Just a beautiful day here this morning.
BTW- today’s wingnut nontroversy is that Newsweek is sexist because they used a picture Palin posed for willingly.
Through Being Cool
It was sunny this afternoon so we went to rails to trails, and after Lily went to the bathroom for the eighth time, I caught myself singing:
“La-di dadi, we like to potty.
We don’t cause trouble, we don’t bother nobody.”
We don’t cause trouble, we don’t bother nobody.”
I’m sure Slick Rick would kill himself if he heard me.
With FSM as my witness, I used to be cool. I swear.
Consider this an open thread, as I’m going out for dinner.
The KSM Trial
James Joyner provides a rebuttal to the notion that KSM should be tried, and it is notable for the fact that it contains actual arguments and not screaming and wailing and wet underpants.

Sunday Morning Open Thread: Music
Truly, this blogoverse is an amazing space. Twenty four hours ago, I did not even know there was such a musical category as ‘paganfolk’, and yet a commentor’s request concerning the translation of Japanese katakana led to a discussion of medieavalist music which led me to spend way too much time on YouTube (and too much money at Dancing Ferret)…
So now I have a request: Can anyone here tell me where I can get a copy of Faun’s DVD Ornament without ordering it from Europe?
Saturday Night Open Thread
Some random stuff:
1.) Do any of you intend to watch the Prisoner on AMC? Have you heard any buzz? Think it will be any good? Based on AMC’s recent record (mad Men and Breaking Bad), I think I’m going to give it a go.
2.) First they came for the Hola Fruta, now my store is no longer carrying Edy’s seasonal Pumpkin ice cream. It is going to get ugly if they drop Turkey Hill Mint Choco Chip.
3.) On a related food note, all my tupperware is otherwise occupied in the freezer with beef vegetable and turkey rice soups I made last week, so I decided to just buy prepared fruit cocktail instead of making my own. It is shocking the calorie difference between the fruit cocktail in syrup and the fruit cocktail in juice. Double the calories, and all of the extra calories in the syrup are empty calories from the high fructose corn syrup.
4.) Why do dogs like riding in the car so much? And what can you tell from the varying levels of moistness of your dog’s nose? Some days Lily’s nose is super wet, some times it is merely damp, and every now and then it is almost dry. Why?
5.) There is a strong relationship between those who do not think we should trust our democracy and try terrorists as criminals and those who got their panties in a bunch because the President shows his respect to foreign leaders. So much of understanding the current Republican party and their behavior can be explained away as small penis syndrome. Just a bunch of bedwetters.
6.) I guess there is no six.
