There's a Supernatural season one Blu-ray giveaway. From the rules:

Three (3) Prize winners ("Prize Winner(s)") will each receive one copy of "Supernatural: The Complete First Season" on Blu-ray format DVD. Each Prize has an approximate retail value ("ARV") of ($25.00 US Dollars).

Retail value of twenty-five dollars, huh? So why the fuck can't I find anyone selling it for less than forty?

Rules also say one entry a day. But I've entered once so far, about twelve-thirty Tuesday morning, and now it's three-thirty Wednesday afternoon, so by no possible calculation is this the same day on which I first entered, and yet it's not letting me enter.

And I just rewatched Devil's Trap, and I didn't realize this when I wrote my fic about Azazel and the Nephilim, but apparently I made Sam and Dean descendants of Meg's.

From the latest off Slacktivist:

A general does not outrank the vice president of the United States. A general does not outrank the vice president of the local Lions Club. A general does not outrank the vice principal of the local elementary school.

Generals who forget that tend to start giving orders to such civilians. And then they start enforcing them.

I don't think they ought to be pushing for a reinstatement of the six-month moratorium.

Instead, I think they should tell every other company operating every other deep-water well that they are shut down until BP's leak is shut down.

Want to demonstrate that you really do have an effective plan in place for dealing with this kind of leak? Here's your chance. Show me. Prove you're competent to run this kind of operation. Fix this mess, and we'll know you have the know-how and technology to do this job right.
