Boos and Yays, a la Miss Raven:

Boo: Weird sleeping issues, not as bad as in the past because I'm staying asleep but still not fun because I'm getting to sleep later and sleeping later. This morning, from five until ten. And tonight we'll fall back an hour and then I'll really be in the soup.

Boo: I thought about calling in sick today, and being snuffly and sneezy and maybe productive around the house, but then I realized just how much I cannot afford to miss a single day of work for the next few months.

Yay: Tersa found my perfume bottle before she left!

Yay: Shadowhawk has at her fingertips the power to transform the medium of television!

It's just unconscious knowledge

I made the mistake of reading the paper today. And I'm not just livid, I'm disgusted. Dan Eggen of the Washington Post reports that Dick Cheney assures us that when he talked about terrorism suspects and 'a dunk in the water to save lives' he certainly wasn't referring to waterboarding and can't understand how we could get such an impression.
What he meant, I must assume, by 'a dunk in the water' was that if we made sure that terrorism suspects were given a nice hot soapy bath then they would be far more likely to co-operate with us and share critical information. You know, all that sand in your personal places from hanging out in the desert makes you cranky.

Mister Vice President, I regret to inform you that your fucking PANTS are ON FIRE.

As is par for the course for this administration, the man has put his foot firmly in his mouth by saying what he thinks rather than repeating Talking Points, and then has denied that his foot was anywhere near his mouth and was actually on a fact-finding junket in Syria with his lymph nodes. No, wait, he says, he doesn't even *have* feet, or a mouth, in fact, and anybody who says any differently is just a cheap political hack who wants the terrorists to win the midterm election.

Thanks to today's Something Positive I have taken off the cranky pants.
