Well where else would 700 billion dollars come from? 7,000,000,000. <--- that is a lot of freaking money. That'd be a LOT of Saturday morning carwashes, Senators and Congressmen. Wait.. you wanted the taxpayers to foot it? Oh, you!!!
What did Dr. Paul have to say about the rejection of the Bailout? Holla! (perhaps a little more dignified than that in his wise words...)

Fractured thoughts.
- I need more Bruce Hornsby and the Range in my life.
- I think manna tasted like honey mustard.
- Last night I discovered that singing Mariah-Carey-style-at-the-top-of-your-lungs in the shower must result in hyperpoxia because MAN I was awake and could think clearly after that. DESPITE the fact that it was midnight and for the 5th night in a row I was going late on 5 or less hours of sleep. See, these sentences make very little sense. I bet if I sang "Vision of Love" like I did last night, I could think clearly again... but I won't scare these kids out of lab. My conclusion:
"Don't worry that it's not good enough for anyone else to hear.
Just sing, sing a song."
I love the smell of being right in the morning.
Go here, and take this poll (scroll down to lower left):
Who do you think will come out of this economic crisis looking smartest?
Ben Bernanke, the Federal Reserve chairman
Henry Paulson, the Secretary of the Treasury
Warren Buffett, head of Berkshire Hathaway
Ron Paul, Texas Congressman and presidential candidate
Bill Gross, PIMCO chief investment officer
... do I need to tell you who is walloping in that poll????
:-)

The best of Sophie.
A compilation I made of my favorite girl. My personal favorite is when the pizza and fork sing a song together. Love that kid.

Clearly the GOP has known this for quite some time.
"I'm fightin' the axis of evil, ya'll" (imagine Bush's voice. Actually, imagine Frank Caliendo doing Bush's voice - that's funnier!)
Conservatives Scare More Easily Than Liberals
And no, I'm not a liberal. I just like to stand on the sidelines and make fun of the rest of you.
Here's some Frank Caliendo for your Monday.

Not a prophet, just a man who "gets it."
Ron Paul: This Bailout Won't Be the Last
"What we've been doing now—especially since 1971—is preventing the real liquidation of the malinvestment and the excess of debt . . . If this process continues, we're going to own General Motors and Ford, then we will have to own the airlines. We are socializing our country without even a vote by the Congress. It's a horrible situation."

Have you ever seen "Thank You for Smoking?"
If not, it's worth a slot in your Netflix queue. It's a black comedy about the tobacco industry and their puppetmastery. Aaron Eckhart is funny and Katie Holmes isn't as forgettable as she normally is.
Anyway, I was telling Vania yesterday about those new "HFCS is your friend!" ads and found one on You Tube. Notice at the end of the commercial from whence the information can be found. Corn. Well that carries no bias.
"No artificial ingredients." Cause corn comes out of the ground like that.. with a half-dozen added enzymes to make it turn to sugar. These days unless you specifically add turpentine to a food, it's "all natural." As in, "it came from the earth." Dance, little puppet consumers, dance!
Hey, if you're really bored go to thetruth.com and read the FACTory section. Heavens to Murgatroid.

Senate Bill 1738
Those of you who are of a sensitive nature (Vania, Lisa specifically), don't read the details. Suffice it to say Oprah did a very thorough episode regarding pedophilia and child predation. Please visit this link, read about the Bill and contact your Senators. Protect Our Children Act
Here's the episode link.
Or, just cut and paste the following template into a Word document, sign your name and mail it off.
Dear Senator:I know that you believe, like I do, that we must do everything possible to protect children from sexual predators. That is why I am asking for your help.Last year alone, U.S. law enforcement identified over 300,000 criminals who were trafficking in movies and pictures of young children being raped and tortured. Experts say that one in every three of these criminals has local child victims. Child pornography trafficking over the Internet has given us a trail of evidence that leads straight to their doorsteps, but the vast majority of these children will never be rescued because investigators are overwhelmed, outnumbered and underfunded.As your constituent, I urge you to do everything in your power to pass the PROTECT Our Children Act (S. 1738, Biden-Hatch). This bipartisan legislation passed the House 415-2, but it is now the victim of petty partisan politics.Now that we know where these children are and how to protect them, there is no excuse for the Senate to fail to take action this session.

Ya'll.
Have to tell you what a good friend Lisa is. I was sick as poo last weekend and she not only brought me a week's supply of "Double Noodle" soup but went to 4 different... uh, generic "one stop shopping" stores... searching for the Pringles I had told her about.
Lisa, if you were a man, we'd be married with 14 dogs. Love you girl!

A reminder for Megan.
This post shall serve as a reminder for me to find the clips from tonight's SNL with the delicious and nutritious Michael Phelps so that you all may see the skit they did about home schoolers.
I was crying; best skit in a long time. I guess it's funniest if you've been a home schooler and witnessed the sheer absurdity that some parents teach their children. I could tell you some stories... yee haw. Suffice it to say... the skit hits it dead on!

The self-fulfilling prophecy of morons.
Remember in "Men in Black" when Tommy Lee Jones said, "A person is smart. People are dumb, panicky dangerous animals and you know it."
This is no more elegantly evidenced by what happens when a hurricane puts the Gulf in its path. "People" think hey - what if we run out of gas for a while... better go FILL UP RIGHT NOW AND USE UP THE AVAILABLE GAS SUPPLY.
You know those big trucks you see with the silver cylinder? Well they carry gas to gas stations on a schedule. And if they're not scheduled to come back until Monday... and you've bought all the gas in a panic... congratulations. You have made the gas supply run out.

Of this you can be sure.
If I post three times in one day, I'm avoiding something. In this case, I'm avoiding 7 chapters, 3 research articles and going over the stuff in my WAIS-III kit (for my first test admin)... and that's just for one class and that is actually kind of a light week. Tomorrow I'll figure out how to avoid reading the 12 research articles I have due for Behavior Disorders.
Irony: responding to learning about Behavior Disorders... with a behavior disorder. Well avoidant behavior itself isn't a disorder.. but it's not productive either. Either way, it sure as sunshine won't breeze me through school.
But speaking of ADD... enjoy the following video.

HWJD?
How Would Jesus Drive?
Alright, all of you hypocritical, phony Jesus-fish touting, maniacally-driving Tartuffes out there...
I got a few words for you. If you are so brash to brandish a (cliche) "symbol of God's love" on your vehicle, it would behoove you NOT to:
1. Cut other drivers off
2. Flip them the bird
3. Weave in and out of traffic at 80 miles an hour while on your cell phone
4. Drive so close to my bumper that I can see your pores in my rear view mirror
HWJD? Let me guess:
1. Jesus would wave after waiting patiently for you to let him in! He would acknowledge your courteous gesture! And perhaps put a blessing upon you!
2. Jesus would not ride the lane that is running out, just so he could swerve in front of a semi at the last possible open 5 inches of lane.
3. Jesus would not park his car in a busy parking lot diagonally as to avoid a scratch, taking up two parking spaces in the process.
4. Jesus WOULD USE HIS TURN SIGNAL!
(No Lisa, this post wasn't meant as a dig for you. I know you avoid driving the Jesus-Mobile for this very reason.)

Vending machine 2, Megan 1!!!!!
This time it was for a Dew. Maybe that's what swung things in my favor.
Had $1.25 in quarters this time, put 4 in but kept spitting the 5th one back at me. So I pressed the buttons and sure enough it read, "Sold Out." Okay. So I hit the refund button and out came 3 quarters.
"NOOOoooooooooo!!!!" I exclaimed, determined to avoid another Friday incident. So I feverishly hit the refund button and swept around the change return opening with my finger... until it loosened up not just one, but two quarters.
Net gain: $.25. Take THAT, Vending machine!!
Behold the power of Dew.
In case you're NOT keeping score as religiously as I am...
that's
Vending machine $.25
Megan $-.25 (up from $-.50)
Just you wait, Vending machine. We've got a looong road to travel together and I will reclaim what's mine!!

Well, what else is there to do in Alaska?
It's dark for 6 months! Is this not the most perfectly horrific time for something like that to happen? Wonder if the McCain camp knew about this beforehand... yikes. Glad I'm not invested in that Republican vote... (not that I'm invested in the the D one either...).
