The picture cracked me up. Gerard’s post is funny, too…I’m re-considering the blender drink.

They all still sound like a bunch of ass-covering dipsticks\.

This will make a good Lifetime movie. “Neither the bureaucratic forces of an inept governmental agency, nor a deadly drug-resistant disease, can stop young lawyers in love, determined to make real their dreams of a Greek island wedding and a romantic Mediterranean honeymoon.”

Aside to Donnah: what do I think? They’re all fools, that’s what I think. Try this:

CDC doctors, to Donnah: You have a highly drug-resistant form of tuberculosis. We recommend that you don’t leave town.
Donnah, to CDC doctors: OK
Donnah, on cell phone, in parking lot of CDC: Honey, can you change those flights to get out of here earlier?

Yeah, I can see that.

This is the smartest thing I’ve read on a blog in four days of non-stop-blogreading:

Bush cannot destroy the “conservative movement” because a principled movement is beyond the reach of political hacks like Karl Rove. Conservatives will still be fighting for their causes long after GWB leaves the Oval Office. We might as well start fighting for them now.

And it goes hand-in-hand with this here other thing from half-way across the country, found a day later:

And there is no clear front runner, at least at this point, and so my intent is finding the impossible: the candidate who will keep his hands out of my pocket, his religion out of my life, the wetbacks out of America, and the Muslims out of cockpits.

Just call me the Linker of Serendipitous Delights. The cynical part of me says it will be impossible to ramp up Americanis Genericis to these levels, but I’m optimistic by nature.

Dr. Pauly’s Tao of Poker is the best place to get your Hunter S. Thompson, Jr. view of the degradations, and Pokerati covers it straight-ish, if Dan can ever actually pull the trigger and leave Dallas.

There are umpty-thousands of other people covering the series, but I don’t want or need their lick-fests with the celebritized pros. As in every other endeavour, celebrities are the most boring people on earth…card players aren’t any different. In fact, they may be more boring. I can’t deny that the celebritizing has helped the popularity of the game, but it doesn’t mean I have to like the flash-n-trash rock-stars themselves. But, all that aside, FlipChip of LasVegasVegas will have the best pictures of the whole ball of wax, if you like pictures. FlipChip does a lot of the celebritizing, but he’s smart enough to give us a good feel for the insanity of the whole thing and doesn’t just do celebs.
