Someone helpfully made Steven Colbert’s roast (or hilarious incineration) of President Bush available on YouTube.
YouTube – Colbert Roasts Bush 1-3
UPDATE: But then it was eventually removed from YouTube at C-SPAN’s request. However, it’s now popped up on Google Video – apparently with C-SPAN’s permission. You can watch it here.
I’m about to settle down and [...]

An undocumented worker named Rosa tells her story. Actually, it raises an interesting question:
Working in the shadows | Chicago Tribune
She paid $120 for a fake Social Security card and applied at the restaurant where she has worked six days a week ever since. Her boss, who relies on her to train new workers, has told [...]
$100 rebate plan called costly, ineffective – Martin Wolk: Eye on the Economy – MSNBC.com

Maybe if I act like that, that guy will call me back

This item was right at the top of my Google News today – I have it set up to find articles about the Episcopal church (but also filtered so that I mostly see stuff about my own, progressive wing of said church, rather than endless polemics from the small but extremely vocal conservative wing, who [...]
Here’s irony for you – yesterday, I was doing a laundry run for the local PADS homeless shelter yesterday. It was absolutely the last day to do it, because the shelter we at Holy Moly volunteer for is a Friday night, and they needed to have the soiled laundry picked up, dropped off at the [...]
