other Western leaders are openly warning that bombing may be needed.

Actually, this has a strong whiff of "So long as the US does it, so we can disavow any knowledge...."
Feh.
Smeagol?
I am jumping around like an idiot here. Still waiting to hear if that fuckwit lost his seat in Bennelong, too.
FUCK YOU, JOHNNY HOWARD!!!!!! WHEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
Barry from AK in Sydney was live-blogging Oz election coverage last thread.
JOHNNY HOWARD IS OUT! AUSTRALIA IS FREE!!!
Hmm... I wonder how far into the "celebrations" my uncle is.
Okay, I'm back to blogwhore.
These people are so predictable.
Ooooooooooh, a 1000 grammes of Pingouin wool yarn for $9!
The moon was faked by NASA.
NTodd, Boxer-Briefed
NASA also faked all its orgasms to get that fur coat you gave it.
He lost his seat, he's "retiring".
Barry was in Sydney? Oh, that lucky, lucky bastard!!!!
Of course on CNN and MSNBC it's Natalee Holloway all the time.

watertiger, Barry from Alaska said Howard did lose his seat to a "Sheila." Check the thread below.
I am jumping around like an idiot here. Still waiting to hear if that fuckwit lost his seat in Bennelong, too.
Howard also lost his own seat.
Is that who you mean?
He lost his seat, he's "retiring".
He did? Oh, there is joy in Mudville!

That's okay. The fur coat's fake too.
In other news, Adolph Eichmann was told by courts that he had immunity due to his status as a government leader. Meanwhile, Adolph Hitler continued his tour with David Horowitz concerning left wing biases on US campuses
He lost his seat, he's "retiring".
You pretty much have to when that happens.
JR, from the Times:
Howard also admitted he was likely to lose his seat in Parliament,
becoming only the second sitting prime minister in 106 years of federal
government to do so.
",,,there is joy in Mudville!"
Someone alluded to Ruddville, or Ruddslide.
That's okay. The fur coat's fake too.

according to Barry who is in Australia, YES! In his concession speech he mentioned he wouldn't be back. total retirement.
In other Oz News, Dindi Irwin has decided to remain a child and not seek stardom at the moment.

I could make a joke about Ruttingham, but then thers would get too excited.

In a parlimentary system, losing your seat means even your neighbours hate you. That's why it's pretty much political death. Partiews will often move their leader to a safe seat because of that.
Do they have an Outback Steakhouse in Australia?

I wouldn't trust Sarkozy that much, if I were Bush.
NYT:
But one of the biggest changes will be in Australia's approach to climate change. Rudd has nominated the issue as his top priority, and promises to immediately sign the Kyoto Protocol on greenhouse gas emissions.
When he does so, the United States will stand alone as the only industrialized country not to have signed the pact.

How does a cruise ship run into an iceberg these days?

The ship likes straight sex.
I've actually been waiting to see about the hotel and stuff... I have been telling everyone who can cover at work I will be in Philly in March...
Say!
Anybody who has any old knitting wool that they want to get rid of, I'll be happy to take it off your hands. And needles.
I feel a knitting fit coming over me. There's a sheep that's just begging to be reconstructed.
The Captain and First Officer stayed on the ship as the passengers boarded lifeboats, but could have been rescued after.

No, really.

Email me your address and I'll send you some seeds. These make lovely big white flowers w/ a vanilla/lemon scent in the evening.
West of Patterson, CA is a back road through a very dry range of mountains that ends at the Observatory above San Jose, which name I forget.
Jimson weed daturas are all over the place there.
okay, that's weird. freakin' greasemonkey's deleting my personal info?
FUCK YOU, GREASEMONKEY!
Man, I am giddy with the good news.

Datura is popular in nurseries here, as a garden plant.
What most people think is "beelladonna" is actully Common, not Deadly, Nightshade.
Those Kozy Shack people make some good, pure
and simple tapioca pudding, even a line of really good sugar-free puddings.
I don't cook with bugs, at least not intentionally.
come here, you. You need a pinch.
I'll be in my bunk.

Brugmansia or Angel's Trumpet, which can be distinguished from Datura by its pendulous
flowers, is highly toxic.

Reminds me of the guy who complained to his deli that there was a fly in the raisin bread he bought the day before. So the deli owner told him if he'd return the fly he'd give him a raisin.
