The odd part of this story is this comment from the investigating detective's supervisor: "Now people will be able to order pizza again and know that it will be delivered."

Is it wrong that in my head I heard Dan Ackroyd as Joe Friday delivering that line? (pun not intended, but left anyway. )

- Mindy, too young to think of anyone but Ackroyd as Joe Friday

Mindy, it may be wrong; but who am I to judge? I read pornographic stories. You're going to have to follow your own conscience in this.

So is everyone in Washington a lying piece of shit??

Only the ones associated with politics

New Zealand's Prime Minister is Helen Clark I think. New Zealand has a weird system at the moment, where Clark's party is in government, but doesn't have an overall majority.

I think we can officially write New Zealand off.

The Earl

Gawd, sorry! I've been tied up in course work this last few weeks and missed this.

Earl, dear, feel free to write off New Zealand, perhaps with a few less imports we will have our own civil war, with what we've got at the moment, and be done with the procrastinations of our own problems.

No I didn't say that out loud. I'm actually hiding away in my own mountain cabin and surrounded by a dozen waterfalls, writing non stop and enjoying being away from the screaming masses of a crazed population who wants to ensure there is equality amongst Maori and Pakeha so long as neither piss off the other by walking where someone has walked before.

Okay ignore me. I flatly refuse to get in amongst a political population of peoples who believe that though lots of land was lost in wars when the European came here, that they have rights, and those rights mean they should be paid for the land they've lost, or should be given back that land which is rightfully theirs.

I mean... we are talking about a country who existed with it's native people still fighting with spears and eating with their fingers 170 years ago, even though other countries (notice I'm not naming them) were using silver knives and forks and were discussing the niceties of the afternoon soiree in the Park.

Darn, I just realised, my 13 year old son still eats with his fingers when he thinks I'm not looking. Hell, he does it when I am looking too.

Anyway, I digressed. Where was I. Oh yes, by all means, write us off!

Anyhow, if our only singers are as good as those on NZ Idol at the moment, you'd be better off out of it.

Mind you, apparently over half the people who arrived at the auditions here, were turned away without opening their mouths. Guess they'll be back next year.

Ahh, but will you?

why?

I missed some of the beginning seeds of enlightment, but will someone tell me why replacing Cheney with a younger, healthier militarist neo-con (is there any other kind?) is going to help the cause of human progress?

Come on, there must be one....

Er...

Monaco?

...is fucked too...

New Zealand seems nice.

Anybody have any dirt on New Zealand politics?

Same as Monaco - just farther away.

Meanwhile, from Doonesbury, the comic strip that helped keep me sort of sane as I grew up from Nixon-voting high school kid to mid-life-crisis feminist liberal:

Hmmm looks like Trudeau has received some inside information

There is a civil war in the United States that starts in 2005. That conflict flares up and down for 10 years. In 2015, Russia launches a nuclear strike against the major cities in the United States (which is the "other side" of the civil war from my perspective), China and Europe. The United States counter attacks. The US cities are destroyed along with the AFE (American Federal Empire)...thus we (in the country) won. The European Union and China were also destroyed. Russia is now our largest trading partner and the Capitol of the US was moved to Omaha Nebraska.

That wasn't what I meant at all, Pure. I was only expressing empty satisfaction at having guessed - probably corrrectly - that Cheney would beat out "some poor bastard at the CIA" as the implicit blame-ee for the, uh, miscommunication about WMD. The invisible bad guy will go away to live on Halliburton island in the South Pacific, people will think there's been some positive change in the Bush agenda, Rudy Guilliani's name on the ticket will keep 9/ll fresh in the minds of people who might otherwise be ticked off about not having jobs and stuff, and he'll also bring an exotic non-WASP flair to the party of rich white Protestants. It's a win/win for everyone except those of us who aren't billionaires.

Just because I'm right doesn't mean I'm unrealistic.

If she slept through it, it can't have been done with much...well...flair. Maybe next time, he should say, "Wake up, sleepyhead."

No, that would be absurd. Nevermind.

Flair. Yes. Need more flair. And a pleasant little coma afterwards would be quite nice.

Additionally, I prefer to be woken with one of two things:

1) The smell of breakfast cooking.

2) Flair: down there.

"Wake up, sleepyhead." is the code phrase for FIRE! in my house.
