Jun. 22nd, 2011 10:32 pm* I saw the President's speech. As expected, it was a slow, limited draw down of surge troops instead of a firm withdraw. In other news: rain, still wet.
* I've said before, and I'll say it again: counter terrorism is a law enforcement job, not a military one. Bringing an army to deal with terrorist cells is like bringing a bulldozer to plant flowers on the verge of one's garden. A spade is cheaper and better suited to the task. The spade is also going to cause a lot less mess and collateral damage.
* The black cats are getting restless. They can see how nice the weather is. Mache actually said, "Squeak! Squeak, Squeak, Squeak, Squeak, Squeak, Squeak, Squeak, Squeak!" A serious indictment indeed. I've been playing more string with them to tide them over. The Butt clawed up my foot really well in his excitement today, and LM actually put her mouth on my toe, but thought better of it when I gave her a Look.
* Yesterday I watched the B5 episode with what I still think of as "Londo's finest hour." Today, we had the first Londo full frontal scene with the poker game. It still amazes me they got that past the censors.
* After swimming, I chatted with the smoking hot aide who is way to young for me, so I look but don't flirt. He was wearing this glorious cerulean shirt. Yum.
* Today would have been a good day for melons, but I scrounged change for meds instead. I finally got my anti-nausea pills, only a week late.
* 3/4ths of American nuclear plants are leaking radioactive tritium. A nuclear reactor in Nabraska is only not under water thanks to a rubber wall. Two plants still continue working on the San Andreas Fault, and there are still a number way too close to population centers for any sort of safe evacuation to be possible if something goes wrong.
* I wanted to post this thing with Anderson Cooper and Cleve Jones discussing Obama's marriage equality positions yesterday, but it wasn't up yet: http://ac360.blogs.cnn.com/2011/06/22/kth-obamas-evolving-position-in-spotlight/
* There's been another earthquake off the coast of Japan, but luckily, no tsunami, and the epicenter was far enough out to avoid doing real harm.
* Fringe thought: I think I don't like Olivia for the same reasons I don't like Hotch over on Criminal Minds. Character wise, that makes sense. Entertainment wise, not as much.
* The Clutch:
