yay for unsweetened tea!

the little cafe downstairs has finally gotten a brand where they stock unsweetened with the rest of the HFCS-water crap.  And its pretty good.

i'll buy some regularly for a while to encourage them to keep it in stock and we'll see how long it lasts.  i'll still keep my office fridge stocked up with some stuff from trader joes.

note to self: get large honey bottle.

quotes you don't hear in *normal* houses...

"No, honey, you don't need the bullwhip.  You've already got the gun."

Coulter on Professors

The science-blogging world was paying to much attention to her plagiarism of Wells's "Icons of Evolution" that they missed this beauty...

A Gentleman's C: Y'all must read this book.:

"...Professors are the most cosseted, pussified, subsidized group of people in the U.S. workforce. They have concocted a system to preemptively protect themselves for not doing their jobs, known as "tenure." They make a lot of money, have health plans that would make New York City municipal workers' jaws drop, and work -- at most -- fifteen hours a week."

As one SB'er wrote: what is she smoking?

Another adds:

Were that it be true that I worked "at most" 15 hours a week! But there is a certain irony in this coming from someone who "earns" $25,000 per one hour speaking engagement in which she gets to spew the patented bile. Three nights work and she's already made more than most professors who, you know, teach. Sad, really.
