"We were communists and fascists at the same time."

Damned Flip-floppers.

CNN.com - Library board puts Jon Stewart's book back on shelves - Jan 11, 2005

Ms. Skelton is not quoted in this article, but presumably she agrees with the reversal.

:: View topic - Get Well Chris !

This is a story about a friend's brother. It's a tiny bit gross, but most troubling is that the person hasn't been found.
CNN.com - Mississippi libraries ban 'Daily Show' book - Jan 10, 2005: "Former English teacher Tara Skelton of Ocean Springs said the libraries shouldn't decide what is in poor taste."

Who is Tara Skelton? Ocean Springs is a town 17.1 miles away in Mississippi, but other than that I can see no connection between Ms. Skelton and Jon Stewart's book. Maybe it's that Ms. Skelton was an English teacher, and the book is written in English.

Why didn't the author (it's an Associated Press article) contact an actual librarian? Is there a shortage of them in Gulfport, Mississippi?
Apparently, you're going to be #1 anyway. Princess Diaries my ass.

I have determined that as long as the topic is movies, the only way I'm going to be #1 for any time at all is to be the first to take my quiz for the day. Thus - so far, I'm #1! I'm #1!
It took them a long time to do it, but I'm convinced that The Smoking Gun can obtain pretty much anything. "The Telltale Splotch" (on the right) is quite probably the most disturbing thing I've ever read.

Well, not EVER. I mean, I do like Stephen King.
Again, stolen blatantly from Dave Barry's blog (I do try to keep this to a minimum):

Instructional Headline Of The Day
The last line of the article explains everything. Well, nearly everything.
Finally,

A game I can play.
Think how those of us who consider ourselves movie buffs feel when we only get 6 right. These are darn hard!
Given my complete movie ignorance, I'm PROUD of my 5 correct trivia answers.

Wait, let me correct myself - four MONTHS for murder.
ASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSHOOOOOOOOOLLLLLLLLLLLEEEEEEEEEEE

MSN - News - CNN Cans 'Crossfire' Host Carlson

"I guess I come down more firmly in the Jon Stewart camp," Klein told The Associated Press.
Scott - I saw that article and burst out laughing. Good thing we weren't open yet.
This news speaks for itself: Bill Gates Has Eventful Presentation At CES
I just composed this long post with links to news articles and everything - but lost it when my crappy computer died.

Basically, you get 10 years for marijuana possession, 3 or 6 years for murder, and probation for locking your child in the trunk of your car so that you can drink and use drugs. What a system!

I was previously consuming about 2100 calories per day.
I was previously gaining weight at a rate of about a half-pound per week.
1 pound = 3500 calories.
A half-pound per week is 1750 too many calories per week, or 250 too many calories per day.
Therefore, to maintain my weight, I can consume about 1850 calories per day.
(We're ignoring fat content here, but let's go with it)
On the diet, I consume about 1500 calories/day, which is 350 less than required to maintain, or 2100 less than required to maintain in a week.
By the change in food alone, I should lose a little more than a half-pound per week.
(We're somewhat ignoring cheat day by calling a week 6 days)
Lifting weights burns about 200 calories in an hour.
The elliptical burns about 200 calories in 20 minutes.
Thus, with working out, I'm burning an extra 1200 calories per week.
(We're ignoring my incalculable general increase in metabolism, which we'll say is cancelled out by cheat day)
So, with working out alone, I should lose about a third of a pound per week.
With both diet and exercise, I should lose 3300 calories, or about 1 pound per week.
Over 12 weeks, I should lose 12 pounds.
Over 24 weeks, I should lose 24 pounds.
Then we can go on a cruise.
