Damn it! You know what? I'm sick of this crap. I'm sick of being the guy who eats insects and gets the funny syphilis. As of this moment, it's over. I'm finished being everybody's butt monkey!

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

I don't understand why the assassination attempt isn't getting more media. It's not mentioned AT ALL in the print edition of the LAT. Weird. Shouldn't home grown terrorists be news?

They're not Muslims, so they don't exist. Good God-fearing conservatives don't do things like this. Ergo, there's no story.

I haven't seen any coverage in the New York Times yet, and I've looked.

"already on the kiss-cam with Karl Marx"-

Really? I mean, I'm proud to be a Democrat, but some of us are weird(in general, I don't think that weirdness is racial, but I think I have met, say, 9/11 Truthers at some of the local stuff,so if somebody flashes a Truther sign in Charlotte, I wouldn't think they weren't Dems. Just not the ones I would vouch for.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Shouldn't home grown terrorists be news?

I've barely seen any mention of it. It's an utter shame.

All cynicism aside, I think a plot against the president is always newsworthy. Maybe the evidence against them is slim? Except, ya know, for the hard to explain away $87,000 worth of arms and explosives.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Some of you may remember when my close friend and Emmett's godmother, Karen, was diagnosed with breast cancer. Today is her five year all clean.

A little good news when it seems in short supply.

That's big news, Hecubus. In other, smaller good news, some petition signers have thanked me for apologizing and for not adding to the flow of crap on the internet.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

A serious one, yeah. And that does sound serious.
