I just thought it was funny that Craig got in trouble for "foot-tapping," and the reporter dude's last name is Tapper.

Well, it's even perfecter, if a "jake" is cop... cop tapping, wheeeee!

Hah! You're right! I didn't even know about the cop part.

Google has been upgrading. Metafilter and metachat stuff appears instantly.

kellydamnit, trust me, it's a situation where anyone with self-respect should have resigned.

But the Republicans don't want to start ethics hearings, which is the only way to force him out. (Congress being subject to no other body but itself.)

And the Democrats? The Dems love it that he's sticking around....

chuckdarwin: Wikipedia has super-fast rush appearance now, too. We started an article on the Yemen volcano and 12 hours later it was the top result for certain searches.
