she read me rickey-tickey-tavey on the bus

According to a recent round-table interview in Rolling Stone, Democratic Sen. Joseph Biden had a recent "frank exchange of views" of his own with Dick Cheney, and in the Oval Office no less. But as far as we can tell, unlike Cheney's recent outburst, Biden didn't need any four-letter words to get his point across.

Here's what the ranking Democrat on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee says he told Bush and Cheney in a recent visit: "I was in the Oval Office the other day, and the president asked me what I would do about resignations. I said, 'Look, Mr. President, would I keep Rumsfeld? Absolutely not.' And I turned to Vice President Cheney, who was there, and I said, 'Mr. Vice President, I wouldn't keep you if it weren't constitutionally required.' I turned back to the president and said, 'Mr. President, Dick Cheney and Don Rumsfeld are bright guys, really patriotic, but they've been dead wrong on every major piece of advice they've given you. That's why I'd get rid of them, Mr. President -- not just Abu Ghraib.' They said nothing. Just sat like big old bullfrogs on a log and looked at me."

He hasn't given the president a pass in the past, either: "About six months ago, the president said to me, 'Well, at least I make strong decisions, I lead.' I said, 'Mr. President, look behind you. Leaders have followers. No one's following. Nobody.'"

"Most people don't know this, but every morning, dentists pour out a little paste for their dead homies. It's a true fact."

"Buffamanti's own BMW 7 series left him stranded last month when he was driving from Pasadena to San Diego to pick up his kids in an unknown neighborhood and the car's pioneering satellite navigation system croaked. He hadn't stocked his glove box with an old-fashioned paper map (of course), so he was forced to make a series of cell-phone calls to get directions to his destination."

The judge cited a declaration by one woman that a store manager told her: "Men are here to make a career and women aren't. Retail is for housewives who just need to earn extra money."

He cited a second woman who said that when she sought a job in the hardware department, a male manager told her: "We need you in toys. You're a girl, why do you want to be in hardware?"

in addish, i'm sweet with tools. or rather, i have the capability to be. i helped ryan put the new gas tank i his vespa last night. and by helped i mean that mostly i aimed the flashlight in the dark and held some bolts & washers. but whatever. i could've done it myself, too.
mostly, it made me wish i knew more about working on cars, etc. le sigh.

i'll spare the rant about how unnatural drinking a cow's milk is, since i do love a cold glass of skim with some chocolate chip cookies, but... really. gross.

un-fucking-believable.

but thus far, it's been great.
i am now going to eat.

blah blah blah.

word.

oh for crying out loud... do we have nothing better to get upset about? i've been watching R-rated movies since I can remember (having HBO at a young age rules. no, seriously, I turned out just fine. bovs.) not to mention this story is about TEENAGERS seeing R-rated movies. like they're not having sex anyway, who cares if they see it on the big screen? these passes are not being handed out to 3rd graders. grr...

funny thing is, i'd kill for a laptop right about now...

jesus fucking christ... you know, you'd think after the whole dru sjodin thing up in minnesota/north dakota, courts across the country would realize IT'S NOT OK TO LET SEX OFFENDERS BACK ON THE STREET, because clearly, they just do it again. they are NOT rehabilitated.
i feel sick.
