Nidaa Tounes, Major Opposition Party, Calls for Dissolution of Government
By Emily Parker | Jul 4 2013
essebsi ,government ,MorsiMajor Tunisian opposition party Nidaa Tounes called for the dissolution of the country's current government in a statement released this evening.
In the press release, signed by the party's leader and potential presidential candidate Beji Caid Essebsi, Nidaa Tounes leaders call to replace Tunisia's current government with a new "national salvation government" composed of national political figures and experts.
Nidaa Tounes Spokesperson Lazhar Akermi confirmed the party's call to dissolve the government in a phone call with Tunisia Live this evening.
Referring to the country's "deteriorating social situation," the Nidaa Tounes press communique detailed several of the party's grievances with the country's current rulers.
According to the party, Tunisia's current government is "marked by the absence of electoral legitimacy and consensus," and the new constitution being drafted in the National Constituent Assembly (NCA) has been dominated by the ruling Ennahdha party and its "allies."
The communique also criticized "the infiltration of state institutions by incompetent individuals," "the exploitation of the justice system for use against rivals," and "the incitement of violence to a degree that threatens the political and civilian stakeholders."
The party detailed several additional problems that it believes have yet to be addressed in post-revolutionary Tunisia by the current government, such as "price increases which burden citizens, the continuing marginalization of unemployed youth from work, and pursuing a biased political recruiting process."
Besides the dissolution of the current government, Nidaa Tounes expressed several other demands in the communique, including implementing a clear road map for upcoming elections, forming a technical commission charged to reform the constitution, and dissolving the Leagues for the Protection of the Revolution (LPR), a controversial group that critics accuse of using violent means to advance the goals of the ruling Ennahdha party.
Nidaa Tounes announced the party's demands following a meeting of the party's executive bureau this evening.
"The Nidaa Tounes leadership is totally aligned with the people's will and youth, and it announces that now it's time to reconsider the whole path towards transitional democracy," the communique claimed.
The statement comes after this week's events culminating in the ousting of Egyptian President Mohammed Morsi.

How Michael Moorcock Became The Anti-Tolkien
Michael Moorcock once referred to the huge catalog of names, places, rings and rulers in J.R.R.

Perry (2013): The Supreme Court dismissed an appeal over California's Proposition 8 on jurisdictional grounds. The voter-approved ballot measure barring same-sex marriage was not defended by state officials, but rather a private party. This ruling cleared the way for same-sex marriage in California to resume, but left open-ended the legal language of 35 other states barring same-sex marriage.

"We are satisfied that EPA's construction of the statute reasonably responded to a perplexing problem the statute itself does not resolve."Shortly before the court's December arguments, a coalition of eight of nine governors from the affected downwind states signed a petition urging the EPA to force nine southern and midwestern upwind states to reduce smog and soot emissions from power plants.The one downwind governor who did not sign was New Jersey's Chris Christie.Court seemingly at odds over cell phones and searchesThose Democratic or Independent governors criticized an earlier federal appeals court ruling against federal oversight, saying it "allows upwind states to postpone the costs of air pollution controls for years, while in the interim downwind states and their residents are forced to suffer the present consequences of that pollution."Enforcement of what is known as the Transport Rule was adopted by the EPA in 2011, but remained on hold while the court cases worked toward conclusion. The agency should soon be allowed to put the revised regulations in place. The Justice Department had urged the court to allow the EPA to use the somewhat discretionary standard "contribute significantly," when determining a state's cost-based share of transported air pollution.In a typically thunderous dissent, Justice Antonin Scalia said, "Today's opinion is a textbook example of how a court established to assure government by the people can instead assure government by the bureaucracy." He said the majority's reasoning will only encourage "rogue administration of the law."Just WatchedGrand jury investigates chemical spillreplayMore Videos ...Grand jury investigates chemical spill 02:50PLAY VIDEOJust WatchedDescend into the depths of coal minereplayMore Videos ...Descend into the depths of coal mine 04:02PLAY VIDEOJust Watched2012: Reducing greenhouse gases in ChinareplayMore Videos ...2012: Reducing greenhouse gases in China 02:09PLAY VIDEOScalia made his comments from the bench, an unusual tactic for a dissent. He was supported by Justice Clarence Thomas. Justice Samuel Alito did not take part in the cases.Among the provisions being challenged was the EPA's cost-based formula, using what it calls a balance between an upwind state's obligation to reduce coal-fired pollution, and the amount of money that would be required for a downwind state to feasibly meet its own obligations. That calculation was a key part of the decision's calculus, which critics of the policies say unfairly punishes some states more than others, by placing a greater financial burden for their share of unhealthy air particulates.Texas Solicitor General Jonathan Mitchell had told the court, "EPA's actions in this case have written the states out of the Clean Air Act. EPA has left the states completely in the dark about the meaning of the phrase 'contribute significantly.'"The justices have yet to issue a ruling in another related and closely watched environmental case: can the EPA tighten emission standards for "stationary" greenhouse gas sources -- such as power plants -- in what the government says is an effort to stem the effects of global warming.The high court in 2007 affirmed the conclusions by much of the scientific community that greenhouse gases are an air pollutant, but that case just dealt with emissions from motor vehicles. The high court will decide if the agency properly extended its regulatory authority.The consolidated cases decided Tuesday are EPA v. EME Homer City Generation (12-1182) and American Lung Assn. v.

Will You Go See the New Kids on the Block On Tour?
Like us on Facebook
Well, as of this morning's announcement on the Today Show, it's really official: The New Kids on the Block have reunited, confirming the rumors from earlier this year. The former heartthrobs — who seem like they shouldn't be called "new kids" anymore, but oh well — will record a new album and head out on tour. Donnie Wahlberg promised: "We're going to dance, we're going to sing, we're going to do it all."
Judging from the crowd's reaction on Today, it seems like the guys still have some fans. Check out the video and let me know: will you go see them on tour?
6 years
I have gone back and forth in my mind on this one. I'm excited but then again I find it sad... reasons being:
In elementary school I LOVED NKOTB, I saw them in concert THREE times (call me spoiled), I was certainly obsessed. Once I got to Junior High I completely dropped them though... they weren't very "cool" anymore by that time.
I think if they can some how change their name to something more adult and leave out the dancing they can be a respectable singing group. Lord, I really hope they leave out the dancing, the thought of watching Donnie Walhberg dance to "The Right Stuff" horrifies me.
I'm also not sure if the loyal, old school fans can take them very far. Although all still very handsome, actually better looking than in their earlier days, I think they are far too old to gain new teenage fans. On the other hand I feel that the old fans might be excited but could be too embarrassed to buy a concert ticket.
In my opinion... Jordan, basically the "leader" of the group, is an egotistical a**hole and probably had a lot to do with all of this since he has yet to have a decent career.
Joe McIntyre still seems very sweet but he needs a career boost as well.
As for the other three (Danny, Donnie and Jon) I think they definitely had to be convinced... I don't think they were all for it right away.
Donnie is a successful actor, Jon is into Real Estate and from what I know Danny is a music producer or something along those lines.
I really feel bad for Jon because he does have some sort of anxiety disorder and just always, always, always looks uncomfortable on stage... whether performing or even doing an interview. I hate that he was probably talked into it and put in a situation he doesn't want... but doesn't want to be the bad guy and prevent the reunion from happening. I bet he was out numbered.
I did see them on "The Today Show" and I will have a better opinion when I watch their first performance on May 16th... I'll even tape it.
I hope they can prove me wrong on my negative points... I really, really hope so.
6 years
YES!! I can't believe they are back ! And I cannot believe how excited I am about this, I am totally regressing! LOL

I said other. I was a fan, but I never went to a concert. I will continue to be a fan, but I still won't go to a concert of theirs. There is a lot of other musicians I would rather see than these guys.
6 years
Hey Bran, I was wondering the same thing...didn't he have an anxiety disorder or something?
6 years
I didn't think that would be so excited for a NKOTB reunion but when I saw them on the Today Show I was REALLY excited to see them all back together again, I can't wait to hear the new album I hope it's current and good!
6 years
I was about 10 when they were really popular and I guess I was on the bandwagon. I would totally go see them just to see what's up now. Thae same reason you go to High school reunions right? To find out who is doing well and who is a loser now. I really wonder how they convinced Jon to do this since by all accounts he didn't like it when they did it the first time. Weird
6 years
I just laughed so hard.. they seem way too old. If you're pushing 40, it's just humorous to call yourself a new kid on the block!
6 years
WOW, so crazy to see them all together again.
I was a fan back then, but really because that was The Big Thing when I was seven. If you were a little girl, you had to like New Kids on the Block and have the dolls, the sleeping bag, the lunchbox, etc. Listening back to the music in later years... it's not dreadful, but it's nothing more than uninspired pop either.
I saw Jordan at a club one night when I lived in Boston. That was surreal - he was my favorite New Kid. But Joey's looking pretty cute these days.
6 years
the singing was okay i guess. i thought the dancing was embarasing. i don't like boy choir/drill teams, and since they play no instruments that's kind of what they seem like to me. not going.
6 years
No thanks! Didn't like them then, don't like them now. I'd rather see Menudo! Well, not really.
6 years
I always liked all different types of music and I loved them as much as I loved my Bon Jovi. I will definitely go see them!
6 years
Nope, most of the girls my age were obsessed with them but I was never a fan. I was too busy dying my hair black and listening to Depeche Mode and the Cure. :rotfl:
6 years
I can't believe it's been 20 years! But yes I will be there with my big NKOTB botton on my shirt.

Boxee Cloud DVR Is Not Quite Ready for Prime Time
- Wednesday April 10, 2013
The set-top box market is more crowded than ever and getting even more so as everyone from Rdio to Intel launches services and devices to cash in on the cord-cutting TV trend. To even have a chance in this $4.6 billion market, a newcomer can't launch a beta service. It has to be all or nothing — and Boxee is giving some markets nothing.

What is the Sandstorm? Well, it's the name for the upcoming Patch 1.3 for Global Agenda, which follows in the footsteps of the most recent patches in two ways. The first is that it's coming fast, with the whole thing tentatively scheduled for April. The second is that it's going to be quite large, containing several sweeping upgrades to the way the game plays. Even more so than one might expect, in fact -- one of the major features of the patch as announced today is a plan for large, open areas for players to move through and perform missions.
If that sounds remarkably similar to outdoor environments in most MMOs, you're probably on to something. The zones planned are preliminarily going to include a PvE zone and a PvPvE area, allowing somewhere between 30-50 players concurrently in the map. There are also several new weapons and devices being added to facilitate the new "specialization" system. Each class will be able to select one of two specializations at level 30, opening up a range of new abilities and equipment. And that's only the tip of the iceberg, with several additions and upgrades being added to drops, crafting, and token rewards. Take a look at the full announcement for what's planned for patch 1.3, and get ready to experience even more of Global Agenda from a new perspective.

The grey market keys for this game are under $20. Is the game far enough along that a $20 one-month demo not a total waste?
Posted: Mar 24th 2010 1:09PM Damn Dirty Ape said
They haven't yet charged anyone a sub fee, and even once they start charging you can continue to play it for free (just not the conquest mode). It's not a traditional MMO in that once you stop subbing you can't even log on.
I bought it for $40 and even though I have yet to participate in conquest mode I feel like I've gotten my moneys worth. If you like class based team games like TF2 I think you'll easily find 20 bucks worth of entertainment out of it.

I wish they would give the people that don't sub a chance to play the open areas to see if is actually worth paying a fee for.

Even if you haven't picked up a book of poetry since high school lit class, that's ok--a whole new crop of cool girl poets are about to change your mind.Leading the pack is Mira Gonzalez, the L.A.-bred writer whose new book I Will Never Be Beautiful Enough To Make Us Beautiful Together, reads like the stuff straight out of Girls-- that's a compliment, by the way. It's just as clever, totally unfiltered, and peppered with twisted insight and refreshing humor. She already has Tao Lin's stamp of approval, and her bite-sized pieces are the type of work you can devour over and over again.
Talking to Gonzalez, it's exactly this (sometimes uncomfortably) truthful quality that defines her work.
"I write stuff and I'm like, 'That's way too private, I shouldn't share it with anyone!' she explained. "But I like to share the type of thing that most people feel awkward about, and when they read it they don't feel quite as alone." It's exactly this communal, empathetic quality that makes these poets' work so special.
Gonzalez and the rest of the crew of emerging young poets are all growing up together with us...so join the club and find out more what makes our favorites so awesome here.

Spindelegger: "A milestone in strengthening transparency and corruption prevention"
UN General Assembly adopts Austrian resolution initiative for strengthening external public financial control by consensus
Vienna, 24 November 2011 - "Public financial control is an essential component of a democratic rule of law. It impedes the abuse of power, and is a crucial instrument for corruption prevention and transparent governance", said Vice Chancellor and Foreign Minister Spindelegger, expressing his satisfaction for the success of the Austrian initiative on external public financial control.
The Austrian resolution initiative was adopted with broad support by the Second Committee of the UN General Assembly on 22 November. The resolution stresses the important role of courts of auditors in developing an efficient state administration, and urges the member states to sustainably ensure and strengthen the independence of the courts of auditors.
"The independence of the courts of auditors is of utmost importance for the efficiency, transparency, and accountability of the state administration. Public audit institutions thus contribute to the legitimacy of state intervention. In addition, it guarantees that an efficient and sustainable control function is carried out by the parliaments and strengthens the people's confidence in state institutions", the Foreign Minister added.
The initiative was launched by the President of the Austrian Court of Auditors, Josef Moser in his capacity as head of the International Organisation of Supreme Audit Institutions (INTOSAI). The central objective of INTOSAI is to strengthen the independence of external public financial control. The resolution expressly acknowledges the work of INTOSAI and encourages the UN and its member states to cooperate with INTOSAI.

The Road from Phoenix Leads Now to Washington, DC
I am so moved by the commitment of our faith community to keep on pressing for justice, standing on the side of love with immigrant families and children. Four years ago, we converged in Phoenix to stop the infamous SB1070 anti-immigrant law. On Thursday, July 31st, thirty-five Unitarian Universalist clergy and faith leaders from 20 states will commit civil disobedience in front of the White House, along with over 120 pastors, rabbis, ministers, faith leaders and immigrant rights leaders from around the country. They will be joined by hundreds of others, including dozens of UUs, there to support the Pray for Relief—Not One More Family Separated Summit on July 31st – August 2nd urging President Obama to take executive action to stop the deportations. Standing on the Side of Love will be putting love into action!
We know that not everyone can come to Washington, DC, commit civil disobedience, or organize or attend a vigil. One way we hope that many of you will help is through contributing to our fund to raise bail money for those being arrested who cannot afford the $50 fine and to support Standing on the Side of Love's continued immigrant justice campaign.
This action is incredibly timely. Last month, President Obama announced that with the failure of Congress to pass immigration reform he would consider what kind of administrative relief he can provide. At the same time, reports of the children at the border fleeing violence in Central America became widely known. Nativist demonstrations against housing the children organized by elected local officials and talk radio hosts have been met by people, many of them wearing yellow Love shirts, calling for compassion and welcome.
Standing on the Side of love is sharing photographs and reports from California, Texas, Massachusetts, Michigan, New York, Washington, DC and around the country from those seeking to counter fear with love. We have an opportunity to let President Obama know that we and the interfaith community support relief and to send a message to our nation that we are still a country that welcomes our neighbors and provides refuge for those fleeing oppression.
We will be sending out updates of the action, including live streaming, and are providing you with an opportunity to call the White House in support of the faith leaders being arrested out front. And we will continue to report on the many actions and vigils in support of the refugee youth at the border.
Your voice is needed in Washington, DC. Please call 1-866-961-4293 and follow the instructions to be connected to the White House comment line!
Here's a sample script:
"I'm from City, State, Congregation/Community and as a person of faith, I urge President Obama to stop the pain and family separation caused by deportations. The President has the authority to allow our undocumented community members to stay here in the United States without fear of deportation. Congressional inaction cannot be an excuse to avoid doing what is right. I urge the President to renew DACA status for those who have it, to extend the application timeline, and to implement a similar process of affirmative relief for all undocumented immigrants."
Together we can continue to build and sustain our movement for justice, but we can't do that without supporting those who are out on the 'front lines' as well as our Standing on the Side of Love campaign that keeps our movement connected. Please contribute what you can today. Every dollar you contribute is a missive for love.
In faith,
Susan Leslie
UUA Congregational Advocacy & Witness Director
P.S. One of the ways we are developing strong leaders for immigrant justice is by teaming up with the UU College of Social Justice for a border tour in October. Please consider joining UUA President Rev. Peter Morales and other faith leaders for a life-changing experience that will ground your activism with a deep understanding of what is happening on the border and empower your voice when you return home. We need a corps of leaders who can testify faithfully and authentically to the injustices that must be stopped. We need you. Registration closes on August 8th—see details here.

Wish I could offer more than moral support on this issue. But I am a retiree living basically on Social Security and a very small pension. I do contribute locally to as many issues as I can. Keep up the fight!
While our minister was at the White House, several of us participated in a local march for peace in Gaza and divestment of CT state investments in industries supporting Israel's oppression of the Palestinians.

[Verse 1]
I get high when I see you go by
My oh my
When you sigh, my, my inside just flies
Why am I so shy when I'm beside you?
It's only love and that is all
Why should I feel the way I do?
It's only love, and that is all
But it's so hard loving you
[Verse 2]
Is it right that you and I should fight
Every night?
Just the sight of you makes nighttime bright
Very bright
Haven't I the right to make it up girl?
Yes it's so hard loving you, loving you

Current Time
Lay of the Land
Crete is over 150 miles from end to end, with a varied topography including mountains and high plateaus. The 8,057-foot Mount Ida stands at the island's center. Most residents and visitors stick to the north coast, at the center of which is Iraklio, Crete's largest city and main entry point. From here, a broad coastal highway takes you west to Rethymnon and Chania, or east to the luxury hotels on the Elounda Peninsula, just above Agios Nikolaos, and farther down the coast to Sitia, beyond which lie the palm trees of Vai Beach.
Because Crete is farther south than the rest of Greece, and surrounded by a broader stretch of sea, the summer season lingers longer here than anywhere else in the country. This is a boon to visitors, because it allows them to avoid the hot, crowded months of July and August, and to stretch those idyllic Aegean days of September right through to the end of Octoberand turn May into the new June.
By Air
If you are based in Europe, take advantage of the numerous direct charter flights to avoid the hassle of changing planes in Athens. Most Americans, though, will pass through that sometimes chaotic hub, with the option of flying on to Iraklio or the smaller Chania airport, in the west. (In the near future, the airport at Sitia will be upgraded and will become a useful entry point, too.) Both Olympic Airlines (www.olympicairlines.com) and Aegean Airlines (www.aegeanair.com) fly from Athens to Iraklio and Chania, taking 50 minutes and costing about $150 one way.
By Sea
Arriving on Crete from Athens aboard a ferry boat is the classic, and most romantic, way to get there. Typically, the overnight journey departs from Piraeus (Athens' seaport neighbor) around eight in the evening and arrives at Iraklio around dawn. If you are willing to go deck class, it will cost around $40, with various sleeper arrangements available, too. For schedules, go to www.greekferries.gr. You can purchase tickets directly through a number of ferry companies; among the best for Crete connections are Minoan Lines (www.minoan.gr) and Anek Lines (www.anek.gr). The caveat is that schedules are often not posted until shortly before they take effect, and you are still usually required to pick up the tickets at a travel agency or ferry office in Greece after purchasing online. It is also possible to arrive on Crete by ferry via circuitous island-hopping routes from just about anywhere in the Aegean.
Buses connect most areas of interest to visitors. The 83 miles between Iraklio and Chania, for instance, takes three hours and costs about $17 (www.crete-buses.gr). If you are going to see much of the island, though, it is more convenient to rent a car. Most of the major companies are represented at the airports, with unlimited mileage rates beginning at $30$35 per day. Keep in mind that without an international driving permit, which has to be obtained before you leave the U.S., your insurance is invalid. Contact AAA at www.aaa.com for details on how to get a permit.

You'll quickly discover that many Greek place names have a profusion of alternate spellings, evidence of outside influences on the language that date back to the ancient Romans. In English there is no "correct" way to spell these names, and you'll see variations even from one source. On the official Web site for the Greek National Tourism Organization, for instance, Crete's largest city, which could most literally be translated from Greek as Herakleion, is variously spelled Heraklion, Heraklio, and Iraklio. There will be no such confusion here, however, as we've consistently used the briefest form.

Close to You is a Filipino film starring John Lloyd Cruz, Bea Alonzo, and introducing Sam Milby. The movie was released on February 15, 2006 under Star Cinema, directed by Cathy Garcia-Molina. The year 2006 ended with 5 Star Cinema films grossing more than ₱100 million including Close To You.
Manuel and Marian have been best friends since they were kids. They are so close that they know each other's secrets...well, almost. For the last 16 years, Manuel never had the courage to tell Marian how much he loves her.
On the other hand, Marian sees Manuel as no more than her best friend. Marian's greatest love has always been Lance (Sam), a classmate who protected her from bullies back in grade school. Ever since Lance and his family migrated abroad ten years ago, Marian never had the chance to establish contact with him again. The only thing that Marian knows is that Lance has become the lead singer of the new rock band, Orion.
Good fortune smiles on Marian when Orion decides to tour the Philippines. Marian is intent on seeing Lance again, and she brings Manuel with her on a chase that brings them around the Philippines and abroad. Manuel believes that the whole chase is futile because a popular star like Lance will not remember a simple girl like Marian, but Marian does not believe him.
When Lance and Marian finally meet again, sparks fly between them. Manuel now has to decide - will he let his best friend be happy with her Prince Charming, or will he fight for the love that has kept him alive for the last 16 years?

Adam Rayner plays a Middle East dictator's son in the new FX series "Tyrant."
The great escapist
All three of Steve McQueen's wives, including Ali MacGraw, share their memories of him in "I Am Steve McQueen," a new documentary that isn't afraid to show the rough edges of one of film's most magnetic stars. Producers are generous with clips, but it's a head scratcher as to why they didn't focus more on "The Reivers," one of the actor's riskiest works. 8 p.m. Spike
Get your motor runnin'
Car enthusiasts will want to buckle up for "Motor City Masters," a new series set on discovering the next great auto designer. Ten competitors will be judged by experts and celebrity guests, including Melissa Joan Hart, Jesse Metcalfe and Pete Wentz. 9 p.m. TruTV
Arabian nights
The behind-the-scenes pedigree doesn't get much better than this: Former Minnesota playwright Craig Wright has teamed up with "Homeland" producers Howard Gordon and Gideon Raff, as well as "Moonlighting" creator Glenn Gordon Caron, to make "Tyrant," a new series about how an American family is sucked into the inner workings of a fictional Middle Eastern nation. 9 p.m. FX

Victoria's secret models
I was checking out the Victoria's Secret website the other night when I should have been doing homework and I got distracted by the great deals they have. They have some really great sweaters from 20 to 50 dollars. My roommate purchased a comfortable cashmere cotton cardigan. A simple piece to add to any woman's closet. This sweater came in a variety of colors and was on sale for 30 dollars.
The popular styles seemed to be off the shoulders, which honestly don't work on everyone. I think the most important thing when it comes to purchasing sweaters is the comfort. A couple things to remember when shopping for sweaters is the fabric content and the care instructions. Wool can be itchy, so if your shopping online and buying it because it looks cute, don't be surprised if your disappointed about the feel when it cozies up against your skin.
Victoria's Secret has a variety of sales going online at the moment. Also,if you haven't checked out the new store on Michigan Avenue, the space is unbelievable. Make sure to stop in and see the innovative new "sexy" they are adding to the city.

Colchester duo in Roots Hall move
The duo become the latest U's players to make the trip to Roots Hall following the loan spells of John White and Matt Heath earlier in the campaign. Baldwin has opted for a move after falling to secure a regular spot in boss Steve Tilson's squad in recent weeks, while Vernon scored a hat-trick for the Us in the Essex Senior Cup in midweek following his recovery from an ankle injury. Due to the terms of their loan agreement, neither will be allowed to play for Southend when they play Colchester on February 8.

lol, very nice spoof there on the ghoul's side of things. Nice work, keep it up.
Life's rough when you're a ghoul, you know? First there's the change, oh what a bunch of loveliness that is, eh? You're doing something normal, like going to your car or reading a book and boom! Some bint with an overbite comes and sinks his teeth into you. 'Snot very fair, I can tell you that right off.
Then comes the orientation. Evil henchman that, supernatural this, read the employee manual... A bit of a bore, if you don't mind me saying. Oh, and the dress code! Nothin' but grays and whites! Can you believe that? Apparently, our entire job is to walk around, look stupified, and absorb various types of ammunition by means of stopping it with our bodies. We're not even payed! I tell you, I wouldn't mind rightly sticking my foot right up Mr. Angsty's arse, but there's the entire "I'm compelled to obey" bit.
Not much of a health plan, either. I guess that I'm lucky in that I don't get sick anymore, being technically dead and all that, but some dental coverage here and there would be nice. I mean, I've got to use these things for all kinds of biting and chewing now! Does murder on me ol' chompers! Though I guess I couldn't very well just waltz into a dentist office. It'd be, "Have a seat in the chair sir" and they'd pull out that metal pick and start carving away. Then they'd say, "Ah! You obviously haven't been flossing! There's bits of brains, here!" and the gig would be up, eh?
Still, it's not all bad. I particularly like the financial bonuses of being dead, you know? No eating, no need for creature comforts, and you'd be suprised at how relaxing mindlessly slogging through a ruined town can be. Yet, oft times I find myself wishing I were still, you know, alive. Can't have it all, I guess.
