He didn't file a flight plan. He set his house afire before he took off. How is crashing a plane into a government building NOT terrorism?

popfiend wants to know what do you need? A job? A hug? reassurance? Ask and it shall be given.

What stormtroopers do on their day off
~~~
The We Can't Have Nice Things Department: Health care premiums could go up almost 40%. "Just a sign of the times," says the Administration.
~~~
The SF Food department: My food is problematic or how to make (and eat) an ice planet of your own. (and her Jim is a hottie)
~~~
Detroit, with its 50% unemployment rate, has partnered with Wal-Mart to teach the kids how to get and work at jobs. But not everyone is pleased by the idea. "Subserviant Worker Training?" Really, Ms. Stern? I'd hate to be the poor clerk who has to check YOU out if that's how you feel about retail work. The bit about teachers having to make long-term loans from their paychecks to keep the Detroit schools open is even more worrisome.

Clip of the day.
Time is running out. This will be out of print as of the end of March.

~rolls her eyes~ Right.
