Why would I do that? I like boobies as much as anyone. Or more! The Brits are coming out with some really great miniseries. To be fair, Rebecca Eaton at PBS is contributing a fair amount into them as well. Moffet is really great at creating these yarns (he's also show-running Doctor Who, which reminds me that I need to start rewatching before the premiere next month) and I just loved how Andrew Scott played Moriarty.

Que?

Well, the hypnotoad isn't dead... it's just like it's frozen in carbonite. For anyone who's skilled in Photoshop, could you help a dev/null out?!?

Part and parcel to the farce that mothers love/care about their children more than fathers. You can't sit next to someone? Do we have to start constructing boys' rooms in addition to mens' rooms to take a leak? WTF? Where is the line drawn on enforcing gross and incorrect stereotypes, and to say nothing of the presumption of innocence... but actually judging someone guilty before a crime is committed? I would be !@#$ing pissed. !@#$ you Branson and Virgin.

Looks like the clock is ticking for the euro and the EU. It may come first as booting out Greece, Italy and Spain --- when is anyone's guess. There's emergency meetings over the next three weeks with them and France. Link. Much of Europe will be entering recession soon, and France and Germany will be in 2013. It's stuck together with bubble gum and baling twine. As was said in the '70s into the '90s and into today... you need strong political unity before you have currency unity. According to officials, Germany is now on the line for $1T of liability and does anyone have confidence that the Greeks and others can make good? You can only tighten a belt so far. I can't see how continuing to bankroll their neighbors is going to be tolerable over the forthcoming year for Merkel to win re-election... but then again, there's a different kind of rationality across the pond. The fact that we're in it even to the extent we are through the IMF and our banking is sickening. Is this the point where Obama gets to say, "Gird your loins, gentlemen?" This is all going to end badly. Germany may be the country that brings the euro crashing down

My own new chains are invisible! See??

You'd literally have to strap me down to keep from trying to carry my dog down, or at the very least, going right back up once the "younger hiker" was safe and bring the dog back whichever way it turned out. I wouldn't be able to look at myself in the mirror otherwise. As I've posted before, me and my GSP were attacked by a pit bull / Cane corso and a boxer last summer. About five minutes in, the thought of making a run for it and saving myself crossed my mind for about half a second. I've got scars on my hand, but my little boy is still alive.

And butter! HB Julia. BTW has anyone seen "Julie and Julia" (2009)? A little quirky, but quite enjoyable.

Did he say that before or after throwing Fido on the grill? You know the reason Obama took so long on deciding which type of dog to get? He wanted to see which breed had the tenderest flesh. Wow. You would've thought the Dems would drop that story like a hot potato. But here they are, picking it up again. BTW, considering that you can actually see my dog smile as he leans out the window while I'm driving, he would f---ing LOVE being in a secured crate on top of the car.

Treasury: U.S. to lose $25 billion on auto bailout Obummer and Dave in Nor-!@#$ said it's a success. And by their definition... It's even MORE successful now!!!

I'm guessing that Walt can't exactly tell Skyler about this w/o getting a little red in the face vis. her argument that violence is inherent in Walt's new business, hence her wanti 'Flynn' and the baby to stay with Hank and Marie. I mean, while I dislike Skyler and her idiot methods, you can't disagree with her essential premise. Walt, for some reason, is ineptly trying to sell that from now on, little or no bad will happen and death won't be linger around... either that or he thought he could divorce the violence now that he's in charge, flying in the face of everything that had happened in the past year. This incident is going to have to make him rethink this. We revisit a little bit of the neuroticism and obsessiveness of "Fly" as Walt keeps pumping until even aft the train starts moving, despite the protestations of EVERYONE else involved. MIke saying to get out of there? Wave him off. Walt wants 1,000 gallons and 1,000 gallons he shall get no matter what it may risk or whom it may hurt. Not 900 gallons, not 990 as the guys get back in the train engine. One thousand! I'm Walter White slash Heisenberg, B word! Walt gets more and more erratic. And because Mike has guys to pay, risks are taken. One day, everthing will not magically fall into place. Walt is headed toward a bad end. Skyler has said she's in it with him. In my vision for how the series will conclude, I had thought before about Hank and Marie winding up taking care of the kids. More than a couple of days, tho and questions will be asked and Hank's antenna is going to go up no matter how Walt tries to fool him with the act. Chekov's Gun. If there's a gun visible on the set, it will... or should, according to this style of scripting/playwriting... have a purpose or be used in the story. WRT Newsroom and Sorkin... that's usually the point in a series run where he gets busted for cocaine.

Wow.

That last bit was Rio de Janerio's opportunity to give an intro to their Games in 2016. They picked a Carnival theme, obviously. As with the Opening Ceremony, this one racked of The Individual. And especially the British Singer Individual. In retrospect, I can't say that I'm all that impressed. The Olympics isn't a concert. You know? Just a thought.

Actually, it sounds more like she was trying to say that so loudly into the phone in the hopes that his wife was near enough to hear. Not much better way to really f--- over a guy's life than something like that.

I can't speak for BFBF, but for me, it's the word "LESBIAN" that's stamped across her forehead. Not that there's anything wrong with that. (And I really mean that.)

The ref's name is Shannon Eastin. And this already has a thread.

Oh, right. Rebeka(? She uses a weird spelling) Brooks. Then again she's not hot. And I think she may be in jail. Both of those facts probably wouldn't be enough to scare off Pooj, tho.

Oh, and Poojer, was it Karen Gillan or Rose Leslie? That's pretty much my knowledge of British isle redheads....

Holy moly!!

From the step forward they took with re-design last year, that took it a step back. The collars look like stevestojan. Nike can think they're an avante-garde but time and time again has proved they're not. 'Oh, the wide collar will be mostly hidden once the uniforms are on the field,' they said. I'm going to live with the mentality that it's a tribute to Kent Hull's neck-roll. If I were to get a jersey now, it would be a throwback.

From Sage's write-up: It would be at this point that, if I were Walt, I would have said something like... You've now shown that you have a propensity toward a suicidal state with rock-solid witness Hank. with me and I will end you with a few dozen sleeping pills. I come home from the car-wash and... Oh my... you're dead on the couch. with me just once. Walt's problem here is his sentimentality in the face of this threat and that he's still trying to play out that he's doing all of this for his family and the $ and that everything can be hidden/lied about/explained/rationalized and on the outside, at least, be the same as it ever was. But yeah, points of parallel with the pilot. Among them are Walt's and now Skyler's naivete on how the game of chess is played. Her level of scheming is right up there with "fugue state." One thing I don't get is... what is Walt's cover now for where he is all the time? Count me as another who's a little disappointed so far. I seriously hope it gets better than covering the last tracks from the Fring operation, tinkering with a new meth set-up, a weak-streamed pissing match between Walt and Mike, and dealing with a stupid/psycho wife.

And if justice actually were served, this POS would have been permanetnly off the streets after the first rape. Sex offenders do not rehabilitate.

Who should he pick? Gov. Susanna Martinez from NM. She was on the record early this year that she will absolutely not accept a VP nod no matter who is the nominee. Sucks, b/c I really think she makes a great executive in terms of actually getting things done where there is agreement, working with anyone who shows up, but not abandoning her positions to do it. She will be speaking at the GOP convention. I hope it's a springboard for national politics in her future, as it's been for others. She will be a great voice for the party whenever she decides it's time. Who will he pick? My thought was on Portman up until yesterday, just based on electoral college reasoning and what I've seen. And then McDonnell came out with a hell of an op-ed on the White House's changes to welfare that gut the work requirement and provide another pipeline for public dollars to go to Obama's core constituency where they don't have to lift a finger. So the question becomes partly Ohio or Virgina? Then it becomes who's going to bring the baseball bat when it's time to go behind the woodshed? I dunno. Either one or even another candidate might do fine. But I like that McDonnell is showing some chops and is not afraid to lay it on in the national media already.
