  1. Lemme get this right. Plastering a happy sock is fine, but the nanosecond it touches an egg, it’s murder? How do the authorities establish the moment of conception without violating several rights of privacy?

    Sara, I noticed that you posted at 9:11. Some sort of insidious subliminal campaign to get Giuliani on the ticket?

  3. HopeNutz says at 9:42 am, August 20th, 2008

    Wow, I guess if you live in Iraq, then Syria *would* be a vacation in comparison.

  4. The Incomparable Tiny Valdez says at 9:49 am, August 20th, 2008

    Thank you to the American Apparel gods for the Unisex Pinpoint Oxford Shirt. That lucky Pierre ad was beyond the pale.

  5. Godless Liberal * says at 10:01 am, August 20th, 2008

    Servo: The authorities know when you’re going to get laid long before you know.

  6. Godless Liberal *:
    Oh, right. The warrantless wiretapping.

    irisheyes:

    Sarah is not guilty of succumbing to a pre-9:11 mentality, or even a post-9:11 mentality. Rather, she hits 9:11 right on the nail. In that way, she’s waaaay better than Giuliani.

    At last! An American Apparel ad I can ignore!

    (What’s their thing with purple?)

    “It’s just like before,” said a female traveler to her friend. “Nothing has changed from the Saddam era until now.”

    Hey — things are as good as they were under Saddam! That means we win!

  10. ElectoralGradStudent says at 11:22 am, August 20th, 2008

    SayItWithWookies: More to the point, it means we can leave!

  11. Lionel Hutz Esq. says at 12:54 pm, August 20th, 2008

    Come on, you are coming back from Montreal. You might as well be going to France and helping the enemy! If Bill O’Reilly had his way, you would be shot on sight.
