OH SHAK,

SORRY FOR FORGETTING ABOUT YOU.

BTW, WE'RE GOING TO CHINA.
COME VISIT, WE HAVE A GUEST ROOM.

as if google earth didn't make me small enough already

For about 70 days it got brighter, peaking with a brightness comparable to 50 billion suns, much brighter than most other supernovas. Supernovas are usually bright for a couple of weeks at most.

Everybody i'm please to announce my sister had a beautiful little girl today, Diana Louise Franzi. Pics to follow!

"However, this bill will deprive us of the opportunity to destroy the American forces which we have caught in a historic trap."

What was that? Was that "brinkmanship"? It sounds like a seed planted that they're hoping will grow into US acceptance of a withdrawal. They want us out of there, so they would be free to set up training camps all over the place. These guys will always do more than the American people are willing to sacrifice. There's no end to it. The only thing you can do is try to avoid getting caught in the middle.

Coast Thru

Starting this week off with a bang I have a new idea hot off the frontal lobe.

Drive thru's should be designed with a grade built it, so drivers can turn their cars OFF while waiting in line and coast through.

Andrew and Lisbeth sent me some dvd's.. I watched the Johnny Cash movie Walk the Line. I'd been semi-avoiding it because I don't like Reese Witherspoon's chin. Which just goes to show that you shouldn't be a jerk. I was capital-T totally blown away, Phoenix as Cash is amazing, Robt Patrick as his father is intense, the music is the real treat - stuff you never heard before and it all rocks. I can't wait to watch it again. The Folsom Prison scene after he steps onto the stage is incredible.

I HOG THE GROUND

Blue's Clue rules, and Steve Burns rules. This is the best kids anthem, a true rock and roll masterpiece. (linkity)

Also very good is Leon Thomas' Duck 4, really great production he looks like some sort of young Al Green and sings like an angel.

Recently my Dad was working on his giant lathe and managed to rip the top 1/3rd of his pinkie on his left hand off. He's been going to the Dr. a lot getting it dressed and doing some PT... I'm trying to think of cool things he could potentially have installed in place of the end of his pinkie:
1. measuring tape
2. ball point pen
3. usb storage device
4. laser pointer
5. prosthetic cover with toothpick holder underneath
6. flashlight
7. eyeglass repair kit
8. first aid kit
9. antibacterial hand cleaner dispenser
10. flag holder
11. bbq temperature probe
12. mini squeegee

I feel like I'm on the right track, but just can't flesh this out anymore. Har har.

Do you have any creative and or good ideas? Thanks in advance.

nyyaa!! just try to catch meeee

This deranged lunatic taunts security as they try to corner him for chasing women through the supermarket brandishing a  butternut squash.

Actually, this is Eddie Van Halen. He is a childhood (ahem, mature childhood) hero, the first three Van Halen albums changed my LIFE, to the point that I can forgive all the Van Haggar / Lee Roth simpering. This is obviously not a picture he would've chosen to splash on cnn.com, but it fits the article well. [link]

Chuck Hagel

I just heard Maj. General Joseph Fil tell us that the tactic being used in Baghdad is called "Clear Control and Retain". God I'm glad we're not up against Hitler.

Presidential Aspirerers

Here's my predictions / hopes at this point:

Hillary BAD BAD BAD BAD ::ALERT BADD
While it would be cool to have a female prez, and she's probably one smart/tuff cookie, Hills would be a divider on top of the Divider in Chief we have now. B. A. Double D. that spells Clinton.

Mike Huckabee. Scary religious robot. Talks in grandiose ambiguities. No way.

Barack Hussein Obama. Sorry, would divide this country possibly more than HIllary.

Rudy... I don't know. You know he's America's hero and all, but really I don't think he did anything more than ruthlessly clean up NYC.. As far as that goes I think Mayor Mike would be a much more serious Presidential contender. But he's ok I guess. Seems a little insane.

Despite John McCain's refusal to talk about the Iraq War in any other terms besides "Winner" and "Loser", I think he would make a great president because we would all be so BORED STIFF and/or DEPRESSED out of our MINDS we would forget about how bad things really are.

John Edwards. Nope.

Joe Biden's crazy mouth is sure entertaining but maybe too unregulated for PODUS.

This is the UNITER. Hagel is the man. Hasn't announced he's running yet, but hasn't NOT. Clearly the best candidate. To me at least.  Fingers crossed.
