And Now for a Change of Pace 0
Afterthought:
I had the good fortune to see Pink Floyd three times. Once was during my Junior Year Abroad, when they performed at the University of Exeter; it was before they became famous (they were well-know, certainly within the UK, but not yet famous). They substituted for Deep Purple, who couldn’t make their scheduled performance for some reason.
The second time was back in the states, after Dark Side of the Moon. I caught two concerts on their “Dark Side of the Moon” tour, one early in the tour and the second towards its end. They played the album straight through as the second set of the show.

Guilty! Guilty! Guilty! of mean for the sake of mean.

Kyle Whitmire looks at Alabama Senator Tommy Tuberville’s bizarre claim that airliners are crewed by furries, then proceeds to decode de code (emphasis in the original):
Tommy Tuberville’s political pitch to Alabama has been as simple as it is old.
I hate all the same people you do.

Thom marvels at Tommy Tuberville’s freakish–one could even say pervy–fixation on furries (then veers into a discussion of how trickle-on economics is eroding the economy).
It’s been a while, but I used to fly the fiendly skies regularly on business. I can attest that I never saw a furry in the cockpit or the galley, or. for that matter, in the passenger compartment.
