Sidekick II is broken. I can't turn the bloody thing on. All it had been doing for at least 5 hours beforeahnd was sit on my night table and now it won't turn on! Any advice on how to fix it? I've already emailed tmobile and I'm going to call them in the reasonable hours of the day, but the frickity thing just will not turn on.

WIBBLE

And I'm away from my desktop all day tomorrow! Mer! What to do?

At least I have things like this bit from New York Metro to amuse me:

Political Conversation: Condi’s Slip
A pressing issue of dinner-party etiquette is vexing Washington, according to a story now making the D.C. rounds: How should you react when your guest, in this case national-security adviser Condoleezza Rice, makes a poignant faux pas? At a recent dinner party hosted by New York Times D.C. bureau chief Philip Taubman and his wife, Times reporter Felicity Barringer, and attended by Arthur Sulzberger Jr., Maureen Dowd, Steven Weisman, and Elisabeth Bumiller, Rice was reportedly overheard saying, “As I was telling my husb—” and then stopping herself abruptly, before saying, “As I was telling President Bush.” Jaws dropped, but a guest says the slip by the unmarried politician, who spends weekends with the president and his wife, seemed more psychologically telling than incriminating. Nobody thinks Bush and Rice are actually an item. A National Security Council spokesman laughed and said, “No comment.”

Condi has an imaginary husband! Hee!

And in the world of Not Amusing - let's keep our eyes on this and see what Black Box Voting continues to uncover about printout disparities in Volusia County here in Florida?

Did you break the bumper?

I didn't touch or damage *anything*. I was sitting in my bed, reading, and it lost its web connection. Then, five hours later, I used the keypad to turn it off. WOE!

That's...really really odd. Did you try resetting it? Yes, of course you did. I guess that's its way of letting you know it needs to be replaced. :P

Condi's done this before. She referred to Bush as her husband during the 9/11 hearings, and in exactly the same way: "My husband- I mean, the President..."

Pitiful. Just pitiful.

Condi has an imaginary husband!

Oh,I'm really hoping the reported "close relationship" between Bush and Rice is in fact expressed physically. Such joy I'd feel reading a Gary Hart story in the Times along those lines.

"Caught by the camera, Ms. Rice is reported to have shit herself fluently in four languages."

That's both very amusing and very disturbing.

That is sad - like when I a kid calls his teacher mommy.

That icon has got it goin' on!

It's Emmet from QAF:US. He's fab!

Sounds like a Freudian slip to me...At least she doesn't think of him as her big strong Daddy, like so many of the voters :(

if this weren't so disturbingly hilarious, I think I'd be worried that Condi is about to become even more powerful...
