Fuck yeah.

As a sufferer of ommetaphobia, I have to say no thanks. Except I'll walk past it everyday. And it will be watching me. I wonder if I could work at home through October as some sort of disability. This is just terrifying.

Josh Marshall hits the nail on the head as to why I was troubled by the media coverage of the two wannabe Jihadists that were picked up in NJ this weekend. Yes, they may have turned out to be bad news. But there's a lot of idiots out there (white supremacists, Christian evangelicals, etc.) that also talk a dangerous talk, and perhaps in some cases they should be followed too before actually doing anything wrong. And this metaphor works for me in explaining how I feel: "I remember back in college in the late 80s finding myself at a panel about rap music. And most of the experts... were going on about rap, with its mix of misogyny, puffing, willful young male aggression and occasional inchoate politics was an authentic product of inner-city African-American culture. And [agreed] until one guy, one of the music critics, basically called BS on the reining consensus, saying, 'Are you kidding? The white teenagers in the suburbs have all the same stuff. There it's just heavy-metal.'"

In case your cat (who is grey and beautiful and a brat and named Dusty) does this, here's what one website says: "This is a more difficult behavior to explain, and some cats are more prone to it than others. Most feline behaviorists have come to believe that some cats find a slight odor to the plastic and/or film surfaces simply irresistible, and also that the coolness and texture of the plastic and/or film must feel and taste good on the cat's tongue. It may also be another form of trying to "nurse" - sort of a feline "oral compulsive" behavior." The last sentence might be most interesting -- especially if you cat used to try to nurse herself (to the point of rubbing herself raw) when she was a kitten.

"This list of names for the Biblically nameless compiles names given in Jewish or Christian tradition for characters who are unnamed in the Bible itself." This is awesome

It's from OK Magazine, so let's take this with a Lot's wife size grain of salt if Edith should have been on a biblical version of The Biggest Loser. But still, I'd be up for these two great tastes that might taste great together. Though she'd really have been more appropriate for an alien in the late 80s. Reminds me of a scene from the new series first episode: The Doctor: [Perusing a British tabloid in Rose's flat.] Oh, that'll never work. He's gay and she's an alien.
