That's such a sad story.

tommyrot - that's a hilarious video. I have to admit that my cat Tanuki LOVES getting into small spaces. . . although I've never tried to get her to fit into a fishbowl.

ION,

WASHINGTON - Mary Cheney, the openly gay daughter of Vice President Dick Cheney and wife Lynne, is pregnant, according to a published report. Mary Cheney, 37, and her partner of 15 years, Heather Poe, 45, are "ecstatic" about the baby, due in late spring, The Washington Post reported in Wednesday's editions, quoting an unnamed source close to the couple.

...

The Post quoted the source close to the family as saying the circumstances of Mary Cheney's pregnancy will remain private.

Don't look at me....

The problem with Vietnam as a competitor is that Vietnam was a strategically marginal area. Iraq was a strategic error in the Middle East. (You could argue that Vietnam was morally worse. Vietnam deaths numbered in the millions where our best guess as to how many Iraqi lives we've wasted is around 700,000. But the Iraq war is not over, and the number killed accelerates every month. So it could yet surpass Vietnam as a moral failure too.)

If this ACTUALLY starts WWIII Bush totally wins.

Sure, Tom. It's not like you ever...oh, wait.

Don't look at me....

You were the first to know it seems.

I really don't remember enough about the Carter administration (I was just a kid at the time) to really comment about it. Hell of an ex-president though.

Word.

It was the DOMINOS, man!!

Such a shame about the fellow. I'm glad they found the family.

ION, interesting NYT article about spam.

Nah, the freepsters have been on this all day:

Borderline rational commenter: How is this anyone’s business except Miss Cheney and her “partner” or whatever we’re calling it this week? I don’t want to hear about people’s sex lives, unlike most of the lemmings and sheeple in this country, getting their news from E!, People Magazine and Jon Stewart. What happened to the United States of America that I grew up in?

And the response: I see no dignity in violating the principals set out in the bible on how to procreate a child. I feel sorry for the Cheney family but Mary is their burden and is not for us to carry. I believe that God may have a different take on artificially manufacturing a child. You plea reeks of more feminazi emasculation of the already weak American male.

And to bring it all home:

Different craxy person: She took a baby from a potential mom and dad. bottomline.

It was the DOMINOS, man!!

Iraq is all about the dominos too. Wasn't the basic idea of the Project for a new American Century to spread pro-American democratic governments by introducing a democracy in the Middle East through military force?
