Seriously, if a beauty pageant asks you who you'd like to have lunch with, the answer is always Jesus.
Rounding out the Top Ten are Abe Lincoln, Oprah Winfrey, Ronald Reagan, Betsy Ross, your grandfather, Robert Pattinson, your grandmother, George Bush Sr., George Bush Jr., and that lady on the Supreme Court who achieved so much even if most of her views are wrong.
Too many stories, to much to do before Thanksgiving, so I stopped at "West Wing actress"...
She's not unknown to a West Wingnut like me. How I love to revisit my DVDs and hear the late, great John Spencer bellow from his desk, "MARGARET!" -- and NiCole Robinson would appear and be hilarious without fail.
I read the dog story. I have no thoughts on it. And I will wait till New Moon is on cable to see it. But thank you for the Talking Heads clip. It reminds me that I have to replace my broken Stop Making Sense DVD...
@unclevanya: OH. Wait. NiCole Robinson is Margaret? She's great! I still don't get why she's talking about J-Lo's dog, but she's awesome. They should've given her more scene with Lily Tomlin in the fourth season. And I stopped watching after that except for the last season.
Pattinson and Daniel Radcliffe ought to form a support group for victims of capital-F Fandom, except that such a group would itself inspire terabytes of gay BDSM crossover fanfiction.
Reading this is like doing a bump off some club kid's ass.
I wait for it every Saturday morning in agony when I am stuck working.
Oh Foster, you make me love you.
@Foster Kamer: My son has a wicked ear infection right now. He does have drops to pop in his ears for pain -- Auralgan is the brand name. The drops work quickly. There is an OTC drop that works a bit, but not at well as Auralgam: Similasan Homeopathic Ear Drops for pain.
@momof3wildkids: No shit. #tips indeed. Also, a big #notafraidtobeservicey for you. Thanks. If I go to the doctor, will they give me the good stuff for pain? Because this shit hurts.
@Foster Kamer: There should be no issue to ask for a pain drop and get it. The Rx is a topical anesthetic so it isn't like codeine, oxy etc where you could get hooked.
There are many different names for the benzocaine drop, but you want benzocaine. Benzocaine is the key.
@momof3wildkids: Okay, so, update on The Great Gawker Weekend Ear Infection of 09: my local pharmacy (run by a bunch of Italian brothers, who diagnose most illnesses with "HA: Pussy.") told me I definitely need an Rx for Auralgan, so I had to buy this shit in the mean time:
@Foster Kamer: Yep, I've used it before. According to my son Patch, it doesn't work nearly as well, but it helps.
Get to a doc in a box (walk in clinic) when you are done today. The beautiful thing about ear infections is that they clear up fast w/antibiotics-- and the painkiller drops.
Nonfarm payroll employment fell sharply in January (-598,000) and the unemployment rate rose from 7.2 to 7.6 percent, the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the U.S. Department of Labor reported today. Payroll employment has declined by 3.6 million since the start of the recession in December 2007; about one-half of this decline occurred in the past 3 months. In January, job losses were large and widespread across nearly all major industry sectors.
When you are asking for money from the government, doesn't the government get to set some ground rules? If you want a medical research grant, you have to write an extensive proposal and if you are lucky enough to get funded, you better publish something or you won't get the next one. If you want a Pell grant, you and your parents can't be wealthy. If you want a loan backed the the Small Business Administration, you have to provide everything but images from a colonoscopy in your application.
CEOs who think they deserve a better life than what $500K a year will buy in Manhatten or CT shouldn't run their companies into the ground, much less expect no-strings-attached government bailouts.
Banks have received far more than the government has invested from other investors. You can't just charge to the front of the line from a corporate governance perspective simply because taxpayers are upset. The risk here is that you force the government to nationalize any industry it bails out because normal investors and board members get crowded out of day-to-day business decisions.
@ADismalScience: I'm trying to parse your sentences. Are you saying that banks have received more mony because they are worth it? That they deserve to charge to the front of the line because, well, they are banks?
And then you appear on Gawker, miffed that your total annual comp is down 10%? From the record-breaking 2007?

Feel better, Foster! Although I must admit that I'm enjoying this slightly pain-crazed version of you.

Mind you, I've never purchased a homeopathic product in my life. This is a first. Desperate times. Also, I walked there at an angle. That was strange.

Try being down 100% before you know everything.
