Staying the Course 'til Election Day
Big News
President Bush reminded Americans Tuesday the U.S. is at war. Of course, Congress has not declared war, but don't confuse the President with any of that constitutional stuff.
Iran's hard-line president urged students Tuesday to push for a purge of liberal university teachers. Hey, if the guy hates liberals, he can't be all bad.
- Right, Rush?
September 6th Now & Then
Today is Independence Day in Swaziland, a small African nation about the size of New Jersey. I tried to call a Swaziland radio station for an interview, but it didn't work out. I was the 17th caller, however, and I did win the goat.
William Corfield set a world whelk eating record on this day in 1969. A whelk is a sea snail, and William shelled and ate 81 of them in 15 minutes at the sea shore in Somerset, England. And if you think I'm gonna try to say he shelled sea snails at the sea shore in Somerset, you're seriously silly.
Sir Frederick Abel died on this date in 1902. Sir Fred invented cordite by mixing up some nitroglycerin, guncotton, acetone, and Vaseline. Cordite is neat because, when it explodes, it doesn't smoke. So it's recommended by the Surgeon General.
British chemist John Dalton was born on this date in 1766. Dalton became famous for his formulation of the "atomic theory." Everybody laughed at Dalton, however. They said his atomic theory was stupid and eventually would bomb.
Love & Learn
Inside People - Counselors see rising need for anger-management workshops.
Opinion - An open letter of apology to Pluto.
Film Closeup: Mark Wahlberg - Mark Wahlberg plays an extraordinary football hero in the sports drama “Invincible.”
A Greener View - Don't let leaves do imponderable harm to your pool.
Shallow Thoughts
Personally, I think quarterbacks should be allowed to carry guns.
I'm now on two diets. On two you get to eat more.
Now, today's exciting tip from Mr. Goodhammer, the mediocre repairman. Mr. Goodhammer says, "To avoid going through life in an embarrassing position, always remember when working with Epoxy glue, never to pick your nose."
