I’m very chary here of any reduction in ilitary spending. That said I’d like to see the numbers and how they would change if we were out of iraq & Afghanistan.

Great casting call, m4l.

biff,

This is so funny,
remember you mentioned last week that someone in your office said something like:
“gee, I didn’t know you had such a big package?”

I just got a call from a bank that I’m doing business with and there’s a young woman with a sexy voice telling me she hasn’t received the package.
So I tell her that I haven’t sent it and it should be going out early next week.
In what I swear sounded like a bedroom voice she says,
“ok, well I’ll be waiting for your…package.”

I did everything I could not to laugh out loud,
and I think she realized how it sounded too.

I preferred the Hitchens – the Dawkins was pretty boring even though I’d looked forward to reading it.

Any Atheists in the house? Would you recommend The God Delusion by Richard Dawkins and/or God is Not Great: How Religion Poisons Everything by Christopher Hitchens? I’ve been wanting to read both for a long time.
