(H/T: Hot Air) Feast your eyes on what the Copenhagen folks decided to start their conference with:

…Whoops! Sorry, wrong video. Obviously, I meant this one:

[pause]

Yeah, I know: they would have been better off with the first one. If for no other reason that they could have gotten their putative message in at half the time.

PS: Never go back for the stuffed polar bear. Never go back for the stuffed polar bear. What are they teaching kids in school these days?

(more…)

We’re trying to get a stolen license plate on the commuter car replaced; only they’ve held up my wife all morning over the fact that they’re listing the family car as uninsured. Despite the fact that they issued us license plates for said car when it was purchased six months ago, which they wouldn’t have been able to actually do if the car was uninsured. God knows that they came up with every other possible reason for not giving us plates. And now she has to go stand in line again.

But hey: the government will be absolutely stellar with managing your next kidney transplant for you.

As part of her actually-not-entirely-unreasonable assessment on the problems in the Sudan:

In addition, when the administration says it intends to work to “improve the lives of the people of Darfur,” I would like to know what that means, besides the obvious point that their lives could hardly get worse.

Wouldn’t we all.

PS: I knew that you aren’t all that enamored of the current administration, Angelina; but I hadn’t expected you to be so… unilateral.  Careful, this is how it starts.

Because what can I say, really?

Except that a bet’s a bet, of course.  And that the guy can always pick up a new television here.

Background, here.

Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel?

Really? What has he done to deserve that?

PS: The rest of the article (via RCP, by the way) wasn’t all that interesting.  I’m not saying don’t read it; just don’t expect overmuch from it.

Well, that’s the rumor that Jim Geraghty is hearing; that the Cook Political Report is declaring DOOM at this point argues that the Democrats probably should send Chris Dodd back to his Irish mansion.  On the other hand, Dodd has been showing no signs of wanting to go gently into that good night; and on the gripping hand… if national Democrats had this kind of power, wouldn’t they have used it on Corzine, Paterson, and Deval Patrick?

He had a fundraiser in New Orleans that he rather badly needed to do, and never mind the rhetoric on how important it is to pass health care rationing.

The GOP mocked him, as was only fitting. The GOP is, in fact, using it as local campaign fodder; and so Senator Reid doesn’t get to go to New Orleans.  He’s quite upset about it, too*: it’s unclear to whether it’s from being done unto as he has done, or simply because Reid needs all the help that he can get.

*I don’t know: is he about to cry?  I think that Reid looks likes he’s about to cry.

Because it’s pretty. I think that we’ve gone over this before.

I’m a little late in thinking about this – new kid, and everything – but there’s always Child’s Play.  This is Penny Arcade’s signature charity: it provides games and toys for sick kids while they’re in the hospital.  Details are here.

And there’s not much else to say besides that, really.  Except that there’s always somebody less fortunate, alas.

“Don’t let the door hit you in the ass on the way out, Zelaya.”  He’s not decamping to Mexico after all.  A great pity: the sooner he fades away, the sooner we can all start trying to forget that with regard to Honduras this administration not only first stepped in it, but dropped and rolled for good measure.

So what’s Spanish for “Get on with it, Zelaya?”

How did I miss this… oh, right, new baby.

Yeah, I should get back to more roleplaying geekery.  Heck, between the new kid and the slightly older one it’s been hard to even throw dice down recently.

*For those wondering: In Nomine is a RPG that intersects angels, demons, and automatic weaponry.  It’s my favorite roleplaying setting in the whole wide world, and I really should start another campaign in it.

It’s called Xanthohumol, they get it from hops, and it apparently does things to keep testosterone and estrogen from contributing to prostate and breast cancer, respectively.  My wife the engineer is mocking the science reporting in this, by the way: to which I give a hearty ‘Bah’ as I uncap an anti-carcinogen. Dammit, this is science.
