I got a pocket full of quarters, and I'm headed to the arcade

Happy Winter-een-mas Everyone! Warm up your thumbs and kick it old school.

In completely unrelated news, am I the only one who finds something disturbing about the character assassination of Condoleeza Rice currently disguised as a confirmation hearing? Senator Barbara Boxer (D-CA), who has already so much as called Dr. Rice a liar to her face during previous testimony, has requested an hour of time today all to herself. Lord only knows what she'll do for an encore. Perhaps she'll ask if Dr. Rice knows about birthin' dem babies.
senator Robert Byrd (D-WV) has also requested a full hour for himself, leaving only 7 for the rest of the entire committee to ask questions. One wonders what Sen. Byrd, a former member of the Ku Klux Klan, will need to do in order to top Sen. Boxer's bad mouthing of a prominent african american woman... Maybe he can hold a press conference on the Capitol steps by a tasteful display of burning crosses. I hope he at least dresses up in his best sheet today.

All I know is that I'm going to need a whole mess of Galaga to wash all this hypocrisy down.
