Dammit, now I want popcorn. Because, you know, it explodes.

In other news, this is a great article detailing some of the bullying the Bush Administration is handing Congress over the Guatanamo Bay policies. There's a great bit in the middle about Arlen Specter's clash with Steven Bradbury (the Justice Department lawyer), which I heartily recommend reading. This part really amused me:

Specter did get one measure of revenge. Early in the session, two women from the left-wing group Code Pink raised signs in the press section demanding: "CLOSE GUANTANAMO." Police stepped in to remove the activists, but Specter whispered instructions to an aide, who told the cops to stand down.

....cut money to New York City and Washington by 40 percent, while significantly increasing spending for cities including Louisville, Ky., and Omaha.

It makes me wonder what is around those "high risk" areas in the midwest that the govt. wants to protect without letting the people know they are protecting it. I think there is something here that we can't see.

Oh and, MMMMMMMM popcorn.

I got my popcorn last night!

It was too salty, though. Which is probably good, it cured me of my popcorn craving very quickly.
