What's that saying?

I think it goes: "Fool me once shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me."

From The Olympian:

OLYMPIA -- For the second time in six months, an inmate at the Olympia City Jail has damaged expensive electronic equipment by urinating on it from his cell.

The latest wetting happened Sunday night, after police booked a transient who had been fighting with another man outside a grocery store. Matthew F. Hobbs was in a holding cell when he allegedly urinated on two video monitors stored under a counter at the jail's booking station. The monitors were valued at $1,600, Olympia police reported.

Turns out the guy is one of our backyard nazis:

Hobbs claimed to be a white supremacist and made racist remarks to a corrections officer who is black, according to court documents.

He also threatened to kill an Olympia police officer who took him to the county jail and pledged to sexually assault the officer’s wife when he got out, court documents say.

He allegedly told a city corrections officer that “the only good cop” is a “dead” one, court documents say.

As much as I don't like Micha

As much as I don't like Michael Moore or how he has completely ruined the documentary genre, I felt embarrassed seeing President Bush stumbling over the phrase at the end of Fahrenheit 9/11.

EDIT: See, this is a perfect example of where dueling would come in handy. The officer and the inmate could have a duel.

Or just a fist-fight, one or the other.

I also cringed when I saw the clip of President Bush stumbling over that phrase shown again on TV. Painful to watch.

TFI, at first I thought you were proposing a duel by urination. I know, I'm not fully awake yet.

President Bush is a terrible

President Bush is a terrible speaker. Some say it's part of his appeal (being the Average Joe). I like how he has a sense of humor but when he's at the podium you can just sense he's struggling when trying to deliver his message.

Then again, I would take President Bush over the governor (I think from Virginia) who delivered the Democratic response to the State of the Union. Not only was he struggling to deliver a message, I honestly don't think he had one to begin with.

As far as the original post, one would think the problem could be solved by, I don't know? Moving the computer? »

When the first story came out

When the first story came out about the first incident, I assumed that of course the computer would be moved. Even I would know to do that.

With President Bush, I hope eventually once he is out of office we all can maybe learn about what being Prez was like for him, especially concerning public speaking. I have heard that he deals with learning disabilities and anxiety, probably no way to know if that is true. Even when I disagree with him, even disagree vigorously, I am able to sometimes feel for the man himself.

Oh yeah, this is supposed to be a thread about urine control. Move the computer, yes.
