How Come Osama's Not on "Survivor?"

Big News

President Bush tried to justify the Iraq war for the 1,461st straight day on Tuesday. He said al-Qaida flew into the World Trade Center because Saddam Hussein offered them bonus virgins and autographed box cutters. Well, hey, I can believe that.
- Makes more sense than anything else I've heard.

Republicans justifying the Iraq war is about as likely as Osama bin Laden being named Hunk of the Year,

Conservatism isn't what it used to be. Blaming everything on al-Qaida just isn't as credible as blaming it on the communists.
- I mean, these people the Republicans are scared to death of ... folks, ... they .. live .. in ... caves!
- How smart can they be?
- Okay, be nice.

Doc Bias Hurting Black Health - A new Harvard study says young doctors may harbor implicit racial biases, and this gets in the way of African Americans receiving health care equal to that of whites.

Shallow Thoughts

We could sure use a nice cold snap about now, but I suppose that's about as likely as a sumo wrestler finding the perfect Speedo.

I'd rather be ugly than famous. Fame is but a fleeting moment-- but ugly can last a lifetime.

Puberty is that time in life when you stop chasing bugs and start chasing girls -- and then realize bugs were easier to catch.

Teenagers have it made in the summer. No school, no job. They just lay around the pool all day -- basting their pimples.
