Catching Up

Some Bits and Pieces....

• A Spammer gets Scammed - Jim "Rant-Man" MacQuarrie takes one of those "Nigerian Prince with $35 Million I Need To Transfer Out - Fast!" Spammers and runs his own scam right back at him. Read Parts One, Two, and finally Three. It's refreshing to see one of these lowlifes get taken....
  
  
• Pupdate - Little Ramona is growing, noticably larger than in the pictures below. However, one thing is blisteringly obvious: cats are easier to housetrain. Let's just end it there.
  
  
• The Party has Moved On - Michael Totten has some interesting analysis of what's happened to the Democratic party. I touched on this topic some months ago, essentially saying that Democrats have moved from being liberal to Leftists. Someone needs to get a strong rope and pull it w-a-a-a-a-a-y back toward the center. Thanks, Michael.
  
  
• Distractions.... - Wednesday night Ah-nold announced his candidacy, and I was at Barley's Tap House watching my bro play some tunes (you did go, didn't you? Didn't you??? Grr...) Anyway, on the TV above the bar FoxNews (motto: We've Dropped "Crazy Like A..." from our title - and passed the savings on to you!) was broadcasting the event ad nauseum. Finally the pundits got into the act. It's Matt Drudge - in all his ill-fitting Panama-hatted glory! (Does that guy ever look like he's more than half-awake? He looks like Mandy Patinkin on Prozac).
  
  Who's that? Sean Hannity, of Hannity and Colmes - *snore*. Does he still have on of those Not Rush radio shows? You know, there's Rush, and then everybody else who's Not Rush. Hard to tell them all apart.
  
  Oh, good - there's Geraldo, drawing technical schematics for the T-1000 unit in the sand. What happened to your MSNBC gig, Gerry? Weren't there any openings on the pork-bellies futures desk at CNBC? Oh, I hear Animal Plane's hiring for a new reality series about treasure hunters who go out after nonexistant treasures - it's called Crock Files.
  
  Finally...oh, wait...it's - it's - Ann Coulter! She seems to be alluding to Ah-nuld's being married to a Kennedy automatically makes him a liberal and a traitor. In fact, anyone who's ever seen one of his movies is a traitor! You're all traitors! Ah-hahahahah!!!! (runs out in a screaming, frothing frenzy as her head explodes).
  
  Oh, yeah - there's music here. *applause applause* - "Free Bird!!!"
  
  UPDATE: Oh yeah...
  
  
• I've added a new feature to my site - What I'm Doing. It's up there in the top right, and I'll be listing whatever books, audiotapes and/or DVD's I'm watching right now. I've also become one of those Amazon Associates, so each of the titles has a link to their info/purchase pages on Amazon. If you buy it through that link, I get a small percentage! So, like, buy stuff...
