Really, dude?
Received a pic from a former associate's Halloween party.. Could have
lost my job over that image.
And even if that really was him, I'm not at
all familiar with that part of his anatomy...!

In Case You Weren't Scared Enough
Palin on "Fruit Fly Research"
"Where does a lot of that earmark money end up, anyway? [...] You've heard about, um, these -- some of these pet projects they really don't make a whole lot of sense, and sometimes these dollars they go to projects having little or nothing to do with the public good. Things like fruit fly research in Paris, France. I kid you not!"
It's hard to know where to begin deconstructing this statement. This was a speech on autism, and Palin's critics have pounced on the fact that a recent study of Drosophila fruit flies showed that a protein called neurexin is essential for proper neurological function -- a discovery with clear implications for autism research.

Doing a Heck of a Job! (?)
Underground FEMA fuel tanks could leak:
WASHINGTON - The government owns hundreds of underground fuel tanks — many designed for emergencies back in the Cold War — that need to be inspected for leaks of hazardous substances that could be making local water undrinkable.
The Federal Emergency Management Agency has known since at least the 1990s that tanks under its supervision around the country could be leaking fuel into soil and groundwater, according to Associated Press interviews and research.
The agency knows of at least 150 underground tanks that need to be inspected for leaks, according to spokeswoman Debbie Wing. FEMA also is trying to determine by September whether an additional 124 tanks are underground or above ground and whether they are leaking.

Stimulate this!
Like many Americans, we're awaiting the arrival of our stimulus check... . All $4.36 of it!
Seems the Treasury Department feels that it's in our best interest that they take the rest of what we've been paying monthly for our 2006 taxes, instead of letting us actually use the stimulus check for something important, say... paying down our debt?
Who am I kidding, this Administration doesn't know squat about paying down debt... .
It turns out that quite a few states are also taking part in this offset program. And it turns out that a lot of people are pretty pissed about it, too.
The real test will be next month, when the IRS is not supposed to withdraw any money from my bank account to continue our repayment schedule, which was working just fine for us, BTW.

Florida, Land of Idiots?
LAND 'O LAKES, Fla. -- A substitute teacher in Pasco County has lost his job after being accused of wizardry.
Teacher Jim Piculas does a magic trick where a toothpick disappears and then reappears.
Piculas recently did the 30-second trick in front of a classroom at Rushe Middle School in Land 'O Lakes.
Piculas said he then got a call from the supervisor of teachers, saying he'd been accused of wizardry.
"I get a call the middle of the day from head of supervisor of substitute teachers. He says, 'Jim, we have a huge issue, you can't take any more assignments you need to come in right away,'" he said.
Piculas said he did not know f any other accusations that would have led to the action.
The teacher said he is concerned that the incident may prevent him from getting future jobs.

Partial conversations...
As I entered the elevator yesterday, heading out from work, two guys got off on our floor.
As the door closed, I heard one of them tell the other, "They keep the baby delivering machines down in the basement."
I may not know what a baby delivering machine is, but I'm pretty sure that we don't have any in our offices.

Keepin' up with the Times
I had an email today from my father, telling us all that he's finally figured out how to store phone numbers in his cell phone, so we should all get that information to him to have.
And he's only had the phone for two years!
