I'm surprised she's willing to remind us of how bad Iraq is, where we're setting records for deaths again.

I LOVE the Philadelphia Weekly cover! And ewww..another pic of pudgy Rick in his baseball uniform. You know he thinks he looks HOT!

You should let Liz Spikol know that it's "coprophilia" not "corpofagia" that is abhorrent.

We haven't slogged about that awful huge fence going up on the Mexican border. See http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/15131303/.

Also, what is this going to do to the environment and wildlife?

Re: Kindaclueless Rice's surprise trip

No doubt she's going to let the troops know that we've now lost four wars since WWII that geniuses, like her, thought were impossible to lose: Korea, Vietnam, Afghanistan and Iraq.

What a fucking bummer.

I'm bitter I can't go to the Philly event; I've got class til 9 that night. But I have told all my may-possibly-be-remotely-interested friends to go.

Spending $700,000 per year to maintain 5 high-tech toilets works out to $140,000 per toilet per year.


For that kind of money, you could build as many multi-user public bathrooms and staff them 24 hours a day with attendents earning more than $30,000/yr with full benefits.


It would be much, much better both for the people who need to go when they're out on the town and for people who don't have homes, but I suspect Seattlites would balk at "bathrooms with attendants," given our aversion to anything smacking of the sort of domestic employment common in larger cities (doormen, maids, cooks, non-white nannies, etc).

The "...in defiance?" comment about Peter Normal isn't all fair. Did you read the article you linked to?

Thanks for the Peter Norman link--I never knew.

@5 Andrew. Tis the score. 0-4 since WWII. Oh, how our will has been tarnished.
