the job resignation heard round the world?

I get New York Times email updates, and when the Haiti story first came out it got billing behind Conan O'Brian quitting the Tonight Show. (head smack yes?)

My favourite tweets about Pat Robertson

ambeck613 RT @michaelianblack: What kind of deal with the devil did we make to deserve Pat Robertson?

RobKaas RT @MitchBenn: Ah, Pat Robertson. Is there no tragedy you can't make just that little bit worse?

Baberton I'm not an overly religious gal, but my thought is that God doesn't appreciate Pat Robertson being His mouthpiece.

linksalpha Andy Borowitz: Pat Robertson: Haiti?! I Thought They Said "Hades

daveidfx RT @TheBloggess: I thought "Pat Robertson" was trending because was dead. Turns out it's just because everyone wishes he was.

chopshopzak I think Pat Robertson made a pact with the devil to keep those photos of him blowing little boys quiet. My source is just as good as his.

shawnarena RT @adamchristensen: God loves Haiti & Pat Robertson even though both are natural disasters.

kryanoutloud HA!!! RT @omarg: Is there a code I can text to 90999 to take $10 away from Pat Robertson instead?

dougfun thinks Pat Robertson is an idiot - the devil makes pacts for gold fiddles, not Haitian earthquakes.

bradleygarwood ... oh, Pat Robertson. I was reading "Robert Pattinson" the whole time.

And the topic that started my blogging--my parent's cross-country move to Nanaimo.

Need some Elvis?

Here's another super iTunes deal. Elvis' #1 hits album:

30 songs
plus the "A Little Less Conversation" remix

for $5.99.

I do like me such deals. I like to stock up on "best ofs" of people who are sort of Classic, but I don't want to buy their whole backlist.

The End of Georgia

I stayed up til 6 AM so could read all of the last Angus book. I'd read that the dénouement was too quick, and they weren't kidding. You wait ten books for Georgia and Dave the Laugh to finally get together, and their get-together scene last about 4 lines. One page at most. Like being brought up a gradual incline, and then pushed off a cliff! Either it's crummy writing, or she has some sort of follow-up series/short story or something planned. Grrr!

But how enjoyable it all was. Definitely my favourite cats and toddler of all time. "He laaaiiikes it!"
