stakebaitIf you can get a blimp for $1500, why don’t we all have one? I know what I want for Christmas!
For the jewelry makers among you, would this work?
You've probably heard it already, but the Angel's Food Drive is a great idea: ask the WB to renew Angel by giving money to the LA food bank to "help the helpless". That way whether we win or not, you know you've done something worthwhile. Character days let you support your favorites, but I couldn't find a schedule in advance. Y’all will tell me when it’s Day of Spike, right?
The Supreme Court hears case on whether we have to identify ourselves.
Pleasant courtside manner or not, Scalia’s really smoking the good stuff, isn’t he? Isn’t “a good citizen doesn’t have anything to hide” the classic argument of invasions of privacy anywhere?
Maybe I do have something to hide. Doesn’t mean it’s illegal. Maybe I’m cheating on my wife, maybe I told my boss I was home sick, maybe I just don’t like your face. Maybe I’m not “a responsible citizen”. Maybe I’m a cranky embittered old bitch. I’m *allowed* to be. When we’ve shifted the burden of proof from the police to show why they need to know to me to justify why I don’t want to tell them, that’s big.
