Yes, that's why the latte-swilling masses dislike you.

Hewitt asked Palin her reaction to the “extreme hostility” that she has faced from liberals.

“Oh, I think they’re just not used to someone coming in from the outside saying you know what? It’s time that a normal Joe six-pack American is finally represented in the position of vice presidency, and I think that that’s kind of taken some people off guard, and they’re out of sorts, and they’re ticked off about it,” she said.

You're right, Governor Palin. We don't know what it's like to have Joe Six-Pack as the VP. We just know what it was like to have him as the actual president for the past eight years.

This story may make my dad go to Hollywood and severely beat a TV executive.

Patridge Family remake bound for NBC

NO. STOP THAT.

"In the original, the kids actually recruited their mom to front the band, which I can't see happening in any family on this planet," he said. "The new version will reflect what seems to me to be the more realistic family band scenario these days: a struggling, sort of well-meaning mom pimping her kids in order to create a wholesome-slash-sexy cash cow."

I keep rereading that paragraph in the hope that it will stop being utterly appalling, and it's just not happening. *headdesk*

That sums me up, really.

I have an entire shelf devoted to my disaster books.

Granted, right now there's only ten books on there. I let a co-worker borrow my book on the Cocoanut Grove fire and never got it back, I need to get new copies of Alive and A Night To Remember because I long ago lost my copies of them (actually, I think I may have read my third copy of Alive until it fell apart, much like I did with two previous copies), I let another co-worker borrow The Circus Fire but I need a newer copy anyway, and there's a bunch of other books I've got to get my hands like stuff on the Iriquois Theater fire and Eastland and I don't have anything on September 11th, Katrina or the tsunami, so. *shrugs* Oh, and also I ordered a book on the Texas City explosion.

But right now what I have on the shelf is:

Krakatoa
The Children's Blizzard (Just got these and haven't had a chance to read them yet)
To Sleep With The Angels
Hiroshima
Day of Infamy
The Johnstown Flood
Curse of the Narrows
Triangle
Lusitania: An Epic Tragedy
Isaac's Storm

I may have the most depressing reading list of anybody I know. Heh.

For the record, I keep Lucifer's Hammer, Swan Song, and The Stand on a different but adjacent shelf, just 'cause. I'm a bit morbid, I think.
