Your fear and hate are hurting you worse than I am.

The Sheraton commercials make me want to stay there. Great marketing, guys.

I just finished watching "Waco:The Rules of Engagement". I have not felt this passionately about a movie in I don't know how long. I was a senior in high school when Waco took place, and to be honest, I didn't know anything about it. This movie has made me so ashamed of an administration I voted for and a government I trusted. I am not exaggerating when I say that this film has changed the whole way I view our leadership, government, and ideals. I recommend this movie to absolutely everyone. It is not a Michael-Moore type opinon-driven documentary (although I have no problem with him). It is based on video feed from media during the standoff, footage from the US Senate Committee Hearings which took place 2 years after Waco, as well as taped interviews and conversations with Branch Davidian members during the siege. Members of the FBI blatantly LIED to the Senate, and the evidence is on tape. It is sickening as well as disheartening.

This is too funny not to repost.

Who says cats have lost their hunting instincts?

This is totally hilarious! It is work-safe and it does have sound.

The sad truth about Japanese-themed restaurants.

she's got a case against me
a jury of my peers
and the rage of the righteous
screaming in her ears...

i made a bad connection
she says i went astray
i jumped ship, abandoned my post
i didn't think i lost my way
but oh how the mighty fall...

i don't got a chance for redemption
she don't believe in the miracle mile

so take the first shot baby it'll be real clean
i'm your girl strong and mean
second shot baby it'll be real cool
i'm your fool

i said now don't give that girl a gun
i said now don't give that girl a gun
(give that girl a gun)
she's already won
she's already won

why can't we come together?
she said "i doubt we ever will
ever will again"

Happy birthday, kmeghan!!

I tried to do the sparkly writing but it messed up and looked weird.

Thanks for posting this, curvedmetal! I am stealing some of your exact words as well as the link. Everyone please read this and post it in your own journal, even if it's not something that interests you personally. Thank you!

Furkids is a new non-profit, no-kill, cage-free, all-volunteer animal rescue organization located in Atlanta, Georgia. Their mission is to provide a safe haven for abandoned cats and kittens until they are adopted to loving, lifelong homes. Check them out here.

The cost to run the shelter each day is $225. If 200 people donated $35.00 a month, it would cover the monthly operating costs of $7000. Can you give up eating out once a month? One trip to Starbucks a week? They can set up a recurring charge to your credit card, and it's tax-deductible. No donation is too small! Imagine if an hundred people donated just $2. That's $200 right there.

kmeghan, this is for you!

I just finished reading My Sister's Keeper by Jodi Picoult. It was so so so good that I finished it in one afternoon. I highly recommend it.

I'm not trying to exclude you from things I write because I don't want you to know. It's been my understanding that's how you want it.

thanks nonpropheteer!

YOU ARE RULE 12(b)!

While you might be a defendant's best friend, you

aren't exactly polite to others. You have

seven separate grounds on which to dismiss a

plaintiff's case. You are a bit paranoid,

since if you fail to raise your 12(b)(2,3,4,

or 7) in a motion or a pleading with one of

the other 12(b) defenses or a 12(e) motion,

you waive those objections for the rest of

trial. Some might say that 12(b) is the

biggest bully of the Federal Rules of Civil

Procedure, but hey, somebody needs to keep

the peace. You might not be the most popular

guy in the office, but you're probably the

most important.

A bulletin just came across that mine rescue teams are on their way into a mine in Logan County to search for two miners. They went into the mine to search for the cause of a fire. That's all they know right know. Good grief.

I just heard about a recall of Diamond Pet Food. A fungus in the corn used to make the food can cause fatal liver damage in animals. The link to the full story is here. Please pass this on to anyone you know who has pets. Thanks.
