While you were taking a leak...

I have yet to read anything in the war logs that I didn't already know. So it comes as no surprise to me that Bo Rama is using them as an excuse to re-justify his "change of plan".

So the news is... nothing new. Which makes this bit all the more sad, if you happen to stumble upon it while being schlepped along.

Sonntag: Frühvorstellung

In case you don't have time for Chinatown.

I'm off for a lazy Sunday afternoon.

Tame, my ass!

Since the FDA approved it back in 1981, it has become a multi-billion dollar industry. What most consumers don't know is that Aspertame's approval was one of the most contested in FDA history.... but the makers say it's one of the most tested food additives ever.
And tested, and tested, and tested. If the slogan weren't already patented, they could say, "Billions served!"

My current bike chain doesn't require oiling, so my personal slogan (upper right) is at least personally outdated (the temp is current, though). As far as petroleum is concerned, and speaking of chemical compounds, it would seem there are more pressing issues than melting glaciers. But if folks don't care about their health...


Buy low, sell high!

HARTtalk

Laying it on tough-guy thick for the redneck, whiteguy, and bluedog, the Senator pontificates about we who would be Rome. I introduce to you a man who is so proud of his words in the wake of the then "recent events", he opens with them again:
"we will find Osama bin Laden, give him a fair trial as we did in the old West, and then we'll hang him."

This, to make the point that "the mission changed" and that's where we lost our way. As if all things pre-2005 were just donkey dory, money well-spent and on the moral high-ground "in that perpetually troubled land."
"We were a nation out for vengeance and right was on our side."

Class A bullshit, Donkey-style.
