The first part of Issue 3 of the Paranormals goes live on Thursday, don't forget to check it out!



In other news the last episode of the Dresden Files was actually kind of ok, bordering on mildly good. Perhaps there's some hope for the series after all. Will try to catch the latest ep of BSG tonight 'cause if I don't I won't get to watch it until Friday.

And I found another of my favorite XFiles fanfics, "Spooked", last night and am currently engaged in one that rewrites the season six premiere in a far better and more thoughtful way than the original writers handled it. I just wish they'd filmed this fic rather than what we got, but c'est la vie.

Still need an XFile icon...

Your representatives working for YOU!

I really hope the people of Indiana are lining up to kick this guy in the balls:

U.S. Rep. Dan Burton (R-IN) this morning apologized for missing 19 votes to play in a golf tournament in January.

Burton, who has not responded to requests for comment, made his apology during an appearance on a conservative radio talk show in Indianapolis.

Burton told talk show host Greg Garrison that he made reservations to play in the Bob Hope Chrysler Classic when Republicans were still in control of the House.

When Democrats took control, he did not expect them to schedule votes so early in the month. "I probably made a mistake," he said. [Editor's note: Yeah, I mean Jesus Christ they expect us to work right off the bat? What the hell is wrong with these people?]

He said, however, he hasn't yet met the perfect person who hasn't made any mistakes.

Burton missed votes to reduce college costs and cut oil industry tax breaks so he could play in the Palm Springs, Calif. golf tournament in January.

Burton also missed hearings on Iraq and North Korea to play in the event, which pairs top golfers with politicians and celebrities such as actor and director Clint Eastwood.

A review of House votes for the past decade shows the Indianapolis Republican has been absent every year votes coincided with the tournament: 2007, 2005, 2004, 2003 and 2001. This year in January, he missed a total of 20 out of 73 votes.

Also for those who still remember the Libby case, you might want to check out FireDogLake's coverage of Novakula's testimony, which makes me wish I had an icon from The Colbert Report showing Novak in bat form flying away from prison because no bars can hold him...

Strangelove 2.0

The evidence the RudePundit demands before serious discussions about bombing Iran take place:

If they wanna bomb Iran (a notion that's soooo 1980), then here's the evidence the Rude Pundit wants to see: he wants to see the Mullahs dry-humping nuclear warheads that read, "Hey, infidels, suck on this"; he wants to see a video of motherfuckin' Ahmadinejad actually shoving an IED into a drugged, tied down Dick Cheney's asshole, saying, "We're gonna blow up Dick Cheney's ass, America, if you don't back the fuck up on our nukes," with the President of Iran ordering his guards to fuck Condoleezza Rice's disembodied head. And even then, there should be a referendum in this country on whether or not we actually care if Dick Cheney's ass gets exploded. Hell, they'd probably just give the Vice President a mechanical sphincter and let him keep on lying and sending people to die for him.

Amen.

Then welsh on bet and whine like a bitch!

Are you ready, kids?

(Aye aye, Captain!)

I can’t hear you!

(AYE AYE, CAPTAIN!)

If dishonest nonsense be something you wish…

(DoughBob LoadPants!)

Then welsh on bet and whine like a bitch!
