So Novak was telling the truth when he said Godzilla hid all the WMDs?

Dude, Godzilla is a WMD.

Oh, so that's why there was that picture of Godzilla posing with Bin Laden. And there's the Al Qaeda / Iraq connection right there.

A friend of his did it to him.

With friends like this....

Hee. It seems to me we need a slogan, along the lines of Friends don't let friends drive drunk.

The shake character from Aqua-Teen Hunger Force (Cartoon Network/Adult Swim). One episode he got bad unnecessary plastic surgery that included his ears being moved.

Totally random on my part, I'll admit.

That's okay. Random is fine by marzipan in your pie plate bingo.

Me too! I have to explain this to Z every. single. time. I have a cold.

Yes! A sinus infection doesn't make me feel like I might be dying, although I've had some that maybe made me more inclined toward it. I had a sinus infection in say 1999. I had another one in 2002, which I'm nearly certain was caused by giving my kids their nebulizer treatments. The doctor said, "You've had a lot of sinus infections."

I said, "Isn't this my second in three or four winters? That's a lot? Um. No. Not taking Sudafed as a matter of course when the seasons change." I could see if they were anything approaching chronic, but I am much more inclined toward anxiety.

Sudafed rarely acts as a stimulant on me. But then, sometimes benadryl makes me wired. My system can be quite contrary.

Benedryl is funny. It usually knocks me out--hard. I generally only take it when my allergies are unbearable. I've found over the years that by riding out my seasonal allergies, I've become less symptomatic. But, on the rare occasion I have to take more than a couple of doses in a row, it can hop me up.

Exactly! Nuke Japan!

Wait....

---

Exactly! Nuke Japan!

Wait....

Nuke the whales!

---

Well, Godzilla is a result of nuclear testing.

Nuke the nukes!

Sudafed generally makes me tired, too. Red Sudafed just makes me kind of groggy, but the combination of stuff in blue Sudafed will knock me out for a few hours.

Oh no! They say he's got to go - go go Godzilla!
Oh no! There goes Tokyo - go go Godzilla!

Sorry if this is a bit long... but I think it's safe to say that most all of us watch television, and this affects TV....

In July, 2004, “FOX News Live” featured a segment in which a "suburban stay-at-home mom" appeared supporting president Bush over John Kerry in the upcoming November election. The woman, who was identified simply as a former lobbyist who had "started a nonprofit organization for moms" smiled and shilled for the camera, saying that she felt that Bush he would be better able to keep her children safe than John Kerry.

This same woman appeared on FOX again the next month to support the president and bash Teresa Heinz Kerry, and was again identified merely as a "stay-at-home mom.”

Nowhere in either segment was it mentioned that Penny Nance -- this concerned citizen and everymom -- was in fact a long-time conservative operative with ties to several prominent Christian activist organizations. At that time of last summer’s FOX segments, Nance, in addition to being a mom, was also the president of Kids First Coalition, a conservative group for which she was still a registered lobbyist, and a board member of the conservative Christian women's organization Concerned Women for America. Somehow, both FOX and Nance also forgot to mention that she was president of Nance and Associates, a public policy and media consulting firm.

And of course, this woman who in effect lied about who she was – twice – on national television has been hired by the Federal Communications Commission as a “special advisor” to help develop agency policy. And which policy would that be? Specifically, she will help develop the agency’s stance on fining alleged instances of “indecent” content on broadcast and possible cable television.

...

[FCC head Kevin] Martin has long been on record as wanting to enforce stricter indecency fines than Powell had. And Nance is poised to bring her own Biblically-enhanced view to help the cause. The Concerned Women for America, for whom Nance served as a board member until recently, helpfully describes its mission as “helping…to bring Biblical principles into all levels of public policy.” Another cookie-cutter religious right group called The Center for Reclaiming America, for whom Nance also worked as a lobbyist, points out that it sees its mission as one to “defend and implement the Biblical principles on which our country was founded.”

Sounds like just what a secular democracy needs in someone who will have a say in what is able to be broadcast over the nation’s airwaves, doesn’t it?

Will Buffy still be able to call religion 'freaky'?

Oh, and she thinks that the FCC should regulate cable, too....

Scary stuff there, tommy.
