The good.
The yikes (especially this bit: “American officials have known about this vulnerability for years, but they didn’t think enemies would know how to take advantage of it… Now the United States is getting ready to spend as much as $4.5 billion to buy new-generation drones that have the same vulnerability.” We probably have TEENAGERS who can take advantage of it. Don’t you watch movies?!!)
The friggin finally.
Watching the Health Care debate. The main attraction: Rep. Sessions is yelling “I object” “I object” “I object” unremittingly, like a nerdy Tourrettes patient, while everyone tries to make their little statements.
Nothing comes to mind more than two kids in a backseat of a car playing the “I’m not touching you” patience-testing game. Except multiplied by a few hundred and played by adults on C-SPAN.
I’m frankly amazed that no one has been slapped yet.
Kinda crazy / ridiculous that they can’t get rid of this guy with a gun. I’m sure they will eventually.
I do confess to being mildly amused by the newscaster’s rather awkward phrasing “there are concerns about every president’s safety, but certainly this historic president, the 44th president of the united states” — because the number 44 is what makes his presidency historic, clearly. Erm.
I guess maybe they get in trouble from the NRA if they imply gun-toting nutjobs are often racist gun-toting nutjobs?
Here’s another bracket you can fill out! This one is actually called “Bracket of Evil“, and there’s something quite soothing about it…
I’m a little disappointed that Rush and Fox can’t both make it to the final four . . . and kind of surprised that Cheney isn’t in there. Otherwise, lovely.
(I should mention that I found it here)
Yesterday, Michelle Obama volunteered at Miriam’s Kitchen. That’s the same place I go when I wake up at 4:30 in the morning with a sudden urge to fix breakfast for the hungry & homeless!
Michelle at Miriams
(I borrowed the picture from here)
I think that must be a secret service guy behind her — he doesn’t look like any of the guys I’m used to seeing in the kitchen. Very exciting!
So . . . it’s really funny . . . but I also kept replaying it and dancing at my desk. I’m going to have “stimulate this” stuck in my head for days.
