I’ve got far too much work to go out and play today. This is probably a good thing - it’s the kind of muggy, East Coast summer’s day that is extremely comfortable for those who happen to have gills. There’s not so much a “breeze” as a “current.” So I’ll content myself with an iced coffee, a mountain of assignments, and thee, dear readers.
- The growing evidence that al-Qaeda may be operating in Iraq is being spun, by some, as “in line with the White House’s contention of a connection between Saddam and al-Qaeda.” In a similar vein, I can prove that your home has an infestation of ants. Just give me a couple of sacks of garbage and a week or two to work with…
- It’s been a great couple of weeks around here - lots of visitors and tons of extremely enjoyable comments (the discussion following “Save My Marriage” is a particularly good read). So I’ll remind you all that we also have a fully-functiong Forum, which may be slightly underutilized due to the extremely lame and tiny link that I’ve provided to it.
But it’s there and it’s for you to make of what you will. I know, I know - I need to make the link more prominent. Much of the site needs a redesign. I know. Like other purveyors of intelligence in this country, I can assure you that the problem is not laziness - just incompetence.
- Hmmm. Their seems to be trouble with state budgets not only in California, but also in Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Oregon, Colorado, South Carolina, Illinois, Missouri, Maryland, and Alaska. And those are just from stories from the past two days. It’s clear where the problem lies: Recall those governors! Obviously, they’re not doing their jobs.

1Adam, your marriage is important to us, of course we would want to comment on it. We know that by merely pointing out the problems, we will solve them. Our work is done here.
The same way that replacing a governor will correct a bad economy and budget deficits. I wish Maryland would recall a REPUBLICAN governor and see how well that goes over.
Maybe there is another actor from the monumental film “Predator” that could be governor. We have already had Jesse “aint got time to bleed” Ventura, an now Aaanold “F*** off A** hole” Swartzenegger. Maybe we can find that guy who played the alien. That would be even more scary than living with Governor Erlich. umm… maybe not.

2With so manay people in California doing their best to forget their various officials (elected, appointed, whatever) now they’re trying to get us to recall the governor.
What is his name?

3I do have gills, and it’s not helping.
And I’d be happy enough for Massachusetts to jump on the recall craze. Mitt “I’ve never been in government but you should see me ski” Romney is setting us back a few pegs.

Cute. Not as cute as that Predator, though. It had that mouth thing it did. I want Token Black Guy for Governor, and now he’s stepping down from State maybe he can do it.
I remember Token Black Guy had a much bigger part in the sequel, when he morphed into Danny Glover.

5Adam as long as you are rebuilding a new comment system, I could really use a spell check. It’s a real pain to type everything out, copy it to word, correct almost every word, and transport it back to your comment cubical. It’s hard enought to fake intellegence when I don’t know whether its weather or wether, or something.
(Excuse me I have to check everything)
Ok I’m back
grrrrrr
(now I’ve got to do it over again)
