Well, color me so surprised -

So Gray Davis is going to face a recall election. Whoo-hoo. Another 30 million dollars down the toilet.

Gee, it couldn't be because we didn't have much of a choice last election, could it? Only thing the Republicans could put forward was a convicted felon - naaah, we're not going to elect one of those, not us - but the only other option was Captain Cornflake (oh, right, that was Jerry Brown) -

Like it is going to make a whole lotta difference.

30. Million. Dollars. Like we have that in the Treasury right now.

Proof positive nobody is thinking all the way through to the end here.

By the time it's complete, it will be time for the next election anyway.

Don't forget - this is the State that sent Reagan to the White House. Nixon, too.

We can be dumb as dead cats here. I swear it.

If you want the big things, you have to think about the little things.

Thinking of what's for dinner at 6:00 PM on the day you have the duty is not thinking about the little things.

And I can't think of everything, all the time. I want to think about other things too, yanno?

Icon Madness

I am a great stealer of creative talent! I STOLE AN ICON!

Good grief. No, I didn't.

But I'm a good sport - so I took the icon down, made a minor change and put it right back up.

Now, it's MY icon that I worked five minutes on.

And for the record, here is the reply I gave:

Myyyyyy goodness. You know, I am just as certain you have spent more time complaining about an imagined slight that you did making the icon in question.

Did you make this one as well?



They were put into service the same time.

Tell you what. I'll just make one tiny change to the icon - and they won't look identical anymore. I'll know I made the change, you'll know you made the change - and when.

I think I've made a good faith effort to allay your concerns. Keep in mind I don't have any proof that you really did what you have claimed to have done - or if two icon makers came up with the same exact thing. It's not a very complicated piece of work - frankly, as far as icons go, rather simple and pedestrian.

I do know that I don't have the artwork anywhere I can check timestamps. Or bit counts. Or whatever. It's been in use a long time. At least a year.

You must really need someone to hate. Bad.

Now go away.

No, I don't intend to dignify this with any further effort.

For the record, I don't truly remember where the icon came from - it's been long enough ago. Most of my icons were given to me - or I made them myself.

I have other things to do now.

Okay, that's better

zou did it.

All hail zou the icon giver.
All hail me the icon receiver.

She deserves chocolate. Yes, she does.

Lessee, it's the 23rd of July. 2003. Are we all clear on this now?

(Oh, and BTW, I really wouldn't tangle with auntiesiannan if I were you. That one's on the house, bubbie.)

And not to paraphrase a really good ad campaign - but fuggit anyway -

Thank you all for your support.
