ATH - REVEALED

Muffy is gone. Peace has been restored.

On to the questions!

From Waflen:

I have already received 2 invitations for Halloween parties. The pressure is on! What should I be??

A: Yourself Waflen, be yourself. Kidding. Okay, I'm not that good at halloween costumes, but the best ones I've seen are things like the pregnant girl scout or really creepy ones, like you get all really sexy'd up and you have blood coming out your tear ducts or something. Or a nosebleed. But that's it, really minimilist. I like those. The best Halloween costume I've ever had was one year Sabrina and I went as Jack and Jill after they fell down the hill. We were all bloody and dead and scary looking.

From Alcott:

the House passed a resolution to formally 'rebuke' joe wilsons behavior during the presidents speech. what does that mean in terms of action and consequences for wilson?

A: Nothing. It looks like a rebuke is a "resolution of disapproval." Which I think is just a slap on the wrist. The best explanation came from CBS:

A House member can say a president's position is a "disgrace to the country" or that members of his administration are "half-baked nitwits," according to the guidelines. But he or she can't call the president a "liar" or a "hypocrite."

There have been 22 censures in House history, the last in 1983. There have also been eight reprimands, most recently involving Newt Gingrich in 1997, and five expulsions, the most recent being Jim Traficant in 2002.

A resolution of disapproval is the weakest form of punishment used in the House. There is no specific penalty for Wilson spelled out in the measure.

Here is the actual resolution
. It's ridiculous. It's so short and weird. Really just a slap on the wrist.

From Smuss:

why is there a new jay leno show on? do you think kanye was drunk when he did what he did? why do we care more about kanye than all the other fuckers who are screaming? why is everyone screaming? why does everyone love halloween so much? do you believe, as i do, that there are 1K witches' souls in every piece of candy corn? (i don't really, but it's nasty.) do you believe the national weather service (el nino) or farmers' almanac (bitter bitter cold) about this winter?

Why is there a new Jay Leno show? For old people

Do you think Kaye was drunk when he did what he did? Yeah, probably. Still...jackass.

Why do we care more about Kanye than all the other fuckers who are screaming? Because Kanye found a way to scream the loudest.

Why is everyone screaming? Because we're all fucking frustrated.

Why does everyone love Halloween so much? Because we're all scared of winter so we have this weird holiday to make ourselves feel better. And candy.

Do you believe as I do, that there are 1K witches' souls in every piece of candy? No I don't, but I think that's a neat thought.

Do you believe the national weather service (el nino) or farmers' almanac (bitter bitter cold) about this winter? Bitter cold dude. I'm a chicagoan. It's always freaking cold.

I like all your questions smuss! it was like a meme.

Thank you everyone for your questions. Quite thoughtful!
