hmm i just logged on, and suddenly i had 50 copies of internet explorer running (??!!). so far, norton has only detected a tracking cookie. do i have anything to worry about?
Again:
Obama (re: Rev. Wright): "The man I met more than 20 years ago is a man who helped introduce me to my Christian faith."
So, if Rev. Wright only introduced Obama to Christian faith 20 yrs. ago, exactly when did Obama decide to become a Christian, and what religion was he before that (for the 20+ yrs. before such introduction)?
This is the kind of compelling political anecdote that draws me back to this shithole.

Was I drunk on Saturday but I did see the Stanford Cardinal mascot is a tree.
The Mascot: There is no official mascot at Stanford University. The "Tree," which is a member of the Stanford Band, is representative of El Palo Alto, the Redwood tree which is the logo of the city of Palo Alto. Since Stanford University and Palo Alto are almost inextricably intertwined in interests and location, it is a natural outgrowth of this relationship. The tree still exists and stands by the railroad bridge beside San Francisquito Creek – it is the site where early explorers first camped when settling the area.

IIRC, the Supreme Court says the 11th Amendment means the exact opposite of what it says.

Old news by intertube standards, but I'm developing a loathing for the Vice-President. Cheney on the 4000 "milestone":
"It obviously brings home I think for a lot of people the cost that's involved in the global war on terror in Iraq and Afghanistan," Cheney said in the interview, conducted in Turkey. "It places a special burden obviously on the families, and we recognize, I think — it's a reminder of the extent to which we are blessed with families who've sacrificed as they have."
Cheney: 'The All-Volunteer Force'
"The president carries the biggest burden, obviously," Cheney said. "He's the one who has to make the decision to commit young Americans, but we are fortunate to have a group of men and women, the all-volunteer force, who voluntarily put on the uniform and go in harm's way for the rest of us."
Glad to know the tap-dancing, leering nincompoop is the one carrying the heaviest burden in this thing. And all this time I figured it was the grieving families.

Stanford has no Mascot, just a color.
While the Cardinal has always been one of the school’s official colors, the nickname has gone through a series of changes, student votes, controversy and confusion.
Since 1981, Stanford has been known as the Cardinal. Stanford was known as the "Indians" from 1930-72. As for the mascot, Stanford does not officially have one.
"We don't even get to be THE BIRD the Cardinal? WTF."
As we Democrats swift boat ourselves again, it becomes obvious: John McCain will be our next president (if it isn't Bush).

TEHRAN: An American nuclear submarine has crossed the Suez Canal to join the US fleet stationed in the Persian Gulf, Egyptian sources say.
Egyptian officials reported that the nuclear submarine crossed the canal along with a destroyer on Friday and Egyptian forces were put on high alert when the navy convoy was passing through the canal.
An American destroyer recently left the Persian Gulf, heading towards the Mediterranean Sea; earlier on Thursday, a US Navy rescue ship crossed the canal to enter the Red Sea.
The deployment comes as recent reports allege that US Vice President Dick Cheney is seeking to rally the support of Middle Eastern states for launching an attack on Iran.
This is while US officials deny that Cheney’s Mideast tour is linked to a possible military attack on Iran.
According to the latest reports, in recent months a major part of the US Navy has been deployed in and around the Persian Gulf

I am a stupid racist moron. I believe George Bush is a good Christian man who never goes to church. And we don't speak of his years of being an alcoholic cokehead. But it is important to know exactly how and when Obama declared his Christianity, how often he goes to church and which church he belongs to, and what his pastor says. I am also a hypocritical asshole.
XIX is the one that lets girls be citizens too. (in theory.)
Pretty much all of the Bill of Rights is redundant. IX and X just reiterate what was already implicit in the design, too.
IX and X were added because the Federalists were concerned that generations later some fool of an idiot might think that those rights enumerated were the only ones protected.

All her life Melanie had wanted to become a gubernatorial aide. Her friends and family made fun of her. Her teachers told her that governors didn’t hire klutzes, that they wanted the kind of girl who could walk from New York to Boise with a book perched on her head. But Melanie didn’t care. To her, being an aide was the most important and exciting thing in the world. She would wake up early on Sunday mornings, eagerly awaiting her father’s appearance in the kitchen, at which point she would hand him the paper and beg him to tell her to get him some coffee…

oddly enough, a form of basic. got in big trouble, too. only honors math students were allowed, and some guy from the school district it dept used to come and monitor classes. so our class was supposed to code a basic program - on cards - to solve quadratic equations. two of us did this quite quickly, and spent the rest of our time punching in code to make the printer draw snoopy with @ signs.
we were printing it off when the guy showed up. he was pissed that we were using his toy as a toy.
