So then any Seinfeld not a classic is classic by virtue of not being a classic.

Classic classic.

"So the CIA is giving agents lie detect or tests to make sure agents aren't telling the truth. MIND=BLOWN"

This story and the "changing names" story aren't getting as much attention as I would expect.

Maybe it's too hard to believe.

Rabel, the major news media only barely care, most people don't pay attention to the news anyway, and of those that do pay attention at least half don't care if Obama is fucking aborted fetuses in the Oval Office and personally ordered that the Ambassador get rubbed out, because he's black and Democratic. This story is a loser, and it just isn't going to go anywhere. Obama has been given a pass on the worst economy since the Great Depression, what makes you think someone is going to hold him to account over a few dead Americans in some foreign shithole?

Was too busy to comment intelligently today, as if I ever do, but I would like to make note of what an impressive series of posts were offered up today. Great work from everyone. Really wide ranging and interesting as they have been all along, but today was just stellar. Thanks for the horn of plenty.

A girl I knew in high school referred to them as "Manfred Mann's Cover Band".

That was the last song I saw the Grateful Dead play. July 2, 1995. Had tickets for the next night's show, but it was cancelled due to rioting at the 7/2 show.
