Kerry is Proposing a Draft?
According to an Associated Press story, John Kerry says that a "military draft could be reinstated if voters re-elect President Bush." Then he immediately flip flops and says Kerry would not bring back the draft. I suppose he's trying to do that fear-monger thing, making people think George Bush would reinstate the draft, but George … Continue reading Kerry is Proposing a Draft?
Lost Lions and Ambush Dining
Ok, I'm evil. I really, really, try to be good. In fact, I think a cornerstone of my faith depends on it. But every once in a while I get this idea... I sent the following email to the "Lost Lions," four of us that were once close high school friends and have recently reunionized … Continue reading Lost Lions and Ambush Dining
Relaxing Weekend, Back to Work
That was my first 3-day weekend since June. I'd almost forgotten how much I enjoyed my 3-day weekends every other week. Friday was a day of nothing; puttered around the house, read blogs, played some Ultima Online, and waited for Alex to show up so we could catch "Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow." … Continue reading Relaxing Weekend, Back to Work
Oops. I Stepped In It.
This story has been bothering me for a week. Yesterday it finally dawned on me why it bothered me, so this morning I did something about it. It basically comes down to there's something between Steve and Tamara, and I don't know the truth. And I really don't want to. But if a) Steve's telling … Continue reading Oops. I Stepped In It.
Bush Proudly Completed National Guard Service
Everywhere I look, it's "National Guard" this and "National Guard" that. The media appears to be coordinating a worldwide "Attack Bush" day. Odd, they didn't give the Swift Boat Vets this kind of attention; they waited a couple of days, buried the info on page A17 and hoped it would blow over. The media is … Continue reading Bush Proudly Completed National Guard Service
So Quiet You Can Hear a Pin Drop
I'm not my usual vocal self. It's not that I don't have things to say, it's just that I don't have much time to say it. I'm working a lot of overtime - yay, that's a good thing, I think I paid for my son's room and board in the last month alone. The O.T. … Continue reading So Quiet You Can Hear a Pin Drop
Vending Machine Wars, Part III
First they forced me to buy sunflower seeds against my will. Then they developed chemical weapons and forced me to buy pink sissy lemonade. Today, though, I declare a victory in the battle against vending machines! The Coke machine here is an odd one - it has a clear glass front with faux icicles to … Continue reading Vending Machine Wars, Part III
Do Not Chew on Cinderella's Head
I really enjoy The Bleat. If I had brain cells that remembered important things instead of, say, how to sing in spoonerisms, I'd probably remember that I've said that before. I really enjoy The Bleat. But instead of remembering that I've already said that, instead, it's a vague "deja-vue" sort of feeling. Update: I wrote … Continue reading Do Not Chew on Cinderella's Head
Patch & His New Doggy Door
First off, I feel silly calling it a "doggy door." I don't call Patch a "doggy," so why should I call the door something so silly sounding? I'm considering calling it the "Door of Doom for the Viscious 15 lb Canine." That sounds a lot more grown-up, though it doesn't roll off the tongue so … Continue reading Patch & His New Doggy Door

King of the Forest
I have to get my car inspected, but that has almost nothing to do with the story. Like a good little taxpayer, I reregistered both cars - my Maxima and my son's Aurora. He's heading off to college next month and I've been trying to do last minute training at turning him into a full-fledged … Continue reading King of the Forest

He Said He Liked My Pants
Tip to SondraK for the "Man on the Street" interview of people standing in line to get their copy of Bill Clinton's book signed. Funny stuff, except they can vote.
What Did You Find?
I haven't done this in a couple of weeks - I'm fascinated when people Google stuff and end up here. Most of the time what they're searching for was only mentioned in passing, or there was only a single article on the subject. Without further ado (if you want further ado, I can provide that … Continue reading What Did You Find?
Constitutional Dreaming
I've forgotten the first half of the dream already, so I'll have to pick it up in the middle. The first part had a train ride across town, avoiding traffic congestion, a little playing on the beach (I remember the houses had terraced beaches three stories high which I can't figure out how that would … Continue reading Constitutional Dreaming

It was MINE ALL MINE MWAHAHAHA....When I take control of the situation, I feel good about … Continue reading I Am Not a Victim
Not the Day After Tomorrow, or Even the Day After That
I've decided not to go see The Day After Tomorrow. According to USA Today, besides completely ignoring most of the laws of physics and thermodynamics, it's based on a book called The Coming Global Superstorm by Art Bell, the radio crackpot who once faked a photo to claim that the comet Hale-Bopp was accompanied by … Continue reading Not the Day After Tomorrow, or Even the Day After That

Vast Right Wing Conspiracy Cover is Blown!
Rather than post stream-of-consciousness back-to-back-to-back articles, here's my last minute thoughts before I turn in. Fox News has a poll out, their summary says The latest Fox News poll finds that while President Bush's job rating remains below 50 percent and pessimism about the nation's economy grows, the election matchup shows little movement. In addition, … Continue reading Vast Right Wing Conspiracy Cover is Blown!

A Do-Nothing Weekend
It started off as a Do-Something weekend, but the rain killed off all the plans. Tonight was "Something With Patty" Thursday, but for some reason she's not interested in braving the tornados in order to get a caffe latte.Tomorrow was a golf day with a vendor; rain killed that, too. All that's left on the … Continue reading A Do-Nothing Weekend
Song Stuck in My Head
Why can't I get normal songs stuck in my head? I've never had the "It's a Small Small World Song." I get "Bohemian Rhapsody." I get whistling from "Andy Griffith." Last night I went to I am Cow. It took all of 3 minutes for my brain to be permanantly seared. I woke up this … Continue reading Song Stuck in My Head
Ow.
Ow. Up way to late last night and my head hurts. It's not what you think though - I don't party hard anymore. I'm not sure I ever did - or at least I can't remember. Ha! No, I was up late last night playing with Dreamweaver and Paintshop Pro. New toys are fun. My … Continue reading Ow.

Brother still has his virus, both computers now. Looks like he has 2 of them, a Beagel variant and a new strain of Gaobot. He has this NS.EXE program hogging all of his resources and he's unable to delete it. He can surf the web, but the major virus software sites are unreachable. I've punted; … Continue reading Cure unsuccessful…
