Even though this is an interesting idea, I don't know if Hillary would go for it. Even though, as Cheney has proven, a VP can be more influential than the president himself, she wants it all. Furthermore, I don't think Hillary would run for anything, VP or otherwise, unless she knew she could win. And finally, Hillary is just not the type to get out of the way of the charging bull - if she were to do that, it would only be momentary so she could get behind the bull and fuck it in the ass with her massive schlong.
Um, yeah... No. We were told preemption was needed because of an imminent threat, not a looming threat. We were told that there were tons of weapons ready to go in 45 minutes, not explorations into future capabilities. Preemption was supposedly justified because there was no longer any time remaining before we were going to be totally fucked.
Again, all the backpedaling would be funny if it weren't so goddamn infuriating.
Preemption's only hope for justification was that Saddam had already done bad things, i.e. developed and harbored illegal weapons. It turned out that he had no such weapons. Oh, but preemption can be justified based on what we think he might want to do. Ignoring that we were already wrong once in guessing what Saddam was thinking and up to, this is still dangerous thinking. It turns into this ugly game of guilty until proven innocent. I keep hearing all this bullshit talk about America's credibility, but how can we have any if we don't accord people around the world the same treatment as we would give ourselves in our own justice system?
I know, Saddam was a crazy lunatic madman. I know. That's why we found him cowering in a hole, guns decidedly not ablaze. We thought we were so right about everything, and it turns out that we managed to fuck just about everything up.

I just love how Lieberman and Kucinich are all but footnotes in this quick rundown of today's caucuses and primaries.
Super.
It's nearly 2 AM right now. I'll see where this is at later in the day, because I have no idea if the tests they're running for ricin are anywhere near as accurate as the ones they've been running for suspected chemical finds in Iraq.

With all due respect to Groundhog Day, which was a good movie
If you're making a trip of more than seven feet to Punxsutawney to watch a rodent, especially if you were inspired by Groundhog Day... You probably need to be shot.
Hey, I have an idea. Why don't we ask the real meteorologists instead? Oh yeah, because they don't know a fucking thing, either. That should go a long way towards my goal of having sex with a weather girl (because at this point, I have so many bitches to choose from that I can pick whatever profession suits my fancy; also, they love being called "weather girl"). I'll even go for the one on the Weather Channel who's always pregnant, but she's already stopped returning my calls.
I don't know why, but at one point this fetish for weather girls just kinda started when I noticed that a statistically alarming number of them were hot. Wait, "noticed a bunch were hot" sounds suspiciously like a reason for the fetish starting. Okay, it was only like three, but when your life is the sausage fest that mine has become, three is astronomically high. It was mainly two on the Weather Channel, Sharon (the preggo) and some other blonde, and locally we have Kathy Sabine on 9News. Maybe it's now past time with Kathy, but, nah. I'd still do Kathy Sabine.

"Oh my god, I would fuck her on top of my girlfriend."

Sister love... Yeah!
Hey, you'd be doing drugs too if your sisters were that hot but you couldn't do anything about it.
Ummmm... Maybe I shouldn't have said that out loud.

Coincidentally, I also have good taste in everything, because I'm not one of those fucking guys
I heard yet another bullshit anti-drug commercial today. This time, it's urging parents to confront their druggie kids, taking "action: the anti-drug."
Yes, Meatwad! With action!
Jesus fucking Christ, how many "anti-drugs" can there be? As far as I know by using, oh, logic, I'm pretty sure there can be only one. There's matter and anti-matter. There's X and anti-X. There's "20-something American male" and "good taste." Unless of course if parents, responsibility, and now action are all one and the same, this ad campaign is not only bullshit but completely illogical. But yeah, go looking for logic with people who think they can defeat drugs.
You know what the anti-drug is? Not taking drugs. Seems to have worked pretty well for me.

Since a trip to Anime Central is on the table, I was perusing their site today. On the registration form, there's a section for ordering con t-shirts. There are the expected sizes - you know; S, M, L, XL. Then there's XXL. And XXXL. And XXXXXL. What exactly is this saying about anime fans? Either a bunch of them are huge fatasses, enough that there's a demand for 5XL, or they're a bunch of cheap bastards who will buy one t-shirt to be simultaneously shared by five people. Since I know just how costly an anime habit can be, even for the fiscally responsible (as another t-shirt says, drugs would be cheaper), it must be the former.
I'm still in kind of an anime backlash mode. I'm not really watching anything, and I'm not buying anything. There are a couple of series that have some kind of priority, but I just don't care all that much right now. It's not so much that I'm back in the days where I thought anime was stupid, and therefore lashing out against that particular form of entertainment. It's more of a lashing out against anime fans. I've made no secret as to how big of a fucking nerd I am. Furthermore, I'm not ashamed of being a nerd. I'm just not one of those people.
This, again, sounds hypocritical. But as I said a couple of posts back, I don't wanna fucking talk about that, so get off it already. It also smacks of bullshit elitist posturing, but it's not like you weren't warned about that the moment you got to this site.
I think the backlash started when I realized that pretty much every time I got together with friends, we wouldn't even watch much anime. We'd spend all our time talking about shit we'd bought and crap we were going to buy. Great. I hate myself. I'm the biggest perpetrator of this and, yeah, this is pretty much what I've done for 24 years. So yeah, in oh so many ways, I'm one of those people.
I'm working on not being such a prick, but I don't think there's any escaping being "one of them." After all, I'm talking about crossing state lines to go to a fucking anime con. No escaping that stigma, even if, as ETP pointed out, we're pretty much going there just to shop. See? I am so much better than those people.

Got a hit today from halliburton.com. At first I was like, oh, shit. Clearly, they were here since I exposed the little known fact that Dick Cheney used to be their CEO and concerns had arisen over potential favortism being shown to the company as a result.
As it turns out, Halliburton got here via a Google search for Melissa Panarello. It's always nice to see people busy at work. Like me. At least I'm not looking for stroke material, though. I can wait five hours. Or at least until the car ride home.

Hey, look! An article on WMD. Because we haven't bitched about that today.
How the hell did everyone fuck this up? How is it that everyone had bad intelligence? It's probably not because of any sort of political pressure.
At first glance, it may seem hypocritical of me to be criticizing the administration for thinking there were banned weapons in Iraq only to find out that there were none when, in fact, I believed the exact same thing. Since hypocrisy is nothing new for me, we can just say "fuck that" to that line of discussion, and instead rationalize it away. Yes, I even agreed with the administration on the existence of WMD (but not theimminent growing threat), only to be proven wrong. But I'm not in fucking charge of anything. Which, let's face it, is probably best for everyone.

Now an inquiry may be on the table over in Britain. Do you think Tony Blair can even take a crap without first calling up George Bush to see if it's okay?
Dude, I so totally want a position whose name can be abbreviated NMOS. Then I can go up against my arch nemesis, PMOS, and we can fucking throw. Down.

Unlike the war issues, this really is a joke, on all sides.
It is so fucking sad that people are all up in arms over this bullshit. People actually called in to CBS to complain about the show. How bankrupt is your life if you're calling TV stations over an exposed breast? A dirty, filthy titty. Meanwhile, as these parents are on the phone their kids are getting into the drain cleaner.
Explain to me where the big fucking deal is, even if kids are watching. Is one partial boob going to suddenly destroy them? For any kids who were breast fed, they've already seen breasts. Granted, mom didn't usually unbutton her blouse and then pop off a pastie, but still. Give me a fucking break. Why don't we just start keeping women off of TV altogether since they have cooties? Grow up, America.
A couple of notes for those involved in making this happen:
Michael Powell: shut the fuck up. I'd come and yell at you, but you're so far up on the moral high ground that I can't quite reach you.
"Wardrobe malfunction." He must have been up all night thinking that one up.
Bush didn't see it because he fell asleep. That is so good, on so many levels, in so many ways. At least he wasn't "choking on a pretzel" or whatever.
This country is pathetic. The fact that this is such a big deal... Now that's deplorable.

- MTV: Don't give us this bullshit that it wasn't planned. I mean, you're fucking MTV, the king of soft, mainstream porn that no one wants to see anyway.
- CBS: That's what you get for letting MTV be involved in anything.

Our credibility is pretty much shot at this point.
So, Gee Dubya is ordering an investigation. It'll be a year or more before we hear anything, so just in case something damaging to the administration comes up, it'll be well past election time.
I like how TB is looking to see "where we stand." Shouldn't we have checked out where we're at before getting involved in a fucking war? Maybe we should have checked where we're at after 9/11. Sounds reasonable. But of course, the administration has been doing lots to make us all safer. Christ, I would call all of this a joke if it weren't so bloody serious.

Here's a front-page question currently on Slashdot:
"My longtime girlfriend recently had to move to complete her studies at a University, which is nowhere near where I live. Talking on the phone is quickly becoming old, as I'm a typical guy and hate being on the phone longer than 3 minutes, but I try. So I was thinking - I like games, she likes to talk, why not combine the two? So are there any online games suggested for couples using a headset? I can't see Counter-Strike or Rainbow Six working, but I was thinking maybe DDR Ultramix on Xbox Live? How about PC titles with headset support? Any suggestions?"
Yeah, I have a suggestion - break up.
