Netscape has a cute little article about Mary Lynn Rajskub (Chloe)

Speaking of 24, what about that episode last night?

I'm bummed I missed Bush's press conference earlier today, but they just showed a snippet of it where he flipped that old bat Helen Thomas the bird.

Well not literally (although that could have been pretty funny), but verbally. He had to tell her about five times to stop talking so he could answer her question: "Why did you really want war?" Dumbass.

The Island

Dude, this movie is so awesome! Why did I never see it before this??

In other news... my vacation is kinda-sorta over as the next three days will be partly or mostly taken up with seminars at my school. Tomorrow I have to be there from 8:30-3:00, which means I'll have to leave the house not too long after 7:00. Yech. On the upside, this thingy is supposed to give us information about getting a job, which is very good as I have - dramatic music, please - my first real job interview on the 30th! Eek!

That reminds me, I need to print out a copy of my resume before I go to bed. Which is going to be soon. Because leaving at 7:00... ew.

Seriously, though. Cool movie. Kind of Matrix mixed with Minority Report mixed with I, Robot, mixed with Logan's Run, mixed with Brave New World, mixed with The Sixth Day -- just a little, though, not the stupid parts. And lots of Ewan. Very nice.

Bush Declares War on Helen Thomas

I am going to bed shortly, but I had to post this as a follow-up to this post:

The Shrub was handed a golden opportunity this morning to level with the American People about his real reasons for attacking Iraq, reasons that Helen Thomas would be more than happy to explain to him if he’d justopen his ears and listen. Instead, he used the solemn third anniversary of his illegal and immoral quagmire to exude an unrealistic confidence in our military and its mission, while insulting a beloved American icon in the process.

Helen Thomas,the Great Dane of the Washington press corps, has been the voice of honest journalism for over 175 years, and a thorn in side of both Batman and Commissioner Gordon. Her tough, take-no-prisoners style ofquestioning has often been mistaken for thinly disguised partisan attacks with question marks at the end of them, but she has inspired generations of progressive journalists with her dauntless courage in the face of a fascist administration, and the throes of a crippling mental illness. Since she was diagnosed with severe senile dementia in 1971, she has been unafraid to broach the questions more rational and sane reporters wouldn’t dare to. It’s a miracle she can even remember who she is, let alone find her way to the White House for one of Bush’s Lie Sessions, and she deserves his respect. If the Shrub won’t confess his crimes against humanity, bring our troops home from Iraq, legalize marijuana and step down for the good of America, then he should at least do it for her.

From Blame Bush!
