Richard Blair discusses Texas Oilman Oscar Wyatt’s guilty plea and what it means.
The Hartford Courant wonders if the last Republican from New England is beginning to lose his shit.
Is Brendan right? Should he forgive before he gets an apology?
Abu Aardvark concurs that Joe Biden is basically advocating we take over the role of Adolf Eichmann.
As meaningless, non-binding symbolic Senate resolutions go, Joe Biden just managed a doozy. By passing with 75 votes a meaningless, non-binding symbolic Senate resolution in favor of the partition of Iraq, Biden managed to simultaneously: infuriate nearly all Iraqis, who have virtually unanimously condemned the resolution (as have the Arab allies of the US, for that matter); let Senate Republicans off the hook by allowing them to say that they voted for change even though they continue to vote against anything real; and endorse an unworkable plan which would massively increase human suffering while working against American interests in the region and not actually solving the problems.
Pamela Anderson does not not know how to pick ’em.

You’re 35 this year?
so far, dad is losing the argument, if my email is any indicator.
lining up in my dad’s favor: my dad.
lining up in my favor: my g/f (who intially disagreed); my brother; his g/f; 3 commenters; my shrink.
It’s not about forgiveness, feelings, or whatever: it’s about not acting like an asshole in someone else’s house, and the consequences of one’s actions.
You get 86ed, it’s YOUR responsibility to put things right, not the guy who 86ed you.
I think you’re right too. Overlooking the behavior in the name of “keeping the peave” really doesn’t do anything but ensure that the behavior contninues in the long run.
And it’s your house; if she wants to behave like an idiot, she can do it at her own place. And if she wants to come to your house, she needs to suck it up and apologize.
Uh, that should be keeping the PEACE…
It should be, but they’re definitely keeping the peeve all the same.
It can be a fine line at times when to forgive and forget or when to stand up for yourself in certain areas of personal life but it seems to me that this is a no brainer and you’re absolutely correct in how you’re dealing with this situation. Especially as you mentioned your son and teaching by example how people should conduct themselves and how to deal with messy family situations. Doing the right thing most times is not the easier way unfortunately. I do hope it turns out well enough for your family to have a great Thanksgiving.
I think we can take a giant step forward in the direction of improving the public’s understanding of events if we could some how implement a browser plugin that replaces all instances of “passed a non-binding resolution” with “made a loud farting noise”. It means about as much. It’s Congress’ way of saying, “We talked a lot today, and in the end, we voted to recognize the fact of having talked.”
Joe Biden, the guy who said Obama was “clean”, is he still running for President. Because he’s been like out of the news cycle for a long time, until now.
Here’s a phone call I wish he would listen to:
