It's Burberry!

Google Search: Burberry plaid

For months I have been trying to think of the name of a common plaid design. It's burberry.

That's not a baby, man.

Wonkette - The Matt and Judy and Patrick and Robert and Karl Show

Wonkette - The Matt and Judy and Patrick and Robert and Karl Show:

"When you say 'speech,' we think 'freedom,' so excuse us if we blow past recapping last night's pep rally to cogitate a bit more on the last act of the Matt and Judy Show. William Safire thinks Robert Novak should 'finally write' the column that would explain how it is that he's sunning himself down on Pennsylvania Ave. while Cooper and Miller are learning how to make shivs. That's a nice thought, but that would require Novak to honest. And what's that saying about a leopard changing its spots? A turd cannot grow a spine, either. (Not that the distinguished Mr. Novak is a turd. Just observing. He is also not a leopard and also we sort of doubt that's human.) But revelations are likely.

Facing jail, Matt and Judy might talk, or -- worse for He Who Must Not Be Named (Karl Rove) -- they'll go to jail with lips still sealed but outrage on the part of friends and colleagues will shake lose the which White House source outed Plame to smear Wilson. Or maybe prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald will fall out of love with his rectitude on the subject and issue the long-ago completed report on the matter. All of those things are bad for HWMNBN (Rove). Maybe he didn't do anything criminal -- we sort of doubt he did -- but it will tarnish an already dimming image of this administration to have his dirty smear job finally out in the open, what with this being the presidency of George %u201Cuphold the honor and decency of the office%u201D Bush.

Of course maybe Rove wasn't involved, WMDs will be found, Saddam was involved in 9/11 and unicorns will appear in the back yard if you wish real real hard. "

Operation Yellow Elephant continues

Daily Kos :: I'm fed up:

"Subject: It's Monday morning dudes. It's time to get up, it's time to get up, it's time to get up in the moorrrnnnnning! Those are the lyrics to reveille. I know it sounds like a French word but it's really not. It's the song the bugler blows to wake you up when you're in the Army! Isn't that cool? My mom used to sing that to us all the time when we were little to get us out of bed until my big brother threw a lamp at her. She was an Army brat when she was a kid. As a matter of fact she was born in the Panama Canal Zone when her parents were stationed there. She loved the Army life, always says moving from one fetid swamp to the next third world hellhole at the drop of some general's hat, never staying in one place long enough to make any real friends was the best kind of life for a child. ? ? ?
But enough reminiscing. By now you know why I'm writing. I just checked your website again and still no link to GoArmy.com. Why? Have you been infected by a virus or something? Or is it just apathy? I see so much apathy and downright traitorous behavior lately I'm getting disheartened. Walter B. Jones, the congressman from NC who invented 'freedom fries' now wants an 'exit strategy'. Chuck Hagel, also ostensibly a Republican but obviously a trojan jackass in horse's ass clothing says 'we're losing in Iraq'. It's like these legislators have been replaced by Demorat pod people. Even my own parents don't seem to care anymore. I called yesterday to wish my dad a Happy Father's Day and asked them to help me convince you to enlist. When I read them my previous missives my mom said, 'Mark, you need to get laid.' My dad just hung up the extension. And they even voted for President Bush!!! Twice!!! I gotta tell ya that was a real blow and I got more than a little weepy after that. It's so frustrating trying to be brave and stay the course when everybody seems to be turning all sissy mary on me.
Here's the thing. Hagel is wrong. Jones is wrong. My mom's right but that's irrelevant. We're not losing in Iraq!!! WE'RE NOT, WE'RE NOT, WE'RE NOT!!!! We're building 14 permanent bases there, does that sound like we're losing? We killed over 500 insurgents last week alone. That's real progress! If you add it all up we've killed over 26,000 of the islamofacist ne'er-do-wells since March 2003. Pissant Sunnis (the enemy) make up about 20% of the population of Iraq. Iraq has about 25 million people. At the rate we're killing them it'll only take...hang on, I'm figuring it out right now...um, never mind. WE'RE NOT LOSING, OK?!!! ?
I'm back. Phew that was close. I got so worked up I almost choked on my Count Choculas. I have to remember to take small bites. Look I've about had it. I let you guys rest on the Lord's day yesterday and didn't bother you. But unless I hear back from you or see a GoArmy.com ad on your website by tomorrow I'm telling. That's right, I'm going to write to President Bush and Karl Rove, and yes I mean THAT Karl Rove, not the
one who was indicted for selling child pornography in 1989, and tell them that you're a bunch of shirkers. I know they'll listen to me and you're gonna be in big trouble. So there. Do you want that? Do you really? Then please do as I ask so we can all get back on message comparing Dick Durbin to Adolf Hitler or Neville Chamberlain or whatever it's supposed to be. ?
As always I remain stumped by your indifference. Your comrade in arms, Mark Garrity"

She makes me want to...

For a crowd of angry voyeurs on the make

There's that commercial where the guy is at some European looking terrace, and he says something like, "I wanna do something crazy." to a woman that is obviously his wife/S.O. He then kind of pushes her away and yells at the top of his lungs, "I LOVE THIS WOMAN!" She makes me want to do that. I don't know her personally or anything, but that's still what she makes me wanna do.

Nothing but love Atzbo, nothing but love.

Mark Cuban on Macrovision

What am I missing Macrovision? - Blog Maverick - www.blogmaverick.com _:

"Macrovision Corporation (Nasdaq: MVSN - News) announced today that it has filed suit against Sima Products Corporation and Interburn Enterprises Inc. The lawsuit charges that SimaVideo Enhancers which are principally used to allow consumers to make unauthorized copies of copyrighted DVDs, infringe Macrovision patented copy protection technology and also violate the Digital Millennium Copyright Act.

Which got me completely confused on several fronts.

According to MacroVision CEO Bill Krepick, Sima and Interburn infringe Macrovisions intellectual property by
offering products that enable users to make unauthorized copies of copyrighted content by illegally removing our copy
protection system

Now maybe I%u2019m reading this wrong, but the way I understand it, the CEO of MacroVision, a company that sells copy
protection software to DVD publishers, is sending out a press release saying%u2026

"Our software doesn%u2019t work. It sucks. We can't stop a bunch of little companies from writing software that
completely busts our copy protection that we are selling for millions of dollars to publishers."

File under things that look bad

North County Times - North San Diego and Southwest Riverside County columnists

Duke Cunningham R-Ca sold his house to a defense contractor for 1.6 million in 11/03. Nine months later said defense contractor sold the house for 900K. Just a bad business deal by the contractor, right?

What if I told you that in the interim Cunningham supported that contractor's bid for tens of millions of dollars of defense contracts and that said contractor was awarded those contracts?

It could be nothing. It could be a bribe.
