Bloomberg sues the Fed

I've often mentioned that the government will do whatever the government wants to do if they want to do it badly enough.

Usually I get a glazed over look and a quick exit, or eyes roll up into the back of the head followed by some comment that, bottom line, means "You're nuts!"

Yeah? Well, take a look at this, and now tell me what you think?

Meet Scooter-Girl!

Here she is! This is Scooter-Girl. It's Steve's cat and a companion for our 1-yr old, Cleo [my cat]. We got her from the animal shelter, who was a pleasure to deal with compared to the Animal Humane Society, and a LOT less expensive. I will never adopt a pet from the Animal Humane Society again. Just ask anyone who knows me. And I won't rehash my experience here, much to everyone's relief I'm sure. :P

Scooter chases this fuzzy little ball non stop. And I mean just that. She returns it at a gallop right to your hand or lap. She's a lot of fun.

Oh, and do you think Cleo approves of her? :>

I Love Fall!

The colors of the trees this year are amazing. I took this yesterday while driving on the interstate. I don't recomend that, btw... The trees were even more brilliantly colored the week before. Since then it rained and washed some of the leaves off. Still. Not bad.

I re-listened to "How to Succeed in Evil" from The Seanachi podcast, just so I could hear this song again. It shows up in "How to Succeed in Evil - Part II". It was worth it. I found a video with this song on YouTube.

Here are the words if you want to sing along:

Heya Tom, it’s Bob from the office down the hall
Good to see you buddy, how’ve you been?
Thing have been OK for me except that I’m a zombie now
I really wish you’d let us in
I think I speak for all of us when I say I understand
Why you folks might hesitate to submit to our demand
But here’s an FYI: you’re all gonna die screaming

All we want to do is eat your brains
We’re not unreasonable, I mean, no one’s gonna eat your eyes
All we want to do is eat your brains
We’re at an impasse here, maybe we should compromise:
If you open up the doors
We’ll all come inside and eat your brains

I don’t want to nitpick, Tom, but is this really your plan?
To spend your whole life locked inside a mall?
Maybe that’s OK for now but someday you’ll be out of food and guns
And then you’ll have to make the call
I’m not surprised to see you haven’t thought it through enough
You never had the head for all that bigger picture stuff
But Tom, that’s what I do, and I plan on eating you slowly

All we want to do is eat your brains
We’re not unreasonable, I mean, no one’s gonna eat your eyes
All we want to do is eat your brains
We’re at an impasse here, maybe we should compromise:
If you open up the doors
We’ll all come inside and eat your brains

I’d like to help you Tom, in any way I can
I sure appreciate the way you’re working with me
I’m not a monster Tom, well, technically I am
I guess I am

I’ve got another meeting Tom, maybe we could wrap it up
I know we’ll get to common ground somehow
Meanwhile I’ll report back to my colleagues who were chewing on the doors
I guess we’ll table this for now
I’m glad to see you take constructive criticism well
Thank you for your time I know we’re all busy as hell
And we’ll put this thing to bed
When I bash your head open

All we want to do is eat your brains
We’re not unreasonable, I mean, no one’s gonna eat your eyes
All we want to do is eat your brains
We’re at an impasse here, maybe we should compromise:
If you open up the doors
We’ll all come inside and eat your brains
