Of course, if Congress and the Administration knew they had to boost the economy or face hanging in a year they’d be cutting regulations and taxes like mad. That they aren’t doing so suggests that growth isn’t really their top priority.

It’s really amusing to watch Prof. Reynolds get more and more riled up by our new Democratic Overlords (whom I, for one, do not welcome).

I was just walking home from work in Arlington Center (!) and totally saw a pimp drop off a smokin’ hot young hooker at an apartment building on Mass Ave.

For a second I was tempted to call out “What’s in that envelope is for my peace of mind. My peace of mind is worth that much. Not one penny less, not one penny more.”, but then I remembered that today isn’t White Boy Day, today is just Thursday.

The only way I can be sure Zeus has swallowed his antibiotic pill is to dig a little hole in a piece of brie and hide it in that.

I surrender.

(Yes, shoving them down his throat did generally work, but they would occasionally get stuck and come back up later, which is a health hazard with this particular kind of pill)

In the Napoleonic wars, an officer finds an old book that relates his grandfather’s story, Alfons van Worden, captain in the Walloon guard. A man of honor and courage, he seeks the shortest route through the Sierra Morena. At an inn, the Venta Quemada, he sups with two Islamic princesses. They call him their cousin and seduce him; he wakes beside corpses under a gallows. He meets a hermit priest and a goatherd; each tells his story; he wakes again by the gallows. He’s rescued from the Inquisition, meets a cabalist and hears more stories within stories, usually of love. He returns to Venta Quemada, the women await with astonishing news.

Among Neil Gaiman’s top 10 faves, apparently.

Anyone seen it?

JammieWearingFool: Good News, Guys: Hottest Babe on the Planet Now Available

The sexiest woman on Earth is back on the market.

Sci-fi starlet Megan Fox and her longtime fiancé, Brian Austin Green, have called it quits, according to Us Weekly.

The celebrity mag yesterday described the couple’s breakup last week as “completely amicable.”

Reps for the “Transformers” starlet, 22, and the B-list actor, 35, best known for his role on “Beverly Hills 90210,” did not return several calls seeking comment. Each star has a tattoo of the other’s name. “Brian” is on Fox’s lower abdomen.

She’ll have to do something about that tattoo before I consider any longterm relationship.

I assert there are millions of men in this country alone who would change their names to Brian to spare her from having to do something about that tattoo!

(via Insty)

UPDATE: seems other folks in JWFs comments had the same idea – oh well.

Can’t download them yet, only stream ‘em… hopefully they’ll turn themselves into a full-on podcast service soon. It’s unfortunate that so many things of value are ephemeral when they don’t have to be.
