Iraqis Running the Show now!
This article caught my eye. Thanks to a media that doesn't really seem to have a clue, I had assumed that the "transition was going to all happen at once on the 30th. Apparently, it has been happening gradually and the 30th was just a ceremonial date. I think it was clever to do it a couple of days early ... take an obvious terrorist opportunity away and emphasize to the Iraqis that this was what we want to happen.

Sigh... the Sudan
The situation is still horrible in Sudan. Do any of those heavy-handed "defenders of human rights" in the UN care? No. Heck Sudan is on the Human Rights Commision now. Oh, and this can't be blamed on Bush or Israel, so no domestic lefties care either. And it's not gonna win a lot of votes, so I doubt the righties will say much, but they might.

Yikes
I know that the Air America radio thing is a financial disaster, but they have been reduced to selling underwear to make ... um ... ends meet. I just hope the don't send out Al Franken to promote it. Ew.

That was nice of him he hates doing that stuff! (Last year Kerry only made it to 28% of Senate votes.)

Evil Universities Exploit Hopes of Applicants!
According to the Washington Post universities encourage people to apply even though they will fail because it makes them look good to reject lots and lots of potential students. Gee, and they get to pocket application fees, too. How nice.

Ray Bradbury Dissed!

Apparently, Ray Bradbury is not happy that Michael Moore is ripping him off by calling his movie "Fahrenheit 9/11," derived from the Bradbury classic "Fahrenheit 451". I don't see how Bradbury can really push his case legally, but I hate to such a great man be treated so badly by such a jackass.

Point of trivia: Fahrenheit 451 was written in the basement of the library at UCLA.

(From and old interview of Keith Moon)
Q: When are you going to start telling the truth?
A: What? The truth as you see it? I can't do that... you couldn't afford me!

Bill Clinton, RIP
Nope he ain't dead.

Nonetheless, Reagan's funary week smacking into Bill Clinton's Book Tour week (month? year?) made me think about how his death will be received. It occured to me that his funeral won't be about him at all; it will be about millions and millions of Baby Boomers collectively screaming OH MY GOD! I'M OLD! I'M GOING TO DIE!!! My gut feeling is that he's more of a symbol for them folks, first one in the White House of that generation, blah blah blah... he didn't really do all that much that was exciting or memorable (in an official capacity), but he was compitent... but that doesn't make fo a huge memorial. So, in the absence of material based on his actual presidency, teh vacuum will be filled with Vietnam-era Boomers whacked upside the head with thoughts of their own mortality.

That's what I figure, anyway.

No, to figure out how to cash in on this....

Actual Corndog News


There is an actual Corndog Festival in Dallas, Texas! Maybe I'll have a use for my "Rapid Rewards" ticket from Southwest, after all. Hopefully, Dallas isn't as much of a hell hole as Houston. Hmmm.... Anyhoo, the corndog festival website sports some nifty corndog art that should surely be checked out. Some of the most disturbing is here, at the bottom of the page. (If the bloody corndog images put you off, try some veggie corndogs, they ain't half bad with a bit of yellow mustard. No blood there... well, unless there was an industrial accident over at Morningstar Farms that day, I guess.)

BTW, I stole my nifty "newsreel" from their site. Har! Har!

You must be pulling my legacy!
Ronald Reagan Jr, claims that his father never "need(ed) to wrap himself in anybody else's mantle or pretend to be anybody else". Bullpuckey, I say. Reagan loved associating himself with FDR, Kennedy, etc when the opportunity arrived.

Good News from Iraq
Now that the UN is involved, the magic blue hats are already healing the world: "Finally, we have the legitimacy we crave," said an unnamed member of Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr's militia. Well, according to Scrappleface, anyhow.

Here's a cool one: Catholics throw the best parties. Just off the top of my head... what was Jesus' first miracle? A few barrels of wine for a wedding party. Also, two words: (1) Mardi (2) Gras...

Three Thumbs Down, Comrade
Now here's something or ya... Maoist Movie Reviews!I just a sucker for ovr-the-to political jibber-jabber. They love using words like "humyn" and "womyn"... it's been years since I've seen anyone use that sort of NewSpeak (NewSpell?)... it's even rare in Berkeley these days. Surf around there... lovely gems about how Men In Black is based on the fantasies of "wannabe intergalactic capitalists" and perfect for "diverting some possibly class conscious proletarians". Enjoy!

"Wall of Separation"
John Kerry takes a break for his busy schedule talking about how his faith should be completely separate from his politics to have a nice Kerry photo op in from of a crucifix. Sigh.

A drinking game based on the standard media coverage of Catholic politicians (Link found via Mark Shea's blog.) If drinking isn't your game, here's some sober commentary on the issue.

Suggested Pet Name
Have a stinky pet? Name it Lord Smellington. Unless it's female, then name it Lady Smellington. It would be best if you had both a male and female pet, then they could be Lord and Lady Smellington. You could even breed them and name their progeny cool things like Sir Reginald Smellington. Why don't I name my cat Lady Smellington? Because she is Evil, not Stinky.
