I believe we agreed on having bad movie at my place (Richard) at 8:30.
My friend Mike is coming over around 6:00 and he's bringing Rock Band 2. If anyone is interested in a little Rock Band before the bad movie come on over any time after 6:00.

Jeffrey Goldberg, who wrote that article on airport security I posted a while back, is holding a contest: Can You Out-Lame the TSA?
He first quotes TSA head Kip Hawley's response to his article:
"Clever terrorists can use innovative ways to exploit vulnerabilities. But don't forget that most bombers are not, in fact, clever. Living bomb-makers are usually clever, but the person agreeing to carry it may not be super smart. Even if "all" we do is stop dumb terrorists, we are reducing risk."
While it's very poorly put, I'm not sure that's the most ridiculous sentiment in the world. This might be, though:
"FEMA Administrator R. David Paulison said yesterday in a press conference that his agency is well-equipped to cope with the consequences of strong winds and heavy precipitation. `FEMA has been criticized for its performance during Hurricane Katrina, but I would like to point out that Katrina was a very big hurricane,' he said. 'Most storms, in fact, don't become hurricanes, and it is these storms that we will focus our efforts on.' Paulison went on to say that FEMA is also prepared to handle the after-effects of such moderate storms as minor flooding, downed tree branches, and missing cats."
Let the games begin.

Apparently the candy came first.
The show was created by The Walt Disney Company, and loosely inspired by the gummi bear candies

Ah, that must have been it. I really should listen to these podcasts in a more timely fashion.
