    F-16s following stolen plane… where, exactly?

    F-16s following stolen plane — chicagotribune.com It was unknown how much fuel was in the plane or how much training the student pilot has acquired, Kucharek said. The Web site cessna.com indicated the Cessna 172 Skyhawk is a four-seater with a range of about 790 miles and top speed of 141 mph. They evacuated the Capitol building in Madison, WI when the guy went over about an hour and a half ago, and he’s headed our way or beyond us by now. But what the heck?  What’s his story? Obviously, he doesn’t have the radio on, he ignored “non-verbal” signals…

    Why Melissa Bean Trashed TARP

    As I suspected when I Twittered about it at the time , she’s a creature of the insurance and banking lobbyists. I am SO DISAPPOINTED in her. She replaced the worse do-nothing doddering Republican Congressman then in the House, and for this? Ugh. I hope some good people gear up to give her a primary challenge. And she still doesn’t have a Twitter account or a decent email system.  Her canned responses via email take forever.

    CROCS Intervenshun – Thanks For Ur Halps LOLcatz!

    I wonder what MrRileycat_Esq would do if I came home wearing CROCS? Would he react like this stalwart cat, saving his or her human from committing shoe crime? Every now and then, I think about getting a pair of CROCS, because they’d make pretty practical gardening clogs and also for those times when we’re on vacation and need a comfortable slip-on sandal that won’t get ruined by salt water. Fortunately, the good people at I Can Has Cheezburger were there to stop me from doing irreparable harm to my dignity and self-respect.

    FAIL: Old del.icio.us comment thread

    delicious blog » using delicious on your iphone. Used to use del.icio.us more when I could use my work computer to read news and websites, fell out of the habit post-iPhone. Checked for a bookmarklet rather than an app and found this awesome! FAIL of an official blogpost demonstrating how to add a del.icio.us bookmarklet to iPhone in a video not viewable on the iPhone. All the most useful info is provided by commenters. To their credit, d.i.u. staffers kept reading and responding. I’ll try the bookmark method at home tonight.
