cleolindaNot much going on today, except that I'm left wondering what Birmingham ever did to Simon Cowell. Dear American Idol: Don't complain that the "talent pool has dried up in Birmingham" and then show a cursory montage of people being let through to Hollywood so you have more time to devote to the fifty-year-old woman who showed up in yellow feathers.
Also, for some reason I've been easily irritated and cranky--bordering on mischievously cranky, for some reason--so I'm going to lie down and read. Something. Anything. I came about as close to flaming someone as I ever have today, and it wasn't even over anything interesting.

Specter: Bush not sole 'decision-maker.' "A Senate Republican on Tuesday directly challenged President Bush's declaration that 'I am the decision-maker' on issues of war....The question of whether to use its power over the government's purse strings to force an end to the war in Iraq, and under what conditions, is among the issues faced by the newly empowered Democratic majority in Congress, and even some of the president's political allies as well. 'The Constitution makes Congress a coequal branch of government. It's time we start acting like it,' said Sen. Russell Feingold, D-Wis., who presided over a hearing Tuesday on Congress' war powers. He also is pushing legislation to end the war by eventually prohibiting funding for the deployment of troops to Iraq."

Date: 2007-01-31 03:53 am (UTC)Radcliffe is cute, but he's really straining to be "sexual" here. Give it about five more years, Dan.
And yes, I'm squeeing over the Police reunion, even though they (and therefore I suppose I) are creaky.

On a similar note, that poor eagle. I like how the only comment on the issue is "Ah, only in Alaska."

Date: 2007-01-31 04:32 am (UTC)I read this earlier and got all weirded out, since her friends mention that she threw various wild parties and had casual sex with a bunch of guys recently after her husband's death. Just speaking in the friends' views, you can't help but think she's just insane.
I don't know who the actress in the panties is (Joanna someone?), but I hope she has bodyguards.
I didn't even think of that... though I have seen some, uh, interesting manipulations of the pics that have her in there.

Date: 2007-01-31 04:40 am (UTC)Auugh! Thanks for keeping it creepy, John Byrne. :/ I read this link a little while ago, and I'm a little surprised to see it linked to here. Also, a quick google image search reveals that the director in the comic looks quite a bit like Mr. Byrne himself. Again: Auugh! I guess it also bugs me because lately Big Barda is quickly becoming one of my favorite superhero characters. I much prefer her when she's doing stuff like this (http://community.livejournal.com/scans_daily/2783404.html#cutid1) though. (Dude! She attacked a jet! How cool is that? *G*)
I don't know if any one has brought this up yet, or maybe I missed it, but congrats on the cuteoverload shoutout (http://mfrost.typepad.com/cute_overload/2007/01/omgwtfpolarbear.html)!
