* Sharon Engle, she of the pay for Doctors with chickens and the threatening to shoot Democrats if the Tea Party doesn't get their way, is now explaining that forcing women who were raped to have their rapist's baby is also "part of god's plan." Good to know.
* Dude! Gentleman's Emporium has pocket watches! http://www.gentlemansemporium.com/store/watches.php
* Yet another reason I'd have made a terrible astronaut: I can't imagine not trying at least once to have sex in space. (Yes, I know it would likely suck, being difficult and likely offered, but come on, who wouldn't want to try it just to see?)
* This really captures something basic about table top gaming: http://www.darthsanddroids.net/episodes/0433.html
* X-posted from elsewhere, my "Real America rant": That "real America" crap infuriates me. Why is my way of being American somehow less valid than theirs? Why do I magically not count because I exercise my constitutionally protected right to be different? Why am I less of an American because I value constitution over flag, am allergic to hot dogs and apple pie, and exercise my religious freedom by being Buddhist, not christian? I have voted in every election I've been legally allowed to except for one that fell to close to a move for me to get my paperwork in order. This is my country too, and it pisses me off that because I choose to vote my conscience, I'm magically unAmerican.
