I was just updating some reminders, and it occurs to me that I only have to pay the babysitter 68 more times before my youngest starts kindergarten. At $200 per time.
“hey, I could get a nice set of power tools for that much” (anybody remember the movie?)

“Q. Can the president spy on me without a warrant?
A. The president would never, ever spy on you, unless you’re talking to a terrorist.
Q. That sounds reasonable!
A. Or an associate of a terrorist or a suspected associate of a terrorist or a possible suspected relative of a member of an affiliate of a terrorist or someone with a name that’s spelled like a terrorist’s or someone who’s been mistakenly identified as a terrorist by an NSA algorithm.
Q. That sounds like I should look into switching to smoke signals.
A. Well if you want, the president can stop the illegal wiretapping just for you.
Q. Really? Well thanks, that’d be great!
A. And then the terrorists can come and eat you.
Q. Wait! What?
A. Cause without the wiretaps there’s nothin to stop the terrorists from eatin you, yknow. The terrorists and their army of bees.
Q. Oh no! I’m allergic to terrorists AND bees!”
Much, much more at the link. Thanks to Boing Boing for the heads up.
Equal time and all that.

"General Motors Corp. posted a fourth-quarter net loss of $4.8 billion on Thursday, much worse than Wall Street had expected, amid high costs, shrinking market share and sluggish sales of sport utility vehicles.
It was the fifth straight quarterly loss for the world’s largest automaker and brought its losses for all of 2005 to $8.6 billion.
"The numbers are much worse than I thought they would be, especially given how Ford beat the estimates earlier this week," Argus Research analyst Kevin Tynan said."
C’mon people, we obviously are being a bit selfish and not buying enough Hummers and Caddilac Escalades. So what if gas is over $2 a gallon (and will never drop below that again)? I don’t care if your kids want clothes and food, what this country needs is MORE HUMMERS!
