Barbie is skanky.

Or Canary.

Boy survives plane crash, sole survivor, and gains magical powers. Shakes hands with doctor, then predicts his death. Sees dead people.

Oil spill? It cracked me up that the news was reporting the "finger pointing" of the execs related to the oil spill. I'm thinking...it really is the problem of the safety valve - at first the criticism was "Why only one? Why not more safety devices?" This is like asking me, if my brakes fail in my car, why I didn't have 2 independent brake systems operating in my car. Then again, airplanes have redundant systems due to the consequences of failure - perhaps an oil spew is a consequence to demand redundant systems. As of today, they're finding many performance problems with the operation of the well...so it's actually not clear to me where fault lies. Still, congressmen parading in front of the cameras to look like the good guys, attacking bad guys, don't interest me.

Are the republicans taking any heat for their huge push to get offshore drilling after this mess? Is Obama taking heat for his reversal on this issue shortly before this disaster?

Poly predictable! Ok, passive aggressive note:
Another reason I don't dig facebook is usually when you lose touch with someone...that's ok. I had a few people look me up on facebook, but most were like:
"Hey, I remember you were really hot. Still fit? I am too, and me and my partner like to..."
"I know it's been a long time and we didn't know each other _that_ well, but I do remember you were very liberal and open about things, non-judgmental. Well, my husband and I have gotten really adventurous and thought a fun next step might be..."

So, true to what I say, I just noticed on facebook that my adventurous friend, the married one with 2 kids, is now single. No idea when this occurred, but there you go.
