Wow, just when you thought the whole Presidential campaign couldn't get any stupider...

Apparently certain Republicans have had the nerve to question whether Kerry deserved his three Purple Hearts: Kerry Defends Vietnam Record

OK, aside from the sleaziness of attacking a decorated veteran that way, this has got to be the dumbest move I've seen in a while. This means Kerry has every right to take off the kid gloves and talk about Bush's war record, and that is one thing Bush absolutely does not need now.

Sometimes the best friends the Democrats have are Republicans.

Meanwhile, a guy who left the NFL to join the army got killed in Afghanistan -- you know, the other war, the one that was justified and necessary.
Ex-Football Star Killed in Afghanistan.
There's the guy that should be an example to our kids, not some quarterback paid millions as basically a glorified entertainer.

Well, looks like the Pentagon has a new solution to the casualities in Iraq -- make sure no one sees photos of them: Pentagon Angered by Soldier Coffin Photos
Maybe it's just me, but I don't think showing pictures of flag-draped caskets is disrespectful to a dead soldier. Looks more like the Pentagon wants to control precisely what we see.
What do you think? Drop me a line.

Well, it looks like Google is attempting to tie the ad at the top of the page to the content of the blog. This morning I see an ad for Animal Control Solutions (http://www.animalcontrolsolutions.com/). Their website offers:
~National Snake Management~
~Beaver Management~

There are too many potential jokes here to list them all. :) I'm not sure this blog qualifies me as "National". But I want to promise my readers (both of you) that I will not be "managed"! This site is and will always be complete chaos.

I'm off now to contemplate just what they might mean by "beaver management"...

Hmmm... Here's a useful little utility for those of you reading blogs at work. (You know who you are!) It's called the Web Fire Escape. It's a button you hit to rapidly go to something that looks like real work. Click the link to see how to set up an appropriate destination for your circumstances.





Someday soon I'll figure out how to put this permanently at the top of the page...

Good quote for the day:

"In the 60's, people took acid to make the world weird. Now the world is weird and people take Prozac to make it normal."
-- I don't know where this quote came from. If anybody's got the original author, please let me know.

Coming soon: more examples of just how ****ing weird the world has gotten. Also: ruminations on just how ****ing silly "self-censored" words like ****ing and s*** are.

"Now... What shall we talk about?"
-- from "Indiana Jones"
