What we all should know

This whole $700B bailout thing is insanely complicated.  I spent a good chunk of this weekend reading all I could and  . . . well, I think it sums up with the old punch line "and not even a kiss."

What everyone does need to know, and should seriously think about, is the proposed legislation that Bush, Paulson, Bernananananke* want. I mean this passage:

"Decisions by the Secretary pursuant to the authority of this Act are non-reviewable and committed to agency discretion, and may not be reviewed by any court of law or any administrative agency."

This is huge.  Never thought I'd end up siding with all those Republican senators.

*Once I started mis-spelling it, I decided it seems better this way.

Beyond Me

Went and saw Zoe and Vincent Sunday afternoon.  The V-man and I were having a discussion about naps/napping and what not.  He was explaining that his bed was next to and above Zoe's trundle bed.

Me:  So, you like your bed
Vincent:  I like my bed.
Me:  Then how come you roll over into Zoe's bed when you're sleeping?
Vincent:   . . . I'm complicated.

Northern Exposure

MSU v. Indiana State University NCAA Championship Game
Lush Life (Jeff Goldblum, Forrest Whitaker)

Since we're getting no actual campaign coverage about real issues since the conventions, let's go with satirical perspective.

Beautiful Boy

This little marvel started out as less than teaspoon of assorted protein chains and DNA.  Now he's this bright light I never knew was missing in my life.  Happy third Birthday little man!

TV Party Tonight

I totally get the Sarah Palin choice: she's a star. Smart, attractive, confidant . . . even though I think she's a religious whack job and has no qualms stretching the truth as long as it makes for a good sound bite . . . she's riveting and I look forward to her career as a Fox talking head. The Daily Show has really just been outstanding on this, especially Samantha Bee.  Watch
