I resemble that remark

I don't want anyone writing in to point out that I spend too much money on books, many of which I will never read. I know that already. I certainly intend to read all of them, more or less. My intentions are good. Anyway, it's my money. And I'll bet you do it too.

-Nick Hornby, The Polysyllabic Spree "A hilarious and true account of one man's struggle with the monthly tide of the books he's bought and the books he's been meaning to read"

(which I picked up when I went to B&N to find a copy of Clean House Clean Planet, which they didn't have, and instead came out with The Polysyllabic Spree, The Time Traveler's Wife, and Haunted. And, uh, my copies of Never Let Me Go and Fleshmarket Alley should be here by Tuesday. Addict? Me? I can quit whenever I want, I've done it hundreds of times.)

Right, then. Bed.

A little touchy, are we?

DeLay angered by 'Law & Order' mention

[...]
The controversy centers around Wednesday's episode in which a police officer investigating a murder of a federal judge suggested putting out an all points bulletin for "somebody in a Tom DeLay T-shirt."

"This manipulation of my name and trivialization of the sensitive issue of judicial security represents a reckless disregard for the suffering initiated by recent tragedies and a great disservice to public discourse," DeLay wrote in a letter to NBC President Jeff Zucker.

Poor Tom, everybody's always pickin' on him. Sheesh, you issue one statement about those damned activist judges saying "The time will come for the men responsible for this to answer for their behavior, but not today" and people think you might be just a little unhinged? What's this country coming to?
