I saw a show on HBO about how thoroughbreds that have stopped winning big purses get sold for Mexican slaughter straight from the track for like 300 bucks. It's cold as a motherfucker.

Eat. The. Rich.

I wrote a proposal for hubby (woodworking) and his dad (commercial stuff) for a booth at a local festival. We had planned on it being mostly dad's stuff, and hubby would have less than half the booth. At the last minute, I threw in a line about my firestarters thinking I could put a few out if I felt like it. They called today and basically barred 90% of dad's commercial stuff, but were delighted at the woodworking and firestarters.

So now, I can't make just a few. I have to make a whole shitload.

Crack is not far off the mark.

I only eat the Girl Scout cookies as a civic duty, to support the Girl Scouts. You guys are all a bunch of unprincipled savages.

Oh, also here is an article on a topic that comes up here with disturbing frequency:

I still prefer OMG BORING! and then hanging up/logging out/walking away for most situations.

That's what I'm telling myself to make me feel like such a not-monster. It may even curb the subtle weeping as I dust the crumbs off my shirt.

Repeatedly bring up how you don't need those medications. Act like you've suddenly heard something, then mutter, 'no no.' Twitch.

It's so cute when BroMan talks about Science.

The recent Irish elections saw the devastation of the former government. The country's major party has been booted down to third, whilst the Green party (which, in polls, saw their level of support at a percentage which was within the poll's margin of error, theoretically they could have had 0% support) saw itself completely removed from the Dail, losing every seat they had.

The replacements, mainly Fine Gael and Labour have started showing up for work. This TD (MP) for FG was nice enough to have banners with her face and name all over the car, for the cameras as she demonstrated her driving skills at the government buildings...



NTM

unless it is decaf, then we have a better than even chance

Looks like it's pretty weak coffee, thank the gawds.

Console yourself with the fact that you're not picking the crumbs off to eat them.

I am going to the wildlife photographer of the year exhibition in Oxford on Saturday.

[JoeP]

Let us know if there are any photos of butterflies.

'Shopped of course.

[wildernesse]

LOL, yesterday I thought I was listening to BBC World Service on the car radio, but it turned out it was Al Jazeera English. (Houston has a Pacifica station for some unknown reason.)

[Watser?]

Ohnoes

You have been unknowingly enabling the terrists!!

NEW YORK—In an effort to provide viewers with an authentic, first-person account of conditions on the ground in Libya, CNN news anchor Kyra Phillips conducted an exclusive, one-on-one interview Tuesday with the Al Jazeera news anchor who interviewed leaders of the uprising. "What can you tell us about what they told you about what the situation is like for them right now?" asked Phillips, going directly to the source of the Arab news network's extensive on-air discussions with key figures in the rebellion. "'This fight for freedom has come at a great cost to you,' is what I imagine you said to them, correct?"

I hate you.

I would love to see it.

I was going to make a submission to the Veolia Environnement Wildlife Photographer of the Year competition, but the images I wanted to send are over 3 years old.

Oh well... I guess I need to get off my ass and do some more wildlife photography. Sigh.

For those who are interested... Here is the information for entering the competition.
