Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) reportedly is complaining about his aides forcing him to wear “gay sweaters” in order to look younger:
The gay sweaters reportedly don't like him either.
According to one insider, the knit-picking was the crescendo of a tirade by the Arizona senator, in which he blistered aides about the minutiae of the campaign. McCain reportedly declared his frustration with being told to don the perceived homosexual outerwear in order to look younger and more approachable.
The gay sweaters reportedly don't like him either.

Street icon 'Mr. Butch' dies at 56
I realize most of you did't know about Mr. Butch, but he was pretty great.
Some Mr. Butch moments:
- "I am the black George Washington!" - part of a speech on a PA system at a busy intersection in Boston, standing on a milk crate.
- "Hello there! Today I'd like to ask you to contribute to the Drunken Negro College Fund."
- Dude: "Mr. Butch, why'd you shave your dreads?" (he used to have giant dreads, ala sideshow bob)
- Mr. Butch: "Well, I sleep on the streets, or wherever I can right? So I was talkin to this girl right, pretty girl, fine girl, and I'm thinkin she's into me right? Now just as I'm talkin' I see this little baby mouse fall right out my head, out my dreads. I'm tellin' you, you can't get no pussy with critters fallin out yo' head."

so, after two days of food poisoning and two days of recovery I have inadvertantly broken my caffiene addiction - mostly by not being able to have any food or drink in my body at all, call it an accidental detox diet.
I'd like to try the no caffiene thing, since I know its better for me, but i am tired as hell all the time.
Hence my question...
what (non-coffee) foods/drinks wake you up?

lj_nifty, but i thought i'd post it here too.
I wanted to get a feed of my lj into my myspace page. I tried to do some java foo, but discovered that myspace doesnt allow scripts. It does however (as most people know by now) allow image tags.
FeedBurner has a feature that creates an animated gif of your recent headlines. Whenever you update your site (in the case of LJ, with public posts) it creates a new gif so its always current. You can throw a link to this image into your myspace profile to show people they can look at your lj too.
You can see how i used it here

How to do it:
- Go to FeedBurner (dont worry, its free).
- Enter this:
http://ljusername.livejournal.com/data/atom
into the "Burn a Feed" box on the front page. Obviously, replace "ljusername" with your own. - Register or sign in and follow the feedburner instructions.
- Once everything is set up, go to the "Publicize" tab
- In "publicize" click on "Headline Animator" in the left menu.
- Choose your image style and "Activate". Sadly there are only two image choices at the moment, hopefully there will be more to pick from in the future.
- Copy the generated html snippet.
- Go to MySpace.
- Login and choose "Edit Profile"
- You can put that code snippet in any of the boxes in the "Interests & Personality" section and save.
- Poof! You now have a scrolling broadcast of your most recent public lj posts on your myspace page that links directly to your lj.
so, one of my coworkers just had a baby (this morning at 9:30 actually).
and since we're a blogging company, she blogged about it the WHOLE time.
She is awesome.
