He certainly looks like a happy man these days. I don't think Hillary has a serious shot at the presidency, but there's something charming about the picture of Bill kicking back in the White House, eating potato chips and kibitzing as she works.

FL:

I like the Clinton family, and I felt bad for Chelsea and Hillary during the Lewinsky thing, but there's a small part of me that wishes Bill would get caught bedding Jenna or Not Jenna (or both). There's just something delicious about something so funny and malicious.

I'm astonished. On the short-lived Dana Carvey Show, the eponymous host did a hilarious bit as Bill Clinton expressing his urgent craving for "stinky, sloppy sex". Despite this, and despite that the Internet is 82% porn, this phrase appears nowhere in Googlespace.

1. I'd bet money that Bill hasn't done this.

2. In the hypothetical, Bill wouldn't be acting out of malice.

3. In the hypothetical, Jenna/Not Jenna would be acting to sate perfectly normal urges (or not, who cares).

4. The malice is obviously attributable to me, but I'm not sure how it differs from prior wishing that various Republicans get caught cheating on their spouses during the impeachment of Clinton.

5. I'm not sure where the implication that the hypothetical was supposed to redress wrongs or protest policies comes; it is, as I said, purely malicious fun. I laughed when I heard the NYC bar re Jenna/Not Jenna - same thing here.

6. I'm willing to be convinced that this is strong evidence that I'm evil (not sick, ogged - take a moral stand), but I'm really not seeing it.

In the rabbit's defense, which I really hate to do because the little f'ers are eating up my garden and are defiant about it to boot the rabbit's digestion is poorly designed and they need a "two-pass process" (aka "snacking on the raisenettes") to get proper nutrition, which allows me to write nearly the longest runon sentence of my career complete with quotes and bananas "()," so I guess that's something.

It's not poorly designed! It's awesomely designed! They even have two different kinds of shits, a runnier nighttime kind (which they eat) and the familiar raisinesque "doot". Hind-gut fermenters all the way!

Well, yeah, everyone eats horse shit, but the rabbit thing is just gross.

If they simply have to run the food through twice then they should at least have the decency to barf it up into their own mouths for the second pass like cows do, instead of leaving it lie around where the flies can get it.

I see you misunderstand the process. Those raisinoid doots? Those are not what rabbits eat. That's been thoroughly digested. At night your basic rabbit will form a closed loop. No leaving it around. Out one end, in the other, no fuss, no muss.

It's precisely because they don't have the kinely fourfold stomach that they have to do this.

Regarding rabbit poo:

Digestion begins in the mouth. The food is mashed up by the teeth and mixed with saliva, which contains proteins that begin breaking down the food. When the food is swallowed it enters the stomach where it is mixed with stomach acid and digestive enzymes, which continue the digestion process. It then moves out of the stomach into the small intestine where nutrients are absorbed into the body, and then it continues on into the large intestine where the food particles are sorted by size. The larger particles of indigestible fiber drive the smaller fragments of digestible fiber backwards into the cecum, which is a large blind-ended sac located at the junction of the small and large intestines. The indigestible particles are then passed out in the fecal pellets (regular poop) and the cecum begins the fermentation process that will produce what is commonly referred to as night feces or cecotropes, which a rabbit will ingest directly from the anus. You can tell the difference between normal feces and cecotrophes by their soft, shiny clumped texture and often more pungent odor.

The human appendix is basically a vestigial c(a)ecum.
