Every time I drive up to Greensboro, I see lots of billboards advertising “ranch townhouses.” Isn’t that kind of a contradiction in terms?
Just got back from visiting my parents. My mom has broadband now. What is the world coming to?
It’s kind of funny, though, that I’m thinking of giving her my old G4 when Mark gets a new desktop. Nowadays, you’re just as likely to see kids giving their parents hand-me-down electronics as you are to see parents giving their kids hand-me-down cars.
I love that I have a mother who wants my hand-me-down electronics…
2 ejections from House denounced: Capitol police chief apologizes to G.I.’s mom, lawmaker’s wife:
A 1946 law prohibits demonstrations within any of the Capitol buildings. But a subsequent U.S. Capitol Police Board regulation clarified “demonstration activity” to include “parading, picketing, speechmaking, holding vigils, sit-ins, or other expressive conduct … but does not include merely wearing Tee-shirts, buttons or other similar articles of apparel that convey a message.”
I was right. Apparently there’s not a law against merely being annoying. Which is a good thing, all in all.
