REMAINS of the DAYS: The one with exploding baby strollers.
The Internets are vast. This we know. And so, sometimes, we have to pull out a big 'ol net to catch the things that slip through our fingers. Round these parts, that net is called Remains. Haven't done one of these in a while, but may make it a regular Sunday feature. Because dammit, there are just too many days in one week for a single DAYS to keep up with. (what? oh nevermind) In a week that saw Bush and Mayor Bloomberg conspire to make me fearful of every single stroller-toting mother and child on the subway (l'enfant terrorist?), much flotsam slipped through the cracks. So just go get yourself some Remains now, ya hear?

- The one good thing about being under imminent threat of a terror attack on the subways is how quickly it clears the tourists from the trains. It's nice to have the room. Thanks. Oh, and Tidmus shows us the Homeland Insecurity Advisory is on the brink of blazing yellow "Elevated." I'd say.
- Welcome to America, where you can get booted from a flight for wearing a t-shirt depicting Bush and Cheney under the heading 'Meet the Fuckers'. I wonder what a shirt saying Meet the Motherfuckers would get you? Oh, and here in America a high schooler's thumbs down can draw a visit from the Secret Service. That is, if you work at Wal-Mart.
- This week in Iraq: "Some of you are concerned about the attack helicopters and mortar fire from the base. I will tell you this: Those are the sounds of peace."
- Catch: The Many Faces of George.
- The Campfire Girls plan for the War on Terror? I don't know, it seems better than the Free-the-Shit-Outa-You approach this adminstration seems to prefer. Of course, that's God's plan apparently, since he's the one doing the talking.
- The Bushies new plan of attack: Send in the Power Rangers.
- Oh no Katie, you let him put his penis in you? Or did you? Will you name the miracle spawn Elron? Whatever you decide, be sure to shut the hell up when it pops, ok?
- Survivor Toyland: 'As GI Joe's hand fell upon Papa Smurf, the tentacles tore his pants clean off.'
- Saw this headline from home this week: Seattle Bans Lap Dances. That seals it, I'm never moving back.
- Thank Jeebus for Top Model recaps from The FourFour and TVw/oP, a rare moment of sanity in a world gone crazy. Don't get it twisted bitches.
- Surprise! Republicans are shameful! Who woulda thunk? C&L has video of Friday's chaos in the House, which ended with Democratic members chanting 'Shame! Shame!' at the strong-armed tactics employed by a Republican leadership clearly beholden to Big Oil.
- Speaking of crooked politicians, check out Senate Space over at File 83, starring Tom DeLay.
- Canada is so cute. Even their scandals are adorable. Seriously, chewing gum? How precious! Also, there apparently isn't much to do in Canadian government. Maybe they should launch a pre-emptive attack on a sovereign nation over false pretenses. That seems to keep our politicians busy.
- Fun with White House pool reports: "Cannon fire in honor of Gen. Myers set off at least one car alarm, meaning either the vibration was sufficient to set off the alarm or that our troops had successfully downed a Chevy." (hand clap for Wonkette)
- Bush confidante, possible wooly mammoth and sudden Middle East expert Karen Hughes tucked her copy of "Islamic Culture for Dummies" under her arm and made her first visit to the region last week. The reception she prompted proved yet again that Team Bush has absolutely no idea what its doing. But don't worry, Dear Leader is certain Karen is the one "to carry our message of 'stop hatin us'" to those people. He must 'know her heart' well.
- Wheeeeeeeeee! Endless enjoyment.
