Wow... that takes some balls...

Republicans (well, and Democrats too) are criticizing the Iraqi parliament's decision to take a two-month vacation. Because, it it an "outrage of outrages" that they go on vacation while our troops fight.

Remind me again, how much time has President Chimpy taken off while the troops have been fighting?

And wait, doesn't Congress typically take all of August off? And usually a week (at least) around major holidays?

Hrm.

That's not good

So, just got done watching old episodes of Scrubs on Comedy Central, and was channel-flipping a bit before going to bed.... and the tv cuts off.

WTF?

Okay, I have two remotes... one for cable, and one is a "universal" TV/VCR/DVD one... maybe I sat on that one or something and turned off the TV. No, that's not it. Fine, whatever, I turn the TV back on. It's on for about thirty seconds, and then shuts itself back off.

Okay, seriously, WTF?

I'm not sure if it's the heat (bloody warm in my apartment), or if it's just that the TV is old (it's at least 8 years old, probably more), or what.

Hopefully, this will clear itself up by tomorrow, when I need it on to record shows on Sci-Fi.

Edit: And now, it's working fine. Strange....
