If you've been wondering what's happening with the Belgian government (and who hasn't?), apparently after eight months of deadlock they are finally going to get a government. There's hope for Iraq yet . . .

More proof that Belgium as a state, serves no purpose. No national government for close to a year and everything just goes swimmingly. Better than usual, I'd wager. Posted by TH | March 3, 2008 10:37 PM
Belgium-as-a-state serves the vital purpose of preventing other states from taking control of the area while they are enjoying the benifits of no-government. The solution is that we should all adopt a government requiring a super majority of 90% to approve any legislation. Posted by doctorpat | March 4, 2008 9:36 PM

Should I call myself a feminist?
People don't think you're a feminist, because you don't give two shits about feminist ideas outside of ideal thoughts about how women would be more equal to men if we comically aped masculinity rituals like waving guns around. I don't think you're anti-feminist so much as just too self-absorbed and an intellectual lightweight to really be considered a feminist.
Series III TivoIs it worth spending over $500 on a Tivo? I'm sorry to report that it is. The Series Three has all the functionality that made its older products the best DVRs around: an intuitive user interface, transparent menus, simple and fast recording. Now it's added HD capability and two cable cards so you can record and watch at the same time (or record two shows). With the cable cards, the most annoying feature about older Tivos--the latency switching channels--has disappeared. They've also added new features that prove surprisingly useful, such as the ability to download movies on a whim from Amazon's Unbox service. I'd give up my dishwasher before I'd part with this.

Eight months of deadlock with nothing getting done? Maybe THIS is what brooksfoe meant when he suggested six threads ago that the US needs to modernize its government. Sign me up!
