KR Washington Bureau | 10/31/2005 | Bush nominates Samuel Alito for Supreme Court

KR Washington Bureau | 10/31/2005 | Bush nominates Samuel Alito for Supreme Court: "Bush stressed Alito’s vast judicial experience when announcing his choice."

Nice... they didn't like Miers' lack of experience, go find the most experienced conservative you can and throw him at 'em. Good strategy. If not belated.

Nice quote

That midnight, as he nervously checked out of his hotel, Plucky paused to share a short tequila with the desk clerk. He gave the mexican a true account of the day's adventure. "You are preety lucky, señor," the clerk confided. "Not lucky," said Plucky. "Plucky."

Hot Coffee mod - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: "Some commentators have anticipated a product recall of San Andreas once the 'clean' version is available, although given the high value of the 'uncensored' versions, it is doubtful that many gamers will return their copies voluntarily."

Wikipedia is awesome. I know this is old news, but I still tihnk it's funny that they have an article about it- complete with an external link to the mod in question! Which I just downloaded.

Anybody?

Anybody have a MIG welder handy? I seem to need to weld my desk chair back together. Every time I lean back I come closer to the floor behind me. I just need to lay a small bead about 3 inches around the main support thing. Also, a wire wheel would be handy. I suppose I could do it with a torch or a stick but I'm pretty lazy. And I have neither of these things.

Why does my family live on an island? This wouldn't be an issue...

melting poop

"In point of fact, America has always been multicultural, but until fairly recently the nation was a symbolic pot in which various peoples were metaphorically melted, blending into one rich alloy; and it was that fusion of talents, philosophers, attributes, and inclinations--renewable and adaptable--that gave the U.S. its zip and its zest. Nowadays, however, it seems few immigrants are inclined to assimilate. They bring their native cultures with them, virtually intact, and cling to them, refusing even to learn to speak English and getting very angry when the social institutions of their adopted land fail to address them in their indigenous tongues. Which keeps them out of the work force, naturally, and in a state of victimization; a selfish, self-pitying, self-perpetuating state insidiously exploited by leftists for their own political ends. Thus, instead of a strong, nutritious broth, pungent with the aromatic spices of labor and success, America has become a plop of separate little lumps of undigested stuff. Kind of like--vomit. Good-bye, melting pot, hello, chamber pot."
