True that the moon will be biggest this month, due to perigee, but I'm not sure why you said it'd be the brightest. Local effects like cloud cover and light- and air pollution aside, the sun doesn't get brighter right now, and sunlight is the thing that illuminates the moon.

Ha. When I went to the DoL for my tabs, the kind lady behind the counter told me that I had the option to pay an extra 5 bucks, but that I should know that my municipality already charges me 15 for parks. I was ready to pay the extra 5, but if they're already taking it from me, fuck 'em.

...and to think I have put Xs next to both Edwards' and Lieberman's names. I'm guess I'm not laughing so hard at Palin now.
Jesus...

Isn't anyone pissed at Young? I'm getting sick of these tell all later, rather than before books. I know he was in a difficult position, but we are talking President here, not City Council. And, if he didn't have the balls to bring it out when it mattered, he should keep the shit to himself.

Can't wait to see Four Lions...who said suicide bombers don't have a sense of humor?

I think what really happened is that Chris Matthews remembered he was white for a second.

I went to see Rabbi Greenberg, his talk was pretty amazing. He pretty much flattened all arguments against homosexuality (at least the ones that stem from those particular verses in Leviticus). Also, when's the next time I'm gonna hear a Rabbi say "anal rape" in synagogue?
