Who wants a job!
Howdy,

If you know anyone that wants a job making a living wage for a couple months have them email me. The job would be talking to people about issues and political candidates. Qualifications are you must be 18 or over, able to walk, and good talking with people. We do all training so no experience is necessary.

Congrats on your new position my friend! And although I see that Felly has already gotten to you, I am not the door to door type. I hated selling Girl Scout cookies and therefore decided to quit. Terrible, I know :)

ask lauren!

I know some people that are looking for work at my church. Can you email me exactly what the job is and the qualifications? Can students do it?

Brandy Cherries
Yum Yum,

I have cherries soaking in brandy in my fridge. Hope they are ready in time for the next party, because we will all be cherry soaked messes then.

love,

my parents always have a healthy supply of brandy cherries in the house for some reason...for reals, they always do
james - 06/15/08 21:40
Yup, just make sure you fill the jar to the top so there is no air in it. Put on a rubber gasket and seal it tight.
boxerboi - 06/15/08 21:35
mmm cherries. you just drop them in and let them soak?

that is too freakin cute

That yellow one reminds me of my sis's cat. I beat he would do the same thing put his paw on it and go away. I wonder what the tortoise wanted. I'm guessing the cat just felt like lying around (they can get pretty lazy) and was bothered by the tortoise or the shell freaked it out.

man, that tortoise is CRUISING. he has a purpose!

best/worst self-description
The Iraq war will no doubt go down as one of the great blunders of the American empire as it stumbles into history. Of all the scandals, the millions in misappropriated funds, the stockpiles of missing arms, the failure to establish an Iraqi police and military force, the propping up of an ineffective and lazy parliament, Blackwater, a lack of transparency with contractors, the invasion itself... this one is my favorite.

Owen Cragol, formally President of Northern Arizona University, was hired as chancellor of the American University in Iraq. The position is a significant one. AUI would help transform the intellectual life in the Middle East. It would expand American intellectual influence into a country not particularly friendly to the US.

But a simple google search shows just how poor choice Cragol is to head the AUI. In 2001 Cragol resigned from NAU after a scandal. In a locker room, Cragol grabbed the genitals of a fellow faculty member. After charges of sexual harassment Cragol sent out an email to all staff in which he described himself as "a rub-your-belly, grab-your-balls, give-you-a-hug, slap-your-back, pull-your-dick, squeeze-your-hand, cheek-your-face, and pat-your-thigh kind of guy."

Now, that is worth a belly laugh. But to get a little perspective on the issue, you can read this article.

Oh my heavens.

I personally would not volunteer for the post unless I'd been blackballed in the United States and needed a change of venue. In civil wars and insurgencies, intellectuals often become prime targets.

I wonder who else applied for the job? (if anyone)
