Enough said. Putin probably uses HGH to keep that ripped look... Of course, given the fact that the air quality in Bejing right now is just wonderful -- only barely toxic as opposed to being semi-solid -- testing positive might be a survival technique for a sprinter or other track athlete.
NEW YORK (AP) -- An Italian businessman who once dated actress
Anne Hathaway was arrested Tuesday on charges he posed as a
representative of the Vatican to fleece wealthy investors in a real
estate company that sought to buy and redevelop Roman Catholic Church
property.
The whole dating a woman probably should have warned them...
Well, I read it in the paper and I see it on the television
Ever'body's worryin' 'bout a World War III.
I am just a single boy, unemployed and ever'thin'
Somebody'd better stop and worry 'bout me.
Cho: Can't you just see me now?
"Chin up! Chest out!
Hut two three four" all day through.
Ever'body seems to be worryin' 'bout somethin' 'nother
Who's gonna worry 'bout a private John Q?
Sometimes I get downhearted and I try hard not to think about it's
All that I can do to keep from lettin' it get me down.
But I'll stand proud while ever'body else will be a-
Runnin' helter-skelter for a shelter underground.
When I'se a little boy I used to sit an dream of trav'lin'
Visit lots of foreign countries on a sight-seein' tour;
The way it looks now, I can stop savin' money
Maybe go free, sponsored by a third World War.
Keith Obermann needs to get a life. Seriously, Countdown was better when it focused at least half it's energies on silly stuff; I am supposedly taking a couple of days off for no reason connected to anything except that I'm starting to feel the evil circulating in my veins and figure that a really well timed explosion could result in a fiery end to it all. Might not be so bad, but I have this morbid curiosity about what happens next. So, I spend two hours in a meeting about Six Sigma training and contracting, and I spend three hours responding to crises through cell phone and email. I then go drop off a prescription at the Crossroads of Opportunity's newest and best pharmacy and they go into a panic. I'm thinking I need to get the oil changed and I head off to Walmart's Rapid Lube. In small cities, you have limited choices, and I didn't know of anyone I'd fired or refused to hire currently working at Walmart. And, they do drug test, as opposed to offering to share which seems to be the norm around here. I get the fuel injector cleaning, and la-di-da, they break a plastic nipple. They order a new one, they plan on having me bring it back as soon as they get it from the Dealer, but they don't goddamn tell me. They then have an idiot check me out who comes from a long line of first cousins by way of his sister-mother. This is after spending two hours waiting...
So, I get home. I read more email about things that I am supposedly getting away from. I then turn on Countdown and listen to Keith go menopausal about the fact that some "contract employees" decided to look at Batboy's passport files. The gang who are normally fairly well centered act like Savaronola discovering heresy in the sanctuary because they didn't tell Batboy sooner. Visions of Watergate and the Clinton passport debacle -- he went to Moscow when he was a Rhodes Scholar and was obviously recruited by the KGB/GRU/Smersh/Red Army/Cyborg-Commie-Dope-Smokers-Sex-Ring to be a fellow traveler, as was proved by Ken Starr in Weisswassertor, Das Sequelle! -- dance across the screen.
Ok, here's the problem. "Contract workers..." Condi Rice is not in on this one or the cover-up. They have perma-temps working in state doing this. The reason being that if they step out of line, unlike with Foreign Service types, they can just tell the contractor to get rid of them. This frees us from the threat of having to pay salary and benefits to the next Alger Hess whilst he awaits trial and conviction. However, I'm betting that given the population of DC, this was probably some kids from Georgetown or GWU working at scut work to pay the bills and saying,"Hhey dude, I just found Lindsay Lohan's passport file, and her picture is sooooo hot."" Dude, how about Obama."" Oh, yeah, he's so hot!" Dude, he was in Djakarta in 1972 -- "Dude, where's Djakarta?" At least they're not interns...
This is not a sign of the end of civil liberties and if the worst thing the Republicans or Clintonicans do to Batboy is hack into his travel file, he's getting a pass. This is a sign of the cult of incompetence that runs the country. You know, bureaucrats tend to follow the rules 
-- that's what infuriates us all with them, admit it. They're square pegs in square holes with square doilies covering the holes with square vases filled with square flowers. Fucking bastards, they like rules. Kill them all and replace them with...people who don't know, understand or remember the rules. So, this one speaks to the cult of incompetence, not the vast right wing conspiracy.
Keith probably figured he had a lousy show and this could turn into Army v. McCarthy. Instead, it bears a startling resemblance to a Britney-Paris chihuahua fight, only with more underwear and less dignity. The gone to soon anarcho-Defeatist poet Roger Miller put it well in his sonnet shown below. I would have linked a video, but they missed this one...
Take a little bitty town
Elect a mayor of that little bitty town
A square little man to make it go round
Squares make the world go round
Pick out a state
Elect a governor of the state
A square little man to make it go round
Squares make the world go round
Hey! squares make the world go round
Sounds profane, sounds profound
But government things can't be made through
Hipsters wearing rope soled shoes
Take the whole world
What does it take to make the whole world whirl
What does it take to make the whole world whirl
Squares make the world go round
Hey! squares make the world go round
Sounds profane, sounds profound
But government things can't be made through
Hipsters wearing rope soled shoes
Take the whole world
What does it take to make the whole world whirl
What does it take to make the whole world whirl
Squares make the world go round
What does it take to make the whole world whirl
Squares make the world go round
