with a flavor they developed but couldn't assign a fruit to.

How uncreative is that? Just call it a Boggoberry or something.

This church gave me free candy on Wall Street today, and I just now looked at it. First of all, what the heck is "Air Heads" supposed to be? And furthermore, how safe am I supposed to feel about mysterious candy from a stranger that is "White Mystery" flavored?

"White Mystery"!?!

Air Heads might be Christopher's favorite candy, and you can find them at the 7-11, and other chains, so it's a regular brand. We've never tried the White Mystery kind, but I've seen it on the shelves.

So is Matilda the decided name, or just prospective? I haven't been able to keep up.

I always figure all names are prospective, until the child has been born, and is named.

It looks like Senator Inhofe has come very close to losing the global warming debate for the global warming? what global warming? side.

Indeed, Inhofe insists that he feels even stronger about taking on what he sees as the current hysteria about global warming than he did several years ago when he first uttered that now-famous hoax statement.

In an interview, he heaped criticism on what he saw as the strategy used by those on the other side of the debate and offered a historical comparison.

"It kind of reminds . . . I could use the Third Reich, the big lie," Inhofe said.

"You say something over and over and over and over again, and people will believe it, and that's their strategy."

Close because it's more of a technique comparison than a direct Nazi comparison, but he'd better be careful.

And even then. I just got my son's insurance card in the mail, naming him as "Peter Edward ..." Actually his name is "Peter Hawkins ..." I must have been exceptionally tired the day I talked to the insurance company. And don't I know this will frell up all the paperwork...

I always figure all names are prospective, until the child has been born, and is named.

But there are names that just get kicked around, and there are names that are a lock once considered.

I think the Air head's flavor is called "White mystery" because you can't tell the flavor until you eat it. Other candies (and maybe Kool Aid) have used that gimmick before.

Doc Holliday's real name was John Henry.

John Henry isn't a bad name but Doc Holliday is a lot cooler.
